The field of transportation plays a crucial role in the development of society. It is vital to establish a smart transportation system (STS) to increase the convenience and security of human life. The incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) into the traffic system has facilitated the emergence of innovative technologies like autonomous vehicles or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which contribute to the reduction of traffic accidents and the liberation of human driving time. However, this improvement involves the use of multiple sensor devices that need external power sources. As a result, pollution occurs, as do increases in manufacturing costs. Therefore, the quest to develop sustainable energy remains a formidable obstacle. Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) have emerged as a possible solution for addressing this problem owing to their exceptional performance and simple design. This article explores the use of TENG-based self-power sensors and their potential applications in the field of transportation. Furthermore, the data collected for this study might aid readers in enhancing their comprehension of the benefits linked to the use of these technologies to promote their creative ability.

“…The exploration and implementation of renewable energy sources have attracted a great deal of attention from industry and academia. Converting mechanical energy from the external environment into electrical signals is an economically viable, safe, efficient, and environmentally friendly option. − Unfortunately, the inherent shortcomings of the external power sources used for electronic devices, such as short service life, potential safety risks, and severe environmental pollution, pose significant challenges for microinstrumentation power supplies . TENGs are energy conversion devices based on the coupling of the friction effect and electrostatic induction effect. , When two materials with different surface friction polarities are close to each other, equal amounts of positive and negative charges are generated on the surface of the materials .…”

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) developed from eco-friendly natural materials rather than traditional electronic materials are more favorable for biocompatible applications and for use in sustainable life-cycle analysis. Silk fibroin (SF) has emerged as an abundant natural biomaterial that shows great potential in the preparation of TENGs. Silk-based triboelectric nanogenerators (SF-TENGs) have green energy harvesting properties, are environmentally friendly, are biocompatible, are not fully present in conventional TENGs, and are important for the next generation of selfpowered electronic devices. In this review, the latest progress in SF-TENGs, including their applied materials, structural properties, manufacturing processes, and application scenarios, is discussed. These SF-TENGs show great potential for use in emerging energy and electronic applications as well as smart living and medical assistance. In addition, the potential value of SF-TENGs has been further explored, and the possibility and main challenges of expanding and applying SF-TENGs to the field of microneedles (MNs) are discussed.

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) stand out in the evolving landscape of wind-energy harvesting because of their potential for sustainable energy production. Despite these advancements, challenges remain in achieving practical designs that integrate seamlessly into everyday environments. Our study introduces a vertical blind-shaped triboelectric nanogenerator (VB-TENG) inspired by common vertical blinds in residential settings. The VB-TENG harnesses wind energy through an innovative design involving thin, vertically aligned poly(ethylene terephthalate) films, each coated with aluminum. This design serves not only as a functional energy harvester but also as a harmonious addition to urban aesthetics, mimicking the appearance and movement of traditional blinds. Utilizing vortex-induced vibration, the VB-TENG efficiently converts wind energy into electricity, a process validated through simulation and high-speed camera analyses. Our extensive experiments demonstrate that the effectiveness of the VB-TENG is considerably influenced by structural elements such as the number, width, and thickness of the films, attached lead weights, and varying wind conditions. Furthermore, the capability of our harvester extends beyond energy harvesting to function as a self-powered wind sensor, showcasing its multifunctionality. The VB-TENG offers a unique combination of efficiency, aesthetic integration, and multifunctionality. This marks a significant step forward in wind-driven TENG technology by proposing an energy-harvesting solution that is effective and elegantly integrated into the fabric of daily living environments, paving the way for more sustainable and practical energy solutions.
