“…TENGs operate on the combined effect of contact electrification and electrostatic induction, and this process can occur between two materials. As a result, multiple research groups have investigated various materials, including polymers, fabrics, self-assembled materials, metal oxides, metals, sulfides, metal–organic frameworks, covalent organic frames works, graphene, and MXene materials, to improve the power density of TENGs. − The power density of the TENG is mainly enhanced by (a) careful selection of frictional layer (materials) with a significant difference in their work function and (b) physical and chemical surface modification of frictional layers. The literature review of different materials-based TENGs and their performance is presented in Supporting Information Table S2.…”

Exploring different types of materials in triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) research remains a dynamic and evolving field. This work marks an important milestone in this journey by introducing phosphor material, particularly zinc vanadate (Zn 3 V 2 O 8 , ZVO), into TENG technology for the first time. TENG uses ZVO and silicone films as active triboelectric layers. The fabricated TENG exhibits remarkable performance, producing an output voltage of 515 V and a current of 178 μA, resulting in an impressive power density of 6.9 W/m 2 . Furthermore, we demonstrate the practicality of this innovation by powering 360 series-connected LEDs and electroluminescent devices with a simple hand tap. In addition, the luminescence properties of ZVO are also investigated. This research work opens up possibilities for multifunctional applications, harnessing the potential of phosphor materials for energy harvesting and beyond.

In this study, a novel and sustainable triboelectric material is successfully designed and developed by extracting keratin from recycled fur and combining it with chitosan to create a keratin/chitosan triboelectric nanogenerator (CK‐TENG) device. The device is designed for the simultaneous treatment of waste and the generation of green and clean energy, crucial for addressing global challenges. CK is prepared through a freeze‐drying method to overcome the weak mechanical properties of keratin and achieve a high surface contact area, which is important for triboelectric properties. The results showed that the output voltage is improved by 375% compared to the TENG without keratin, with values reaching 322 V under a 6 N. It produced a high power density of 14.4 W m−2 and excellent cyclic stability for more than 8000 cycles, which are crucial for practical applications. Further, the potential applications are also studied, and the results showed that it can turn on over 250 light‐emitting diodes (LEDs), display liquid crystal display (LCD), and charge capacitors under 6 N. Moreover, it is successful in harvesting energy from waste vibrations, acoustic energy, and as a shoe, and the electrical output is utilized to power electronic devices. Furthermore, the power density harvested by the device is higher than that of TENG devices made with keratin‐rich materials. Therefore, this study paves the way for the use of keratin‐based bio‐waste materials for clean and green energy production, which can play significant roles in applications such as the charging of electronic devices, biomedicine, sensors, and smart textiles.
