“…Through a three-dimensional five-directional braided structure, a 3D braided TENG was designed to improve the output and sensing capability of the triboelectric sensor. Zhang et al [ 27 ] used silver nanowires and PDMS to make a contact-separated TENG with a mechanoluminescent layer, proposing a self-powered triboelectric-mechanoluminescent electronic skin (STMES) that can detect human mechanical motion using electrical and optical signals without additional power supply (Fig. 2 b).…”

With the growing concern about human health issues, especially during the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for personalized healthcare regarding disease prevention and recovery is increasing. However, tremendous challenges lie in both limited public medical resources and costly medical diagnosis approaches. Recently, skin-attachable sensors have emerged as promising health monitoring platforms to overcome such difficulties. Owing to the advantages of good comfort and high signal-to-noise ratio, skin-attachable sensors enable household, real-time, and long-term detection of weak physiological signals to efficiently and accurately monitor human motion, heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, lung and heart sound, glucose, and biomarkers in biomedical applications. To further improve the integration level of biomedical skin-attachable sensors, efforts have been made in combining multiple sensing techniques with elaborate structural designs. This review summarizes the recent advances in different functional skin-attachable sensors, which monitor physical and chemical indicators of the human body. The advantages, shortcomings, and integration strategies of different mechanisms are presented. Specially, we highlight sensors monitoring pulmonary function such as respiratory rate and blood oxygen saturation for their potential usage in the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, the future development of skin-attachable sensors is envisioned.

“…With the continuous exploration of energy, the deepening of research level, and the enrichment of research content, a series of new energy technologies such as wind power generation, solar power generation, and controllable nuclear fusion have been studied. − However, when people try to find reliable and safe energy sources in the outside world, they ignore that humans themselves can be used as a natural energy source. , Hence, in order to solve this problem, more and more researchers continue to pay attention to the low-frequency energy that is closely related to human life and even neglected by human beings. Triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) technology has been successfully used to harvest and harness this weak energy. − At the same time, compared with traditional energy sources, TENGs have the advantages of efficient utilization of low-frequency energy, diversity of materials, a high safety factor, and wide energy sources. − It can not only reduce environmental pollution but also alleviate the energy crisis to a large extent. , In addition, due to the increasing demand for wearable electronic devices, TENGs have great application prospects in human–computer interaction, electronic skin, and digital medicine …”

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) as self-powered sensing devices have attracted extensive interest in the field of flexible wearable electronics. Endowing TENGs with excellent environmental adaptability and high sensitivity is considered to be one of the promising strategies to satisfy future intelligent electronic sensing devices. The interference of a humid environment and common bare electrode has been a great hindrance to the output performance of TENGs. In this paper, a core−shell superhydrophobic and flexible triboelectric nanogenerator (abbreviated as PP/AgH-TENG) was prepared based on a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) film surface modified with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) particles as the triboelectric layer and AgNWs/PVA hydrogel as the electrode. The obtained PP/AgH-TENG (4 × 4 cm 2 area) can easily light about 360 commercial LED lights with a maximum power density of 3.07 W/m 2 by tapping. It is important that PP/AgH-TENG can overcome the effect of water molecules on charge transfer in a humid environment and quickly recover and maintain a high output. In addition, the bracelet made of PP/AgH-TENG can collect the mechanical energy generated by human movement, and these output performance curves clearly reflect the state of human movement. This research has great application potential in the field of intelligent wearable selfpowered sensing.

Wearable portable electronic devices have become an indispensable part of the modern lifestyle because of their smart, convenient, and fashionable features. Fiber-based nanogenerators are generally used as energy supply systems in wearable portable electronic devices. In the present work, poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) were used in triboelectric layers of hybrid tribopiezoelectric nanogenerators (HNGs). Twodimensional MXenes and one-dimensional multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-COOH) were used as conductive nanofillers introduced into electrospun nanofiber membranes. A 132fold increase in the electrical power density of a PVDF nanofiberbased piezoelectric nanogenerator was observed under the synergistic effect of MXenes and MWCNTs-COOH. Finiteelement simulations were performed to determine the optimum values of the triboelectric layer thickness and spacing for HNGs, and an MXenes/MWCNTs-COOH/PVDF-PPLA-based HNG with a power density of 18.08 W m −2 was constructed. We present a series of elaborations to demonstrate an effective way to improve the output performance of tribopiezoelectric nanogenerators. In addition, an HNGs-based wearable portable electronic device was fabricated to help humans interact with virtual reality.
