As a novel energy-harvesting device, a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) can harvest almost all mechanical energy and transform it into electrical energy, but its output is low. Although the micro-nano structures of triboelectrode surfaces can improve their output efficiency, they lead to high costs and are not suitable for large-scale applications. To address this problem, we developed a novel TENG coating with charge-storage properties. In this study, we modified an acrylic resin, a friction material, with nano-BaTiO3 particles and gas phase fluorination. The charge-trapping ability of nanoparticles was used to improve the output of TENG. The short-circuit current and the output voltage of coating-based TENGs featuring charge storage and electrification reached 15 μA and 800 V, respectively, without decay for longtime working. On this basis, self-powered anticorrosion and antifouling systems are designed to reduce the open circuit potential of A3 steel by 510 mV and reduce the adhesion rate of algae on the surface of metal materials. This study presents a high-output, stable, coating-based TENG with potential in practical applications for anticorrosion and antifouling.
