The rapid advancement in electronic devices and miniaturisation leads to the development of portable and wearable electronic devices for various day-to-day activities. Wearable technology has been rapidly expanding all over the globe due to its flexibility, sensitivity, durability, and multifunctionality as its desirable features. Most of the devices have a higher-end application such as robotics and gesture recognition integrated with artificial intelligence. In this work we propose a Flexion based Triboelectric nanogenerator (F-TENG), which scavenges the mechanical motion of the human finger joints and converts into an electrical signal that can be further programmed using a microcontroller to actuate robotic devices, giving a deeper insight towards self-powered robotic and gesture monitoring applications. The TENG device consists of silicone elastomer as the sensing layer onto which an aluminium electrode is embedded, which enhances the flow of charges between the skin and elastomer and works on the principle of single electrode mode contact electrification. This mode of designing a finger motion sensor is a cost-effective approach, with simple and easy fabrication. The device generates a maximum voltage of ~75 V and ~9 µA current with high power density. The performance analysis proves that F-TENG can serve as a potential candidate for acquiring the joint signals leading to a world of automation.

“…Therefore, according to the triboelectric sequence table, we selected the most common PA, PVC, and PE plastics as raw materials for the production of TENGs to produce PA-PVC-TENG, PA-PE-TENG, and PVC-PE-TENG. The production process is simple, the raw materials are abundant, and the production cost is very low, which is conducive to mass production. − In addition, we conducted a series of output performance tests on the fabricated TENGs. The impact force is provided by a linear motor (OPG ZWF), the size of which is measured using a commercial force sensor (501F01, YMC) and is installed in the moving part of the linear motor.…”

Tens of thousands of plastics produced by people have caused incalculable harm to the environment. At the same time, the consumption of energy is becoming more and more serious, and the use of fossil energy to generate electricity has caused further damage to the environment. It is a good way to recycle waste plastics and make energy collection and generation devices based on them. Here, a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) based entirely on waste plastic bags is proposed. Three types of TENGs, PA-PVC-TENG, PA-PE-TENG, and PVC-PE-TENG, were fabricated by selecting the most common PA, PVC, and PE plastic films as the triboelectric layer. The output performance was improved by gilding the back of the plastic films as a conductive electrode. Under different conditions, three different types of TENGs were tested. The PA-PVC-TENG was found to show the best output performance with an open-circuit voltage of 35.7 V, a short-circuit current of 5.85 μA, and a maximum output power density of 152.6 mW/m2. After further integration with supercapacitors, the integrated system can drive multiple commercial LEDs, and it can be used as an antitheft device to achieve early warning. This study realizes the integration of a TENG and energy storage devices, and as a TENG is based entirely on waste plastic bags, it not only realizes the recycling of plastics but also further realizes power generation, which can alleviate energy consumption to some extent.

[85][86][87][88]90,92,93,190,191 A few researchers use tire-adaptable mechanical energy harvesting system based on TENGs for tire systems. 190 For instance, Seung et al produced a textile-based tire cord NG with a maximum power of 0.5 mW, which could charge a capacitor to operate a wireless speed sensor without using external power.…”
