Self-suspended shell-based triboelectric nanogenerator for omnidirectional wind-energy harvesting

Harvesting the aeolian vibration energy of transmission lines using an omnidirectional broadband triboelectric nanogenerator in smart grids

“…In Table 1, the ODB-TENG has the highest bandwidth of 4.3 Hz because it is not based on resonance effects. The harvester of Ko 36 is omnidirectional; however, it is unsuitable for collecting the vibration energy. The comparison results show that the ODB-TENG has advantages in terms of the output power, bandwidth, and omnidirectionality.…”

Triboelectric-Electromagnetic Hybrid Wind-Energy Harvester with a Low Startup Wind Speed in Urban Self-Powered Sensing

“…In 2012, the first triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) proposed by Wang’s team showed great prospects in applications of self-powered systems [ 14 ]. With deeper research over the interim, TENGs have offered unique advantages in low-frequency energy collection, specifically, high output voltages from small input excitations [ 15 , 16 , 17 ]. They are widely used to harvest energy from environment, such as mechanical energy [ 18 , 19 , 20 ], tidal energy [ 21 , 22 , 23 ], and wind energy from various environments [ 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ].…”

Novel paradigm of mosquito-borne disease control based on self-powered strategy

“…The advantages of TENG include a wide selection of materials, simple structure, low cost, high efficiency, and high output voltage (17). It has also been widely used in fields involving motion (18), pressure (19,20), inertia (21) and vibration (22, 23) to convert mechanical energy to electrical energy; furthermore, it can also be used in conjunction with wind energy (24), water energy (21,25), and other fields (26,27). As most mosquito control equipment require external power supply, the limitations of mosquito control and sterilization are manifold, especially in outdoor and remote areas.…”
