Diverse triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have been extensively applied in selfâpowered wearable electronics. The TENGâbased demonstration using the human body as a triboelectric material is rare, though wearable electronics plays a more and more pivotal role in portable intelligent medicine. Human hair, as part of the human body, can be a component of a TENGâbased wearable system. Herein, a novel bodyâbased TENG configuration made of human hair and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)âcoated carbon cloth is proposed. Due to triboelectrification between the hair and the PDMS layer, the output voltage can deliver 1.713 and 0.377âV in the vertical contactâseparation mode and sliding mode, respectively. In addition, a selfâpowered application based on the hairâbased TENG for actively monitoring the motion state by comparing the amplitude and frequency of the output voltages is successfully demonstrated. This study broadens the application of bodyâbased TENGs and provides a promising and feasible strategy for developing smart health monitoring.
