“…TEGs produce electricity by using the Seebeck effect to scavenge thermal energy caused by temperature differences between two thermoelectric (TE) materials ( Figure 2 ). This temperature differential causes charge carriers to migrate from a high-temperature TE material to a low-temperature TE material [ 77 , 78 ]. A TEG’s voltage output is proportional to the temperature gradient.…”

Natural sources of green energy include sunshine, water, biomass, geothermal heat, and wind. These energies are alternate forms of electrical energy that do not rely on fossil fuels. Green energy is environmentally benign, as it avoids the generation of greenhouse gases and pollutants. Various systems and equipment have been utilized to gather natural energy. However, most technologies need a huge amount of infrastructure and expensive equipment in order to power electronic gadgets, smart sensors, and wearable devices. Nanogenerators have recently emerged as an alternative technique for collecting energy from both natural and artificial sources, with significant benefits such as light weight, low-cost production, simple operation, easy signal processing, and low-cost materials. These nanogenerators might power electronic components and wearable devices used in a variety of applications such as telecommunications, the medical sector, the military and automotive industries, and internet of things (IoT) devices. We describe new research on the performance of nanogenerators employing several green energy acquisition processes such as piezoelectric, electromagnetic, thermoelectric, and triboelectric. Furthermore, the materials, applications, challenges, and future prospects of several nanogenerators are discussed.

power-dense, owing to their tuneable nanostructures. Hence, smaller TENGs are better suited for small form-factor applications like wearable electronics, internet of things (IoT) devices, and self-powered sensors. However, the higher complexity and cost of TENGs than TEGs inhibit their widespread adoption. This review appraises the latest advances in TENG materials, design, and fabrication in optimizing the performance of TENGs, making TENGs more viable for real-world applications. More precisely, this work examines how nanostructure engineering, nanomaterial compositing, and post-synthesis treatment approaches have enhanced the TE properties of common and promising TE materials, including tellurides, selenides, metal oxides, metal alloys, silicon, carbon nanomaterials, and organic compounds. Given that the TE material is a key component in TENGs, this review highlights how to optimize other vital parameters, including the TENG configuration, contact interface, form factor, heat sink use, and folded shape for specific applications. Lastly, critical attributes of TENGs used in wearable electronics, sensors, implantable electronics, solar energy conversion, and waste heat recovery are analyzed.

Among many chemical compounds synthesized for third-generation photovoltaic applications, quinoline derivatives have recently gained popularity. This work reviews the latest developments in the quinoline derivatives (metal complexes) for applications in the photovoltaic cells. Their properties for photovoltaic applications are detailed: absorption spectra, energy levels, and other achievements presented by the authors. We have also outlined various methods for testing the compounds for application. Finally, we present the implementation of quinoline derivatives in photovoltaic cells. Their architecture and design are described, and also, the performance for polymer solar cells and dye-synthesized solar cells was highlighted. We have described their performance and characteristics. We have also pointed out other, non-photovoltaic applications for quinoline derivatives. It has been demonstrated and described that quinoline derivatives are good materials for the emission layer of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and are also used in transistors. The compounds are also being considered as materials for biomedical applications.
