“…Urine is the main source of pathogens, and traditional sewage sterilization has high energy consumption and may produce harmful by-products. Zhang et al [ 98 ] developed a new method for removing bacteria in urine, namely, a TENG-driven nanowire electrode array (T-NEA) system ( Figure 10 h). Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae cause epidemic infections.…”

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) can not only collect mechanical energy around or inside the human body and convert it into electricity but also help monitor our body and the world by providing interpretable electrical signals during energy conversion, thus emerging as an innovative medical solution for both daily health monitoring and clinical treatment and bringing great convenience. This review tries to introduce the latest technological progress of TENGs for applications in biophysical sensors, where a TENG functions as a either a sensor or a power source, and in some cases, as both parts of a self-powered sensor system. From this perspective, this review begins from the fundamental working principles and then concisely illustrates the recent progress of TENGs given structural design, surface modification, and materials selection toward output enhancement and medical application flexibility. After this, the medical applications of TENGs in respiratory status, cardiovascular disease, and human rehabilitation are covered in detail, in the form of either textile or implantable parts for pacemakers, nerve stimulators, and nerve prostheses. In addition, the application of TENGs in driving third-party medical treatment systems is introduced. Finally, shortcomings and challenges in TENG-based biophysical sensors are highlighted, aiming to provide deeper insight into TENG-based medical solutions for the development of TENG-based self-powered electronics with higher performance for practical applications.

“…Using triboelectric nanogenerators to drive the copper oxide nanowire electrode array, through the point effect to amplify the electric field, can cause irreversible electroporation to microorganisms. When it is applied to urine polluted by E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumonia, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, it has high sterilization efficiency (more than 99.9999%), no living chlorine, and simultaneous degradation of organic pollutants, which has great application potential (Zhang et al, 2022).…”

A large number of pathogenic microorganisms exist in medical wastewater, which could invade the human body through the water and cause harm to human health. With the global pandemic coronavirus (COVID-19), public health safety become particularly important, and medical wastewater treatment is an important part of it. In particular, electrochemical disinfection technology has been widely studied in medical wastewater treatment due to its greenness, high efficiency, convenient operation, and other advantages. In this paper, the development status of electrochemical disinfection technology in the treatment of medical wastewater is reviewed, and an electrochemical three-stage disinfection system is proposed for the treatment of medical wastewater. Moreover, prospects for the electrochemical treatment of medical wastewater will be presented. It is hoped that this review could provide insight and guidance for the research and application of electrochemical disinfection technology to treat medical wastewater.

Rapid iterations of sensing, energy, and communication technologies transform traditional agriculture into standardized, intensive, and smart modern agriculture. However, the energy supply challenge for the plentiful sensors or other microdevices constraints the extensive application of intelligent technologies in agriculture. Triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG), which efficiently converts mechanical energy into electrical energy through contact electrification and electrostatic induction, is considered a promising way to build next-generation intelligent energy supply networks. By efficiently harvesting low-frequency mechanical energy from the agricultural environment, including wind, rain, and water flow energy, TENGs can be a strong contender for distributed power for microdevice networks in smart agriculture. In addition, highly customizable TENGs can be combined with microdevices in agriculture to enable self-powered agricultural monitoring and production strategy adjustment. By deeply exploring the application potential of TENG in agriculture, it is conducive to further promoting unmanned production, refinement, and intelligence of agricultural production and enhancing agriculture's ability to combat natural risks.
