abstract = {The high-voltage power source is one of the important research directions of triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG). In this paper, a high-voltage output TENG (HVO-TENG) is proposed with direct current/alternating current (DC/AC) optimal combination method for wind energy harvesting. Through the optimal design of a direct current generation unit (DCGU) and an alternating current generation unit (ACGU), the HVO-TENG can produce DC voltage of 21.5 kV and AC voltage of 200 V, simultaneously. The HVO-TENG can continuously illuminate more than 6,000 light emitting diodes (LEDs), which is enough to drive more possible applications of TENG. Besides, this paper explored application experiments on HVO-TENG. Demonstrative experiments indicate that the high-voltage DC output is used for producing ozone, while the AC output can light up ultraviolet (UV) LEDs. The HVO-TENG can increase the ozone concentration (C) in an airtight container to 3 parts per million (ppm) after 7 h and continuously light up UV LEDs. All these demonstrations verify that the HVO-TENG has important guiding significance for designing high performance TENG.}
