“…Triboelectric technology has been proved to be an effective means to harvest these ubiquitous energies and convert them into electricity, which can be used in health surveillance [19][20][21][22][23], cell/nerve stimulation [24][25][26], or even power a commercial cardiac pacemaker [27]. These achievements bring new insights for scientific researchers and doctors to diagnose and treat related diseases.…”

• A triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) and a glucose fuel cell (GFC) were separately designed to harvest biomechanical energy from body motion and biochemical energy from glucose molecules. • A hybrid energy-harvesting system (HEHS) which consisted of TENG and GFC was developed successfully, and it can simultaneously harvest biomechanical energy and biochemical energy. ABSTRACT Various types of energy exist everywhere around us, and these energies can be harvested from multiple sources to power micro-/nanoelectronic system and even personal electronic products. In this work, we proposed a hybrid energy-harvesting system (HEHS) for potential in vivo applications. The HEHS consisted of a triboelectric nanogenerator and a glucose fuel cell for simultaneously harvesting biomechanical energy and biochemical energy in simulated body fluid. These two energy-harvesting units can work individually as a single power source or work simultaneously as an integrated system. This design strengthened the flexibility of harvesting multiple energies and enhanced corresponding electric output. Compared with any individual device, the integrated HEHS outputs a superimposed current and has a faster charging rate. Using the harvested energy, HEHS can power a calculator or a green light-emitting diode pattern. Considering the widely existed biomechanical energy and glucose molecules in the body, the developed HEHS can be a promising candidate for building in vivo self-powered healthcare monitoring system.

“…The device was cycled 80,000 times and showed high accuracy of pulse waveforms in human test subjects. A self-powered, wireless-controlled e-skin composed of flexible photosensitive-triboelectric MAPbI3/PDMS units was used in [5] for neural modulation of a mouse brain hippocampus. A current of 8.94 nA, with a 0.659 V voltage, was recorded under dark conditions for a linear motor velocity of 0.04 m/s (used for controlled deformation of the e-skin), with a device-bending angle of 60 • .…”

E-Skin: The Dawn of a New Era of On-Body Monitoring Systems

Real-time “on-body” monitoring of human physiological signals through wearable systems developed on flexible substrates (e-skin) is the next target in human health control and prevention, while an alternative to bulky diagnostic devices routinely used in clinics. The present work summarizes the recent trends in the development of e-skin systems. Firstly, we revised the material development for e-skin systems. Secondly, aspects related to fabrication techniques were presented. Next, the main applications of e-skin systems in monitoring, such as temperature, pulse, and other bio-electric signals related to health status, were analyzed. Finally, aspects regarding the power supply and signal processing were discussed. The special features of e-skin as identified contribute clearly to the developing potential as in situ diagnostic tool for further implementation in clinical practice at patient personal levels.

“…These studies are of great significance to the practical use of a self-powered system-based TENG for rehabilitation treatment of muscle function loss. In 2020, Guan et al demonstrated a self-powered photo-operate neural-stimulating e-skin for characterization of synaptic plasticity (Guan et al, 2020) (Figure 9e). The e-skin was fabricated by flexible MAPbI3/PDMS units based on photodetecting/triboelectric coupling effect, which can generate electrical output nerve stimulation signals by human body activities and regulated by photo illumination.…”

Wearable electronics are an essential direction for the future development of smart wearables. Among them, the battery life of wearable electronics is a key technology that limits their development. The proposal of self-powered wearable electronics (SWE) provides a promising solution to the problem of long-term stable working of wearable electronics. This review has made a comprehensive summary and analysis of recent advances on SWE from the perspectives of energy, materials, and ergonomics methods. At the same time, some representative research work was introduced in detail. SWE can be divided into energy type SWE and sensor type SWE according to their working types. Both types of SWE are broadly applied in human–machine interaction, motion information monitoring, diagnostics, and therapy systems. Finally, this article summarizes the existing bottlenecks of SWE, and predicts the future development direction of SWE.
