In recent years, portable and wearable personal electronic devices have rapidly developed with increasing mass production and rising energy consumption, creating an energy crisis. Using batteries and supercapacitors with limited lifespans and environmental hazards drives the need to find new, environmentally friendly, and renewable sources. One idea is to harness the energy of human motion and convert it into electrical energy using energy harvesting devices—piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs), triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) and hybrids. They are characterized by a wide variety of features, such as lightness, flexibility, low cost, richness of materials, and many more. These devices offer the opportunity to use new technologies such as IoT, AI or HMI and create smart self-powered sensors, actuators, and self-powered implantable/wearable devices. This review focuses on recent examples of PENGs, TENGs and hybrid devices for wearable and implantable self-powered systems. The basic mechanisms of operation, micro/nano-scale material selection and manufacturing processes of selected examples are discussed. Current challenges and the outlook for the future of the nanogenerators are also discussed.

“…Piezoelectricity, observed only in crystals with a non-centrosymmetric structure, involves the generation of electricity under stress [3]. Pyroelectricity, a subset of piezoelectricity, exhibits spontaneous polarization to generate electrical energy under temperature fluctuations [4]. Ferroelectricity is characterized by switchable spontaneous polarization, where the direction of electric dipoles can be reorientated under a sufficiently high electric field [5,6].…”

The inherent nonpolarity of tetragonal lysozyme crystals excludes a ferroelectricity response. Herein, we present a demonstration of achieving measurable ferroelectricity in tetragonal lysozyme crystals through C60 doping. Ferroelectric characterizations revealed that C60-doped tetragonal lysozyme crystals exhibited typical characteristic ferroelectric hysteresis loops. Crystallographic structural analysis suggested that C60 doping may induce a reduction in the overall symmetry of tetragonal Lys@C60, leading to the observed ferroelectricity response. Moreover, the introduction of C60 facilitates efficient electron transport inside the crystal and influences the polarization of Lys@C60, further contributing to the observed ferroelectricity response. This work verifies that C60 doping can serve as a simple strategy to bestow novel ferroelectric properties to non-ferroelectric lysozyme crystals, potentially rendering them suitable for biocompatible and biodegradable application in implantable and wearable bioelectronics.

The rapid growth of global energy consumption and the increasing demand for sustainable and renewable energy sources have urged vast research into harnessing energy from various sources. Among them, the most promising approaches are nanogenerators (NGs) and solar cells (SCs), which independently offer innovative solutions for energy harvesting. This review paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the integration of NGs and SCs, exploring advanced hybrid structures and their diverse applications. First, an overview of the principles and working mechanisms of NGs and SCs is provided for seamless hybrid integrations. Then, various design strategies are discussed, such as piezoelectric and triboelectric NGs with different types of SCs. Finally, a wide range of applications are explored that benefit from the synergistic integration of NGs and SCs, including self‐powered electronics, wearable devices, environmental monitoring, and wireless sensor networks. The potential for these hybrid systems is highlighted to address real‐world energy needs and contribute to developing sustainable and self‐sufficient technologies. In conclusion, this review provides valuable insights into the state‐of‐the‐art developments in NGs and SCs integration, shedding light on advanced hybrid structures and their diverse applications.
