The advancement of highly efficient and cost-effective electrocatalysts for electrochemical water splitting, along with the development triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), is crucial sustainable energy generation harvesting. In this study, a novel hybrid composite by integrating graphitic carbon nitride (GCN) an earth-abundant FeMg-layered double hydroxide (LDH) (GCN@FeMg-LDH) was synthesized hydrothermal approach. Under controlled conditions, optimized concentrations metal ions GCN, fabricated electrode, GCN@FeMg-LDH demonstrated remarkably low overpotentials 0.018 0.284 V 0.101 0.365 at 10 600 mA/cm2 toward hydrogen evolution (HER) oxygen (OER) reactions, respectively, in 1.0 M KOH. Furthermore, we leveraged potential to develop high-performance TENG suitable practical electronic applications. resulting GCN@FeMg-LDH-based device, sized 3 × 4 cm2, substantial current output 52 μA voltage 771 V. Notably, device exhibited instantaneous power 5780 μW exceptional stability, enduring over 15 000 cycles. Thus, study concludes that emerges as superior candidate applications splitting TENGs, exhibiting significant promise advancing clean technologies, addition lowering greenhouse gas emissions.
