Abstract: Graphene has emerged as a promising nanofiller for enhancing charge density in natural polysaccharide-based triboelectric materials. However, the practical implementation is constrained by the interlayer aggregation induced by van der Waals forces, which significantly impede interfacial polarization. Herein, lignin-intercalated multilayer graphene has been strategically employed as a functional nanofiller in carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)-based triboelectric materials, demonstrating enhanced interfacial polarization dynamics through effective suppression of van der Waals-driven interlayer aggregation. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirm a stronger binding affinity of sodium lignosulfonate (LS) to multilayer graphene (MG, E bind = −3.478 eV) than interlayer graphene-graphene interactions (E bind = −0.025 eV), driving spontaneous intercalation that disrupts π-π stacking. This nanoscale dispersion amplifying interfacial polarization at the MG/CMC heterointerface, thereby boosting the storage of triboelectric charge. Correspondingly, the dielectric constant was increased from 0.45 for CMC to 4.25 for carboxymethylcellulose/sodium lignosulfonate/multilayer graphene (CLM). The optimized CLM-triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) delivered the triboelectric charge density of 5.8 nC cm−2, a 205 % increase over pristine CMC-TENG (1.9 nC cm−2). Upon performing over 40,000 cycles at 1 Hz, the CLM-TENG delivered stable output signals. Additionally, the flexible CLM-TENG harvests mechanical vibrations during fruit transportation, converting them into real-time electrical signals to alert drivers of excessive vibrations, reducing mechanical damage of fruits. Aligned with green recycling, the material retains functionality after six dissolution-regeneration cycles, ensuring reusability. [Display omitted] • Sodium lignosulfonate (LS) was intercalated into multilayer graphene (MG). • The binding energy of LS/MG is larger than that of MG/MG. • The dielectric constant of CMC film by 8 times after introducing SL/MG. • Compared to the CMC film, the V OC of the optimized CLM sample was increased 350 %. • The optimized device can be applied to monitor fruit collisions.
