Background
With the introduction of intelligent pavements, the supply of energy in the road environment is the basis of information-aware acquisition, integrated processing, and comprehensive services. In order to ensure self-maintenance of roads, solar energy, wind energy, heat energy and mechanical energy in the environment are gradually collected and utilized and converted into electric energy. However, in the field of energy conversion in road engineering, the collection of solar energy, thermal energy and wind energy, except for mechanical energy, is susceptible to the influence and interference of environmental factors, and the conversion efficiency is not easy to guarantee. In addition, the road environment is one of the most enriched places of mechanical energy, and energy conversion methods based on electromagnetic induction, piezoelectric effect and pyroelectric have been widely adopted, but all of them have the defects of low energy conversion efficiency, narrow frequency band, excessive signal sensitivity, and the like. Based on this, triboelectric nanogenerators with high open-circuit voltage and much higher instantaneous energy conversion efficiency than other energy harvesting devices such as piezoelectricity, magnetoelectricity and the like gradually appear in recent years, but most of the currently researched triboelectric nanogenerators need appropriate chemical and physical modification on the surface of a friction layer to increase the quantity of transferred charges, and the treatments are complex in process, high in cost and difficult to be applied in large quantities. In summary, the road mechanical energy can be effectively collected and utilized in a low-frequency range in a simple mode, and the road mechanical energy is converted into electric energy with stable signals, so that the road mechanical energy collection and utilization method has a wide application prospect in the field of road engineering.
