“…Although great progress has been made by those methods, there is still room for improvement. − For example, the charge pumping technology emerging recently can bring the TENG further improved output performance through breaking the bottleneck of charge density enhancement . In general charge pumping design, there is usually a main TENG and a pump TENG (Sub-TENG) with different functions, namely the pump TENG generates charges while the main TENG stores and releases charges. , Accordingly, the basic working principle is that injected charges from the pump TENG unidirectionally flow into the main TENG to elevate its charge density, increasing the number of flowing and transferring charges within one motion cycle for a larger electricity output. − …”

Serious climate changes and energy-related environmental problems are currently critical issues in the world. In order to reduce carbon emissions and save our environment, renewable energy harvesting technologies will serve as a key solution in the near future. Among them, triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), which is one of the most promising mechanical energy harvesters by means of contact electrification phenomenon, are explosively developing due to abundant wasting mechanical energy sources and a number of superior advantages in a wide availability and selection of materials, relatively simple device configurations, and low-cost processing. Significant experimental and theoretical efforts have been achieved toward understanding fundamental behaviors and a wide range of demonstrations since its report in 2012. As a result, considerable technological advancement has been exhibited and it advances the timeline of achievement in the proposed roadmap. Now, the technology has reached the stage of prototype development with verification of performance beyond the lab scale environment toward its commercialization. In this review, distinguished authors in the world worked together to summarize the state of the art in theory, materials, devices, systems, circuits, and applications in TENG fields. The great research achievements of researchers in this field around the world over the past decade are expected to play a major role in coming to fruition of unexpectedly accelerated technological advances over the next decade.

“…Since the TENG was proposed in 2012 (figure 2(b)), its development has attracted extensive attention from researchers [13]. Relying on the triboelectrification between different materials, TENG devices can readily convert mechanical energy into electrical energy to drive small electronic devices, thus exhibiting sophisticated applications in self-powered systems, such as in environmental monitoring and medical science [35]. In 2014, Zhang et al first proposed to use the potential difference between TENG friction materials as a gate signal to tune/control the carrier transport characteristics in FETs (figure 2(c)), and the effect was the same as the applied conventional gate voltage [24].…”

Since the discovery of graphene, 2D materials have been widely applied to field-effect transistors (FETs) due to their great potential in optoelectronics, photodetectors, intelligent sensors, and neuromorphic devices. By integrating 2D transistor with triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) into tribotronic transistor, the induced triboelectric potential can readily regulate the charge carrier transport characteristics in semiconductor channel. The emerging research field of tribotronics (mainly tribotronic transistors) has gained extensive attentions due to their significant applications on various sensation and human-machine interaction. Here, this review summarizes the recent development of 2D tribotronic transistors. Firstly, the electrical, optoelectronic, and piezoelectric properties of typical 2D materials are introduced. Then, the tribotronic tuning at the micro/nano-scale is raised with the methodologies of thermionic emission, triboelectricity tunneling, and atomic force microscope (AFM) probe scanning, which is of great significance to investigate the underlying mechanism of tribotronic effect. In addition, the macro-scale tribotronic regulation via TENG mechanical displacement are also discussed in detail to explore the applications of 2D tribotronic transistors in intelligent sensors, logic devices, memory devices, and artificial synapses. Finally, the challenges and perspectives for 2D tribotronic transistor are discussed.
