Abstract Working in the ambient environment, the behavior of triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is inevitably limited by the air breakdown phenomenon. In this paper, the load characteristics of TENG considering the air breakdown effect are systematically studied. The maximum retainable surface charge density varies with resistive loads, and a saturation state is seen during the capacitive charging process in the TENG due to the air breakdown effect. The optimization criterion to maximize the TENG output was also investigated with the consideration of air breakdown effect. Through theoretical analysis and experimental verification, this work provides a solid criterion to guide the TENG design and operational process.
