“…However, in the actual application process, a single sensor cannot meet the needs of multifunctional sensing in complex environments, so it is necessary to further integrate the sensor network, to achieve a full range of intelligent monitoring and sensing. [57][58][59][60] However, the current sensor network may require hundreds of or even more sensors with different functions to cooperate with each other when realizing various functions, which puts forward new requirements for the stable work of each sensor and the continuous energy supply. [61][62][63][64][65][66] Flow is an important measurement parameter in the process of industrial production.…”

With the rapid development of advanced materials and manufacturing technologies, flow sensors have made significant progress in the field of mechanical engineering, which could cater to the development trend of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the ongoing Fourth Industrial Revolution. However, traditional power supply modes such as lithium batteries require regular recharging or replacement, which greatly causes too much inconvenience and maintenance consumption, and may also pose potential risks to the marine environment. The triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), based on the coupling effect of contact electrification and electrostatic induction, have been demonstrated to convert mechanical movements of the fluid into electrical signals with various features such as flexibility, conformability, and user‐friendliness. This review systematically summarizes for the first time the fundamental working mechanism, rational structural design, and analysis of practical application scenarios of triboelectric flow sensor as an emerging technology for flow monitoring of the Industrial IoT. According to the different fluid objects monitored, the latest representative achievements of triboelectric flow sensors can be divided into gas flow sensors, liquid flow sensors, and two‐phase flow sensors. Finally, the current challenges and future development directions of triboelectric flow sensors are examined, which can promote the further development of the field of the flow sensors.

“…At present, RF communication is not widely used in a UWSNs; instead, methods such as acoustic and optical are used. Factors impacting UWSNs are highlighted in research conducted by both X. Che et al [17] and S. Ryecroft et al [18]. Some research has explored using RF at other frequencies in underwater environments, such as the work conducted by Lloret et al [19], which achieved communication at 20 cm at up to 11 Mbps using a frequency of 2.4 GHz.…”

In 2016, there were 317 serious water pollution incidents in the UK, with 78,000 locations where businesses discharge controlled quantities of pollutants into rivers; therefore, continuous monitoring is vital. Since 1998, the environment agency has taken over 50 million water samples for water quality monitoring. The Internet of Things has grown phenomenally in recent years, reaching all aspects of our lives, many of these connected devices use wireless sensor networks to relay data to internet-connected nodes, where data can be processed, analyzed and consumed. However, Underwater wireless communications rely mainly on alternative communication methods such as optical and acoustic, with radio frequencies being an under-exploited method. This research presents real world results conducted in the Leeds and Liverpool Canal for the novel use of the 433 MHz radio frequency combined with a bowtie antenna in underwater communications in raw water, achieving distances of 7 m at 1.2 kbps and 5 m at 25 kbps.

“…Environmental monitoring though the use of wireless sensor networks has been explored with requirements of such as system considered by other works [16]. With developments in the use of radio frequency communications in underwater environments [17] the feasibility of deploying a real-time monitoring system for Geosmin as well as other contaminates has significantly improved if sensor technologies can be developed to allow for continuous monitoring without the need for regents that are capable of being deployed for long periods of time without the need for maintenance.…”

Geosmin contamination in water is a leading cause of odor related complaints to water companies in UK, tainting water with an earthy smell that is detectable by humans in quantities as low as 4 nanograms per liter. Current Geosmin detection methods depend on lab-based equipment, requiring samples to be collected and transported before Geosmin can be tested. This research presents a novel method for the detection of Geosmin in water using Microwave spectroscopy capable of detecting differentiating between four levels of Geosmin contamination: 5 ng/L, 10 ng/L, 0.5 mg/L and 1 mg/L as well as control samples. Frequencies within the 5.4 GHz to 5.9, 6.4 GHz to 6.5 GHz and 7.2 GHz to 7.5 GHz ranges showed significant separation between the sample classes.
