In this work we investigate the triboelectric properties of Carbon Quantum Dots (CQDs) films for potential application in triboelectric generators.CQDs were deposited on silicon wafers, using spin on techniques.Device performance was estimated in sliding mode experiments, where Wooden Dollhouse Accessories the CQDs-surface was sliding on top of a flexible substrate.The triboelectric signal as well as the Slot Car charging of capacitors, after signal rectification, was monitored as a function of time.

Our results indicate that surface roughness plays a very important role in the triboelectric signal and could compensate opposite trends due to other parameters, such as the dielectric film thickness.
