Electrospun nanofiber based TENGs for wearable electronics and self-powered sensing

A Review of Recent Development of Wearable Triboelectric Nanogenerators Aiming at Human Clothing for Energy Conversion

“…From this point of view, electrospinning nanofibers into fabrics is an ideal method for manufacturing wearable devices. Whereas a traditional coat layer reduces the breathability of the fabric [ 24 ], the electrospinning coating has the advantage of both air permeability and flexibility, and furthermore allows the surface of the fabric to be modified so it can achieve the desired function [ 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 ].…”

Toward a new generation of permeable skin electronics

“…A large number of gas-permeable skin-mountable electronics have been developed using the electrospun nanofibre-based approach on such polymer materials. 31,73,80,81 Here, we will discuss electrospun nanofibres as the sacrificial layer and/or the support scaffold layer for preparing breathable skin-mountable electronics.…”

3D nanocrystalline metal–organic framework materials for the improved output performance of triboelectric nanogenerators

“…In recent years, triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have received considerable attention because they can reduce the energy loss of sensors and wearable power supplies, promoting the rapid development of self-powered devices. [1][2][3][4] Compared with the traditional external fixed energy devices, TENGs with lightweight and easily manufacturable characteristics based on contact electrification and electrostatic induction can effectively convert low-frequency mechanical energy (human movement, wind, and raindrops) in the environment into electrical energy. [5][6][7][8][9][10] However, their low output power density seriously hinders the wide application of TENGs.…”
