“…Electrostatic charges induced on the back-electrodes further generate a potential drop, driving electrons to flow between the two electrodes [25] . Taking four operation modes of TENG into account, lateral sliding and freestanding modes require an additional surface modification such as superhydrophobicity for fluid-based TENGs [44] . It is arising from the fact that the higher the surface hydrophobicity, the larger the effective contact area with the analyte; subsequently, the superior the triboelectric outputs.…”

“…Recent studies [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ] have described nanogenerators capable of harvesting green energy by several transduction methods such as the piezoelectric, triboelectric, electromagnetic, and thermoelectric effects. The nanogenerators can harvest green energy from natural and artificial sources from wind, water, thermal, solar, mechanical vibrations, and motions of the human body [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ]. These nanogenerators have unique features such as light weight, low-cost fabrication, tiny size, simple performance and signal processing, high power density, and a longer lifetime when compared to conventional batteries.…”

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.

“…In particular, numerous fluid-based triboelectric nanogenerators (FluTENGs) have been developed to harvest fluid flow energy, including airflow and water-flow energies [16][17][18]. Notably, FluTENGs relying on water-based CE have been demonstrated as a new approach for harvesting low-frequency and small-scale energy from moving water, such as waterdrops/raindrops [19][20][21][22], water streams [23][24][25], and water waves energies [26][27][28].…”

This study aimed to develop a simple but effective mechanical-to-electrical energy conversion for harvesting hydrokinetic energy based on triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) technology. Here, a direct-current fluid-flow-based TENG is reported as a potential solution to solve the inconvenience of directly powering electronic devices where direct-current (DC) power is required. The falling of a water droplet (about 1.06 mL) from an elastomeric pipe can generate an open-circuit voltage of ~35 V, short-circuit current of 3.7 µA, and peak power of 57.6 µW by passing through a separated electrode. Notably, the electrical responses have the distinct characteristics of pulsed direct current. The ability to generate DC outputs enables the TENG to directly drive electronic devices. Our experimental results prove that this TENG can act as a power source to directly light up 50 light-emitting diodes without requiring a rectifier, and, also, the produced electric energy was demonstrated that can be stored directly in a capacitor to power commercial temperature and humidity IoT sensors. Furthermore, the device shows a greatly varied output voltage based on the droplet flow rate, with a linearity R2 = 0.998. This work highlights a promising potential for applications in harvesting hydrokinetic energy and self-powered sensors and systems.
