Triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) technology is a promising research field for energy harvesting and nanoenergy and nanosystem (NENS) in the aspect of mechanical, electrical, optical, acoustic, fluidic, and so on. This review systematically reports the progress of TENG technology, in terms of energy-boosting, emerging materials, self-powered sensors, NENS, and its further integration with other potential technologies. Starting from TENG mechanisms including the ways of charge generation and energy-boosting, we introduce the applications from energy harvesters to various kinds of self-powered sensors, that is, physical sensors, chemical/gas sensors. After that, further applications in NENS are discussed, such as blue energy, human-machine interfaces (HMIs), neural interfaces/implanted devices, and optical interface/wearable photonics. Moving to new research directions beyond TENG, we depict hybrid energy harvesting technologies, dielectric-elastomer-enhancement, self-healing, shape-adaptive capability, and self-sustained NENS and/or internet of things (IoT). Finally, the outlooks and conclusions about future development trends of TENG technologies are discussed toward multifunctional and intelligent systems.

“…Four basic energy harvesting modes of TEHs are vertical contact-separation (CS) mode, lateral-sliding (LS) mode, single-electrode (SE) mode, and freestanding triboelectric-layer (FT) mode [ 21 ]. Examples of studies on characterization and optimization of the electrical performance of triboelectric and electrode materials, device fabrication, and environment condition control are the following studies [ 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 ]. In addition, Cun Xin Lu et al [ 28 ] investigated the temperature effect on the triboelectric electrical output of a single-electrode mode and reported that, at a low temperature, the TEH was able to generate high electrical output, and vice versa.…”

This work investigated the mechanical and electrical behaviors of piezoelectric and triboelectric energy harvesters (PEHs and TEHs, respectively) as potential devices for harvesting impact-driven energy. PEH and TEH test benches were designed and developed, aiming at harvesting low-frequency mechanical vibration generated by human activities, for example, a floor-tile energy harvester actuated by human footsteps. The electrical performance and behavior of these energy harvesters were evaluated and compared in terms of absolute energy and power densities that they provided and in terms of these energy and power densities normalized to unit material cost. Several aspects related to the design and development of PEHs and TEHs as the energy harvesting devices were investigated, covering the following topics: construction and mechanism of the energy harvesters; electrical characteristics of the fabricated piezoelectric and triboelectric materials; and characterization of the energy harvesters. At a 4 mm gap width between the cover plate and the stopper (the mechanical actuation components of both energy harvesters) and a cover plate pressing frequency of 2 Hz, PEH generated 27.64 mW, 1.90 mA, and 14.39 V across an optimal resistive load of 7.50 kΩ, while TEH generated 1.52 mW, 8.54 µA, and 177.91 V across an optimal resistive load of 21 MΩ. The power and energy densities of PEH (4.57 mW/cm3 and 475.13 µJ/cm3) were higher than those of TEH (0.50 mW/cm3, and 21.55 µJ/cm3). However, when the material cost is taken into account, TEH provided higher power and energy densities per unit cost. Hence, it has good potential for upscaling, and is considered well worth the investment. The advantages and disadvantages of PEH and TEH are also highlighted as main design factors.

“…As shown in Figure 6A, the folded paper as substrate connects four contact/separate TENG units to improve the output performance 76 . Meanwhile, in order to save the materials and compress space, there are also some paper‐based TENGs with stripe folds configuration, where the paper serves as both substrate and functional film, 77 as illustrated in Figure 6B. Although the common stripe folds method can effectively integrate multiple triboelectric generators, the output capacity can still be improved.…”

In recent years, as a new type of mechanical energy conversion technology, triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) based on the coupling effect of contact electrification and electrostatic induction has shown distinct advantages in the field of distributed micro/nano power sources, high-precision sensing, and portable high-voltage sources. Typically, the main functional components of TENG include a tribo-layer and the conductive layer, both of which need to be attached on the substrate material serving as support framework thus form a usable device. According to the property of different substrate materials, TENG can achieve various characteristics to meet different practical demands. Among plenty of materials, paper, a commend commodity in daily life, with the characters of cost effectiveness, flexibility, lightweight, integratability, and biocompatibility is considered as a promising substrate or frame material to form super-portable TENG for self-powered electronic devices. However, the rough and porous structure increases the risk of breaking conductive layer prepared by directly depositing metal film during continuously periodical deformation. Herein, focusing on paper-based triboelectric nanogenerator, this article summarizes the preparation methods of paper-based durable conductive layer. Then, the recent researches of paper-based TENGs are systematically introduced from the aspects of mechanical energy harvesting, micro-nano energy devices, self-powered sensors and systems, and so on. Finally, future opportunities and the remaining challenges are expected and discussed.
