“…The experimental study showed a constant voltage of 5 V even after 3000 working cycles; hence it can be applied in self-powered sensors. The authors [140] proposed an on-vehicle magnetic triboelectric nanogenerator mounted on the wheel hub of a tire for self-powered tire pressure monitoring sensors, barometric pressure sensor, and wireless sensor nodes. This type of TENG can deliver an open circuit voltage of 316 V at the rotation speed of 100 rpm.…”

A sustainable power source to meet the needs of energy requirement is very much essential in modern society as the conventional sources are depleting. Bioenergy, hydropower, solar, and wind are some of the well-established renewable energy sources that help to attain the need for energy at mega to gigawatts power scale. Nanogenerators based on nano energy are the growing technology that facilitate self-powered systems, sensors, and flexible and portable electronics in the booming era of IoT (Internet of Things). The nanogenerators can harvest small-scale energy from the ambient nature and surroundings for efficient utilization. The nanogenerators were based on piezo, tribo, and pyroelectric effect, and the first of its kind was developed in the year 2006 by Wang et al. The invention of nanogenerators is a breakthrough in the field of ambient energy-harvesting techniques as they are lightweight, easily fabricated, sustainable, and care-free systems. In this paper, a comprehensive review on fundamentals, performance, recent developments, and application of nanogenerators in self-powered sensors, wind energy harvesting, blue energy harvesting, and its integration with solar photovoltaics are discussed. Finally, the outlook and challenges in the growth of this technology are also outlined.

“…First, TENG can be utilized as a power source of some gas sensors. In Figure 17a, a TENG is used to power a chemoresistive gas sensor based on zinc oxide-reduced graphene oxide (ZnO-RGO) hybrid films to detect the concentration of NO 2 [179]. The self-powered triboelectric gas sensor composed of ZnO-RGO composite films exhibit superior response (~16.8), sensitivity, and selectivity to that of a pure ZnO film.…”

“…The silica-based tread compound sharply cuts off the rolling resistance, provides all-around traction without compromising braking, improves fuel efficiency, and reduces CO 2 emissions. The on-vehicle magnetic TENG shown in Figure 18d is also designed to scavenge tire rotating energy and serve as a direct power source for a pressure sensor [179]. TENG has also been used to power a commercial wireless sensor for transmitting real-time temperature data to a receiver.…”

Sensor networks are essential for the development of the Internet of Things and the smart city. A general sensor, especially a mobile sensor, has to be driven by a power unit. When considering the high mobility, wide distribution and wireless operation of the sensors, their sustainable operation remains a critical challenge owing to the limited lifetime of an energy storage unit. In 2006, Wang proposed the concept of self-powered sensors/system, which harvests ambient energy to continuously drive a sensor without the use of an external power source. Based on the piezoelectric nanogenerator (PENG) and triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG), extensive studies have focused on self-powered sensors. TENG and PENG, as effective mechanical-to-electricity energy conversion technologies, have been used not only as power sources but also as active sensing devices in many application fields, including physical sensors, wearable devices, biomedical and health care, human–machine interface, chemical and environmental monitoring, smart traffic, smart cities, robotics, and fiber and fabric sensors. In this review, we systematically summarize the progress made by TENG and PENG in those application fields. A perspective will be given about the future of self-powered sensors.

“…Recently, there is a growing demand for flexible and lightweight pressure sensors, requiring the development or utilization of new technologies. [ 1–3 ] Extensive research has been undertaken to obtain robust pressure sensors for wearable devices, [ 4,5 ] human–machine interactions, [ 6 ] environmental monitoring systems, [ 7 ] and electronic and marine skin applications. [ 8 ] In the past few years, pressure sensors based on nanostructured materials, including metal nanowires, [ 9 ] carbon nanotubes, [ 10 ] and ZnO nanowire arrays, [ 11 ] have been explored based on a range of mechanism types such as capacitive, piezoelectric, triboelectric, and piezophototronic.…”

While the outstanding properties of graphene have attracted a lot of attention, one of the major bottlenecks of its widespread usage is its availability in large volumes. Laser printing graphene on polyimide films is an efficient single‐step fabrication process that can remedy this issue. A laser‐printed, flexible pressure sensor is developed utilizing the piezoresistive effect of 3D porous graphene. The pressure sensors performance can be easily adjusted via the geometrical parameters. They have a sensitivity in the range of 1.23 × 10−3 kPa and feature a high resolution with a detection limit of 10 Pa in combination with an extremely wide dynamic range of at least 20 MPa. They also provide excellent long‐term stability of at least 15 000 cycles. The biocompatibility of laser‐induced graphene is also evaluated by cytotoxicity assays and fluorescent staining, which show an insignificant drop in viability. Polymethyl methacrylate coating is particularly useful for underwater applications, protecting the sensors from biofouling and shunt currents, and enable operation at a depth of 2 km in highly saline Red Sea water. Due to its features, the sensors are a prime choice for multiple healthcare applications; for example, they are used for heart rate monitoring, plantar pressure measurements, and tactile sensing.
