Simultaneously harvesting mechanical and chemical energies by a hybrid cell for self-powered biosensors and personal electronics

High-performance nanopattern triboelectric generator by block copolymer lithography

“…Presently, enhancement of the output power of TENG is a crucial issue for various potential applications. In this regard, Wang et al developed a variety of concepts of large-scale TENG, which incorporated metal nanoparticles [11,[15][16][17], a 3D stacked structural design [18][19][20][21], organic polymer etching [22][23][24][25][26][27] and various surface morphologies [11,19,20,[28][29][30][31] in order to increase mechanical contact area. Block copolymer (BCP) self-assembly offers lithographic nanotemplates for next-generation lithography as a result of the microphase separation of covalently linked incompatible polymer blocks [32][33][34].…”

Hybrid nanogenerators based on triboelectrification of a dielectric composite made of lead-free ZnSnO 3 nanocubes

“…As we know, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as a polymer electret would be desirable for the fabrication of the flexible devices due to its attractive properties such as flexibility, nontoxicity, cost-effectiveness, biocompatibility and transparency [11][12][13][14]. It can be also easily made into composite film by mixing nanoparticles or other nanostructures [15,16], which has been used extensively for nanogenerators [17,18], nanodevices [19] or nanosensors [20][21][22]. On the other hand, piezoelectric materials are one of the most interesting nanomaterials adopted in the energy-harvesting area because of their efficient ferroelectric constant [23][24][25].…”

A Water‐Proof Triboelectric–Electromagnetic Hybrid Generator for Energy Harvesting in Harsh Environments

“…[30][31][32] Among these hybrid generators, the one consisting of TENG and electromagnetic generator (EMG) has been developed to effectively harvest mechanical energy. [ 19,30,33,34 ] In them, a rotation-based hybrid generator has been reported to produce a large output that can sustainably drive a commercial Packaging is a critical aspect of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) toward practical applications, since the performance of TENG is greatly affected by environmental conditions such as humidity.…”
