Real-time detection and experimental study of microplastics based on friction nanogenerator

This paper proposes a real-time and rapid detection method and device for detecting the size and abundance of microplastic particles by discontinuous liquid column, using the TENG technology based on self-powered. Through experimental tests, the size and morphology characterization of microplastics and the real-time and efficient detection of chemical element composition are completed. The study deduces that, when the micro-plastic particles are added into the deionized water, the Zeta potential in the solution is reduced, and the direction of the polarization of the electric field on the surface of the pipe wall is changed. In addition, with the increase of the diameter or abundance of microplastic particles in the aqueous solution, the output voltages show a decreasing trend. The output voltages is reduced by 43.1% at 50 μm and by 79.6% at 0.250%. Moreover, the micro-plastic particles have a significant impact on the output voltages of tap water. Considering 10 μm microplastic particles as example, the output voltages are reduced by 20%. This proves the feasibility of the TENG technology for the detection of marine microplastics.
