“…Typically, such fabrications take place in the form of triboelectric modifications in yarn or fabric form. For instance, the fiber/yarn-based TENG fabrication methods include laboratory-scale electrospinning ( Li et al., 2020 ), wrapping or coiling with a motor ( Lou et al., 2020 ; Ye et al., 2020a ), twisting techniques ( Zhou et al., 2014a , 2014b ), etc. These yarns and fibers are typically embedded or converted into fabrics using sewing ( He et al., 2019 ; Lai et al., 2017 ), hand weaving ( Liu et al., 2019a , 2019b ; Zhang et al., 2016 ), shuttle weaving ( Chen et al., 2016 ), hand knitting ( Dong et al., 2017b ), pilot-scale nonwoven techniques ( Peng et al., 2019 ), and embroidery ( Sala de Medeiros et al., 2019 ) methods.…”
