“…Over the years, significant progress has been made in developing numerous new classes of polymeric and composite polymeric materials for T.E.N.G.s. It has been observed that composite polymeric materials have yielded better output performance compared to using only polymeric materials in most cases [27,32]. Thus, it can be said that polymer-based composites hold immense potential for energy harvesting applications owing to their flexible nature, suitable voltage providing sufficient power output, lower manufacturing costs, and quick processing.…”

The field of energy harvesting is expanding to power various devices, including electric vehicles, with energy derived from their surrounding environments. The unique mechanical and electrical qualities of composite materials make them ideal for energy harvesting applications, and they have shown tremendous promise in this area. Yet additional studies are needed to fully grasp the promise of composite materials for energy harvesting in electric vehicles. This article reviews composite materials used for energy harvesting in electric vehicles, discussing mechanical characteristics, electrical conductivity, thermal stability, and cost-effectiveness. As a bonus, it delves into using composites in piezoelectric, electromagnetic, and thermoelectric energy harvesters. The high strength-to-weight ratio provided by composite materials is a major benefit for energy harvesting. Especially important in electric vehicles, where saving weight means saving money at the pump and driving farther between charges, this quality is a boon to the field. Many composite materials and their possible uses in energy harvesting systems are discussed in the article. These composites include polymer-based composites, metal-based composites, bio-waste-based hybrid composites and cement-based composites. In addition to describing the promising applications of composite materials for energy harvesting in electric vehicles, the article delves into the obstacles that must be overcome before the technology can reach its full potential. Energy harvesting devices could be more effective and reliable if composite materials were cheaper and less prone to damage. Further study is also required to determine the durability and dependability of composite materials for use in energy harvesting. However, composite materials show promise for energy harvesting in E.V.s. Further study and development are required before their full potential can be realized. This article discusses the significant challenges and potential for future research and development in composite materials for energy harvesting in electric vehicles. It thoroughly evaluates the latest advances and trends in this field.

The review highlights possible research topics matching the experimental physics of matter with advances in electronics to improve the intelligent design and control of innovative smart materials. Specifically, following the European research guidelines of Key Enabling Technologies (KETs), I propose different topics suitable for project proposals and research, including advances in nanomaterials, nanocomposite materials, nanotechnology, and artificial intelligence (AI), with a focus on electronics implementation. The paper provides a new research framework addressing the study of AI driving electronic systems and design procedures to determine the physical properties of versatile materials and to control dynamically the material’s “self-reaction” when applying external stimuli. The proposed research framework allows one to ideate new circuital solutions to be integrated in intelligent embedded systems formed of materials, algorithms and circuits. The challenge of the review is to bring together different research concepts and topics regarding innovative materials to provide a research direction for possible AI applications. The discussed research topics are classified as Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) 1 and 2.

“…Polymer fibers can be made by several techniques like electrospinning, phase separation, melt-blown, and wet spinning . Few research groups have already reported various polymeric-based TENGs such as polyamide, polyethylene, polyvinylidene fluoride, Teflon, polyvinyl chloride, polyimide, polyester, and polyurethane that have been reported for energy harvesting applications. ,, Out of them, polyurethane has an elastic property, and it can be a better choice for flexible electronics. However, limited studies have been reported on polyurethane-based TENGs, and few are shown in the Supporting Information, Table S1.…”

Nowadays, flexible triboelectric sensors are the most promising candidates for wearable energy harvesting and medical applications. In the present investigation, the self-powered flexible triboelectric sensors (SF-TESs) were fabricated by using roughness-created Ecoflex cast film and melt-blown nonwoven polyurethane layers. SF-TESs were prepared using sandpaper (60 grit size) as a substrate, showing better triboelectric performance due to high surface roughness and low density compared to others, and it is an optimum condition. The optimized SF-TES can scavenge a maximum open-circuit output voltage (V OC) and power density values for the sensor without and with a spacer were 139 V and 1.6 Wm–2 and 320 V and 6 Wm–2, respectively. The spacer sample showed 2.3 times higher V OC and 3.7 times higher power density values than without a spacer at a constant load of 4.4 N and a frequency of 5 Hz. The SF-TES can directly operate 15 light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and switch on an LCD timer, and it is powered for 5 s when connected through a rectifier and a capacitor. In contrast, the sensor with a spacer can operate more than 100 LEDs directly. Further, the triboelectric output performances V OC and short-circuit current (I SC) gradually increase from 65 to 139 V and 2.3 to 4.6 μA, respectively, when the external load increases from 2.2 to 8.8 N. Based on the above results, we can clearly say that the surface roughness, spacing between the frictional layers, and external load are critical parameters for enhancing the triboelectric performance. The as-prepared SF-TESs have potential medical applications in the intelligent beds for observing the physical activity of coma patients, patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases, and sleep apnea.
