“…To achieve the highest possible TENG performance, selecting materials with a high electronegativity difference and appropriate microstructural engineering is essential to maximize efficient surface charge generation [ 85 ]. Commonly used substrate materials include natural materials such as silk [ 86 ], cotton [ 87 ] and paper [ 88 ]; polymers, namely polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) [ 89 , 90 , 91 ], poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) [ 92 ], fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) [ 93 ], polyethylene terephthalate (PET) [ 94 , 95 , 96 ] and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) [ 96 , 97 ]; metals such as Copper [ 98 ] and Aluminum [ 99 ]; semi-conductors such as silicon [ 100 , 101 ] or titanium dioxide [ 102 , 103 ] and textiles (cotton [ 104 ]). As for conductive material, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), carbon particles, metals and metal oxides, graphene, nanowire-based materials, and conductive polymers have been utilized for their flexible and stretchable characteristics [ 105 ].…”

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.

“…TENG's manufacturing is also low-cost or scalable, making it preferable to supplementary a lowfrequency energy source. TENGs have traditionally been manufactured using expensive components and complex fabrication techniques such as triboelectric material modification and liquid metal [29][30][31][32][33].…”

Humans generate massive amounts of plastic and electronic waste, which pollute our environment, particularly our water supplies, and cause fatal difficulties. In addition, the increased use of fossil fuels is wreaking havoc on the ecosystem. In order to solve these issues, we describe a simple, low-cost, and environmentally-friendly triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) made of electronic waste and recycled plastic, and we add nanomaterial to improve power generation using biomechanical energy. The present investigation involves synthesizing carbon dots (CDs) nano-material through a single-step hydrothermal technique and CDs nano-material characterized via UV.Vis Spectroscopy. The proposed carbon dot-graphite nano composite-based TENGs (CGC-TENGs) are created by reusing dry cells (electronic waste) to obtain graphite, plastic bottles to obtain plastic, and synthesized CDs. CGC-TENGs manufactures a simple, low-cost, and environmentally friendly In-house quick and bulk fabrication printed electro hydrodynamics (EHD) electrospray process that uses less solvent and does not require specialist equipment or knowledge. Comparing fabricate TENG device results, in which CDs used produced high voltage (127.31 V)/current (107.12 μA), while not using CDs produced low voltage (95.23 V)/current (104.12 μA) at similar fabrication parameters, the size of the devices are 4.5 cm × 7 cm, and 15 N force applied. The CGC-TENG (δ) has maximum output performance and is thoroughly investigated using an open-circuit voltage of 171.30 V, a short circuit current of 111.39 μA, and a maximum output power density of 53.08 μW/cm2. CGC-TENG (δ) was used to power an electronic glucose monitoring device, and twenty-three blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to demonstrate its practical applications. The approach we propose produces renewable energy sources by reutilizing plastic waste and technological waste, providing a practical and sustainable path toward our goal of creating a green planet.

“…Its ideal working mode would be turning the switch on to power the circuit to the back end when the voltage of capacitor rises to its maximum value (Shan et al, 2021), and transfer energy to the back-end performance and increase its output capability. There are many types of switches (Vijoy et al, 2022), dividing into mechanical switches and electronic switches. Among the mechanical switches, the majority are contact switches and electrostatic vibration switches, while majority of electronic components are used to control whether the circuit is on or off to achieve the effect of switching in electronic switches.…”

As an important green energy in our life, natural wind energy is widely used in power generation. Triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) can convert wind energy in the environment into electrical signal. In this study, two independent TENGs in parallel (FHS-TENG) and the power management circuit composed of passive self-switching circuit and LC filter circuit constitute a self-supplying system, which is committed to harvesting wind energy in the environment and outputting stable voltage and improving energy storage performance. The self-switching circuit mainly includes rectifier module, energy storage module, the self-switching module, and filter module. And the on/off state of the passive self-switching is mainly controlled by two transistors, which implements the effect of switch. The results demonstrate that the energy stored by the power management circuit is more than 100 times higher than that of the universal circuit at 100 μF capacitor, and the calculator is in stable working order in simulated wind conditions. This work provides a new strategy for the passive electronic switch of TENG and the improvement of circuit energy storage performance, which is meaningful for the further application and industrialization of TENG.
