“…Integrating solar cells (SCs) with individual or multiple NGs is the most used methodology, such as SCs-PENG, SCs-TENG, SCs-PyENG, SCs-PENG-PyENG, SCs-TENG-PENG. [19][20][21][22][23][24] However, such integrated energy harvesting modules are simply physical stacks of different devices, the necessary external circuit (e.g., wires, rectifier, etc.) and redundant interface connections complicate the device structure and increase overall size/weight, which creates obstacles to device miniaturization and portability.…”

Enormous efforts are invested in developing multi‐energy harvesting technology with simple configuration and high conversion efficiency, and light‐assisted nanogenerators are considered a promising solution. Multifunctional perovskites are explored for this light‐assisted nanogenerator, owing to its powerful platform characteristics for integrating multiple energy conversion mechanisms and multi‐effects coupling phenomenon. Therefore, with the rapid progress of this emerging field, a timely and comprehensive review of this light‐assisted nanogenerator is urgently needed for updating the fundamental understanding of coupling mechanism and material‐device‐performance relationship. In this review, recent advancements of the perovskite light‐assisted nanogenerator with their advanced designs are presented. First, the fundamental properties co‐existing in perovskites are briefly introduced, as well as some emerging effects (e.g., flexoelectric). Subsequently, the further coupling mechanism between photovoltaic effect and other energy conversion effects in different light‐assisted nanogenerator are discussed in categories. And the output characteristics and potential application of various coupled devices are systematically described from the perspective of perovskites selection and device engineering. Finally, some perspectives on existing challenges and further development for light‐assisted nanogenerator are put forward, with the aim to provide useful guidance for the design of advanced devices.

Energy harvesting plays a crucial role in modern society. In the past years, solar energy, owing to its renewable, green, and infinite attributes, has attracted increasing attention across a broad range of applications from small-scale wearable electronics to large-scale energy powering. However, the utility of solar cells in providing a stable power supply for various electrical appliances in practical applications is restricted by weather conditions. To address this issue, researchers have made many efforts to integrate solar cells with other types of energy harvesters, thus developing hybrid energy harvesters (HEHs), which can harvest energy from the ambient environment via different working mechanisms. In this review, four categories of energy harvesters including solar cells, triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs), and thermoelectric generators (TEGs) are introduced. In addition, we systematically summarize the recent progress in solar cell-based hybrid energy harvesters (SCHEHs) with a focus on their structure designs and the corresponding applications. Three hybridization designs through unique combinations of TENG, PENG, and TEG with solar cells are elaborated in detail. Finally, the main challenges and perspectives for the future development of SCHEHs are discussed.

“…Wang et al reported the first experimental study for the piezoelectric performance of monolayer MoS 2 and showed a voltage output of 15 mV, current output of 20 pA and power density of 2 mW·m −2 under bending of 0.53% [ 16 ]. Nanogenerators have grown rapidly in recent years, but must rely on friction or moving components [ 17 ]. Photovoltaics and nanogenerators are promising, but constrained by illumination conditions and sustained activation; thus, they are inappropriate for long-term epidermal sensors.…”

This paper, for the first time, reports an electrically inspired flexible electrochemical film power supply for long-term epidermal sensors. This device can periodically provide electrical power for several hours after a short-time electrical activation. The electrical activation makes acetylcholine, which is infused into the subcutaneous tissue by iontophoresis. The interstitial fluid (ISF) with glucose molecules is then permeated autonomously for several hours. At this period, the device can provide electrical power. The electrical power is generated from the catalyzing reaction between the glucose oxidase immobilized on the anode and the permeated glucose molecules. After the ISF permeation stops, we give a short-time electrical activation to provide electrical power for several hours again. The power supply is flexible, which makes it adaptively conform to skin. The episodic short-time electrical activation can be enabled by an integrated small film lithium-ion battery. This method extends the service life of a lithium-ion battery 10-fold and suggests the application of small lithium-ion batteries for long-term epidermal sensors.
