proposed to harvest the ultrasonic wave's energy using zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowire arrays, [9] the nanogenerator has entered a period of rapid development. [10][11][12][13] Various energies have been harvested using many kinds of nanogenerators, [4] such as triboelectric nanogenerators, [13] PENGs, [14] thermal-electric nanogenerators, [15] and photoelectric nanogenerators. [16] In addition, the as-harvested energy has various resources, such as wind, [17][18][19] heat energy, [20,21] solar power, [22] vibration, [23,24] mechanical energy, [25] electromagnetic waves, [26] chemical energy, [27] and water energy. [11,28,29] Therein, the nanogengerator induced from water-flow [30][31][32][33][34] and water evaporation [29,35] is a majority part of the water energy nanogenerator. Generally, the energy-produced principle from water-flow and water evaporation could be divided into two categories according to the surface properties of the nanogenerator. On the one hand, as the ionic solution

“…Yuan et al, developed an ultra-sensitive "skinlike" sensor based on a graphene fiber mesh network that was able to monitor pressure, stretch, vibration, and bending deformation. In Gao's work, [126] a CNTs/PU conductive paste was screenprinted onto nylon fabric and then covered with a positive triboelectric silk fabric layer to form a single-electrode mode [141] selfpowered touch/gesture triboelectric sensors. The GSMN fiber can stretch up to 400% and this high elasticity and elongation can be attributed to the unique spring-like mesh network.…”

This review provides an overview of the current state‐of‐the‐art of the emerging field of flexible multifunctional sensors for wearable and robotic applications. In these application sectors, there is a demand for high sensitivity, accuracy, reproducibility, mechanical flexibility, and low cost. The ability to empower robots and future electronic skin (e‐skin) with high resolution, high sensitivity, and rapid response sensing capabilities is of interest to a broad range of applications including wearable healthcare devices, biomedical prosthesis, and human–machine interacting robots such as service robots for the elderly and electronic skin to provide a range of diagnostic and monitoring capabilities. A range of sensory mechanisms is examined including piezoelectric, pyroelectric, piezoresistive, and there is particular emphasis on hybrid sensors that provide multifunctional sensing capability. As an alternative to the physical sensors described above, optical sensors have the potential to be used as a robot or e‐skin; this includes sensory color changes using photonic crystals, liquid crystals, and mechanochromic effects. Potential future areas of research are discussed and the challenge for these exciting materials is to enhance their integration into wearables and robotic applications.

“…[6] The idea of power generation through triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) was first introduced by Zhong Lin Wang in 2012 to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy by a conjunction of tribo-electrification and electrostatic induction. [20] They showed that various designs of TENG efficiently harvested low-frequency water wave. [6] In addition, TENGs work at low frequency in the range from 5 to 10 Hz that make them unique choice for harvesting low-frequency energy from body motion to ocean wave.…”

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) can harvest mechanical energy through coupling triboelectric effect and electrostatic induction. Typically, TENGs consist of organic materials, however on account of the potentially wide range of applications of TENGs as the self-powered portable/wearable electronics, biomedical devices, and sensors; semiconductor metal oxide materials can be promising candidates to be incorporating in TENG structure. Here, flexible TENG based on self-organized TiO 2 nanotube arrays (TNTAs) is fabricated via anodization method. The introduced flexible large area nanotubular electrode is employed as the moving electrode in contact with Kapton film in vertical contact separation mode of TENG. The fabricated TENG can deliver output voltage of 40 V with the current density of 1 μA cm À2 . To evaluate the role of nanostructured interface, its performance has been compared to the thin film flat compact TiO 2 electrode. The results of extracted charge measurements under short circuit condition indicate that larger triboelectric charge density formed in TNTA-based electrode (about 110 nC per cycle of press and release) is in comparison to 15 nC in flat TiO 2 electrode. Due to the extensive range of applications of TiO 2 , the introduced structure can potentially be applicable in various types of self-powered systems such as photo-detectors and environmental gas and bio-sensors.
