As unique class of specialty engineering plastics, the development and applications for poly(aryl ether)s is of utmost significance in energy field due to their outstanding heat resistance and mechanical properties in highly challenging environments. Thus, In this study, fluorinated poly(aryl ether) fiber membrane (FPAE-FM) is successfully prepared by electrospinning technology. Furthermore, FPAE-FM is paired with copper to construct a vertical contact-separated triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG). The open-circuit voltage is 75 V and the short-circuit current is 3 μA. The construction of fiber increases the surface roughness of FPAE-FM, which facilitates the generation of triboelectric charges and improve the surface charge density. Furthermore, SiO2 is introduced into FPAE-FM, which not only improves the surface roughness of the fibers to a certain extent, but also builds charge trap at the interface between SiO2 and FPAE for trapping triboelectric charges, reducing the charge dissipation and increasing the volume charge density. The collective augmentation of surface charge density and volume charge density synergistically enhances the triboelectric output performance, resulting in a remarkable surge in both the open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current of TENG, reaching 147 V and 11 μA, respectively. Overall, this study provides new materials and theoretical support for exploiting TENG with high-performance.
