Progress in advanced electronics has initiated the investigation of new ways to develop and apply self‐powered smart devices. The concern for meteoric exhausting non‐renewable energy sources has spurred such endeavors. Even so, using external power sources like batteries is problematic due to limited capacity, maintenance inconvenience, replacement, and environmental hazards. Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) capable of converting various forms of mechanical energies into electrical output are gaining popularity. The marine and coastal areas are abundant sources of salvable mechanical energy. TENGs can convert lower‐frequency, ununiform, multidirectional energies into usable electricity. This can solve the device‐powering problem and can generate diverse signals to act as monitoring or sensing platforms themselves. In this review, three main TENG‐based/TENG‐driven application themes are addressed, i.e., energy harvesting, marine environment monitoring, and self‐powered equipment for marine‐related activities. It attempts to emphasize that various design features of TENGs can influence output performance; TENGs can power devices and monitor ocean parameters; TENGs‐integrated modern IoT networking systems can transmit real‐time data. Overall, this review encompasses the fundamental working mechanisms, structure designs, and practical implementation scenarios of recently developed devices in diverse marine applications. Finally, the existing challenges and potential future directions for TENG‐based marine self‐powered electronic systems are discussed.

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), as a novel energy harvesting technology, have attracted increasing attention. This review paper focuses on the application of TENGs in flow energy harvesting and self‐powered flow sensing systems, as well as the latest research progress in this field. First, the working principle of TENG is introduced in detail, including the electrification mechanism and four basic working modes. Subsequently, the common applications of TENG‐based flow energy harvesting are systematically classified and summarized. In addition, the designs and principles for harnessing wind energy, wave energy, water flow energy, and droplet energy are illustrated individually. Furthermore, the common applications of TENG in flow sensing are elucidated, involving flow velocity and direction, flow rate measurement, respiration monitoring, water level, and wave motion monitoring. Finally, the current challenges in this field, such as the stability of TENG performance, scalability and integration, environmental impact and durability, etc., are discussed and future research directions, such as developing new TENG materials and designing more high‐efficiency TENG structure, are proposed. It is hoped that this review paper can actively promote the research and application of TENGs and contribute to the development of this field.

A High Performance Triboelectric Nanogenerator Based on MXene/Graphene Oxide Electrode for Glucose Detection

et al. 2023

A smart sensing platform based on a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) possesses various advantages such as self-powering, convenience, real-time and biocompatibility. However, the detection limit of the TENG-based sensor is required to be improved. In this study, a high performance TENG-based glucose sensor was proposed by using the Ti3C2Tx (MXene)/graphene oxide (GO) composite electrode. The MXene and GO nanosheets are popular 2D materials which possessed high conductivity and a rich surface functional group. The MXene/GO thin films were prepared through electrostatic self-assembly technology, which can effectively impede the agglomeration of two nanoflakes. The as-prepared MXene/GO film presented outstanding mechanical property. To figure out the relationship between the nanostructure of MXene/GO film and the TENG, a series of MXene/GO-based TENG with different GO sizes was characterized. As a result, the TENG with 400 nm GO demonstrated the highest output performance. Subsequently, the optimized TENG was used in glucose detection application without the assistance of a glucose enzyme. This simple and flexible TENG shows promising potential in biosensors and non-invasive health monitoring.
