As the world is marching into the era of the internet of things (IoTs) and artificial intelligence, the most vital development for hardware is a multifunctional array of sensing systems, which forms the foundation of the fourth industrial revolution toward an intelligent world. Given the need for mobility of these multitudes of sensors, the success of the IoTs calls for distributed energy sources, which can be provided by solar, thermal, wind, and mechanical triggering/vibrations. The triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) for mechanical energy harvesting developed by Z.L. Wang's group is one of the best choices for this energy for the new era, since triboelectrification is a universal and ubiquitous effect with an abundant choice of materials. The development of self‐powered active sensors enabled by TENGs is revolutionary compared to externally powered passive sensors, similar to the advance from wired to wireless communication. In this paper, the fundamental theory, experiments, and applications of TENGs are reviewed as a foundation of the energy for the new era with four major application fields: micro/nano power sources, self‐powered sensors, large‐scale blue energy, and direct high‐voltage power sources. A roadmap is proposed for the research and commercialization of TENG in the next 10 years.

“…For the first time, we are proposing a new intermediate auxetic element for boosting the vibration energy extraction efficiency specifically for the bending applications. We show that this new adapter can increase the efficiency of the energy harvesting system by a factor of more than 5 at the low-frequency range (10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20). This novel concept allows us to use cantilever type resonators at frequencies much lower than their resonant frequencies.…”

Enhancement of piezoelectric vibration energy harvesting with auxetic boosters

2019

This paper proposes a new concept to enhance the efficiency of the vibration energy harvesting via an intermediate booster. The boosters have auxetic struc-tures and exert extra stretching strain in two perpendicular directions. The concept is tested on a conventional cantilever beam under the base excitation. The problem consists of a cantilever beam subjected to a body load at low frequencies. An auxetic substrate is bonded to the beam with a thin epoxy layer, and the piezoelectric (PZT) element is attached on top of it. Two different auxetic structures are investigated in this study. It is shown that employing these kinds of boosters can remarkably enhance the performance of the energy harvesting system. The harvesting efficiency is numerically evaluated in different load amplitudes and frequencies. A parametric study is then carried out, and effects of different geometrical design parameters of the auxetic boosters on the performance of the energy harvesting system are investigated. Comparing with the case in which the PZT is straightly attached to the cantilever, it is shown that adding such intermediate boosters at low-frequency range can increase the extracted power by factors of 3.9 and 7.0 for the two proposed geometries.

The use of such sensors will make it possible to more effectively monitor toxic and explosive gases in transport, industrial plants and thermal power plants, inaccessible places (mines, caves), thereby reducing risks for workers and the public [2][3][4][5].…”

Abstract. Cd-containing PAN films with modifying additive CdCl2 have been fabricated by pyrolysis under the influence of incoherent infrared radiation under low vacuum conditions using different temperature and time of heat treatment. The influence of modifying additive concentration and of technological conditions on the films electrical and gas sensitive properties have been investigated. AFM-investigation of the films surface morphology has been fulfilled. The technological conditions for the formation process of the sensitive layer material for hydrogen sulphide sensor have been revealed experimentally.
