“…From this point of view, electrospinning nanofibers into fabrics is an ideal method for manufacturing wearable devices. Whereas a traditional coat layer reduces the breathability of the fabric [ 24 ], the electrospinning coating has the advantage of both air permeability and flexibility, and furthermore allows the surface of the fabric to be modified so it can achieve the desired function [ 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 ].…”

Research in the field of wearable triboelectric generators is increasing, and pioneering research into real applications of this technology is a growing need in both scientific and industry research. In addition to the two key characteristics of wearable triboelectric generators of flexibility and generating friction, features such as softness, breathability, washability, and wear resistance have also attracted a lot of attention from the research community. This paper reviews wearable triboelectric generators that are used in human clothing for energy conversion. The study focuses on analyzing fabric structure and examining the integration method of flexible generators and common fibers/yarns/textiles. Compared to the knitting method, the woven method has fewer restrictions on the flexibility and thickness of the yarn. Remaining challenges and perspectives are also investigated to suggest how to bring fully generated clothing to practical applications in the near future.

“…In recent years, triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have received considerable attention because they can reduce the energy loss of sensors and wearable power supplies, promoting the rapid development of self-powered devices. [1][2][3][4] Compared with the traditional external fixed energy devices, TENGs with lightweight and easily manufacturable characteristics based on contact electrification and electrostatic induction can effectively convert low-frequency mechanical energy (human movement, wind, and raindrops) in the environment into electrical energy. [5][6][7][8][9][10] However, their low output power density seriously hinders the wide application of TENGs.…”
