In recent years, the rational use and development of energy has become an important research direction. The triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) as a novel technology can effectively convert other energy around the environment into electricity. TENGs have wide applicability due to their adjustable structures, but they are still limited to a certain extent in some special fields. For example, some special requirements for triboelectric materials need to be addressed when TENG is applied in high temperature environment, water, wind and human health. Therefore, this review introduces some TENGs applied in special environments, and provides a reference for the preparation and application of functional TENGs. This work provides a new idea for the preparation of multifunctional TENGs and their wide application in various fields.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
