“…Therefore, it is pivotal to discover viable solutions for these bottlenecks for TENG-based self-power systems to revolutionize their commercialization. [237,238] Being one of the primary sources of energy, the wave amplitude of water in the ocean depends on its surroundings factors like the flow direction of offshore wind, speed of wind, intensity, frequency of ship movement, etc. [133,239] Thus, the correlation between ocean wave-related factors and the contact area of the energy-scavenging TENGs still needs further research to generate industrial-scale energy capable of supporting the whole marine monitoring system.…”

Progress in advanced electronics has initiated the investigation of new ways to develop and apply self‐powered smart devices. The concern for meteoric exhausting non‐renewable energy sources has spurred such endeavors. Even so, using external power sources like batteries is problematic due to limited capacity, maintenance inconvenience, replacement, and environmental hazards. Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) capable of converting various forms of mechanical energies into electrical output are gaining popularity. The marine and coastal areas are abundant sources of salvable mechanical energy. TENGs can convert lower‐frequency, ununiform, multidirectional energies into usable electricity. This can solve the device‐powering problem and can generate diverse signals to act as monitoring or sensing platforms themselves. In this review, three main TENG‐based/TENG‐driven application themes are addressed, i.e., energy harvesting, marine environment monitoring, and self‐powered equipment for marine‐related activities. It attempts to emphasize that various design features of TENGs can influence output performance; TENGs can power devices and monitor ocean parameters; TENGs‐integrated modern IoT networking systems can transmit real‐time data. Overall, this review encompasses the fundamental working mechanisms, structure designs, and practical implementation scenarios of recently developed devices in diverse marine applications. Finally, the existing challenges and potential future directions for TENG‐based marine self‐powered electronic systems are discussed.

“…Previous studies on power management have been carried out using discrete components. [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37] Considering the form factor for wearability, however, discrete realizations impose a significant limit on reducing the volume, size, and power. Consequently, the integrated circuit (IC) approach for TENG power management has attracted significant attention.…”

A self-powered system for the Internet of Things (IoT) is demonstrated for efficient energy harvesting of naturally available mechanical energy. In this system, new contact-separation mode triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), based on fluorinated ethylene propylene, are investigated using the segmented multi-TENG configuration to reduce the effect of parasitic capacitance. The TENG extraction is optimized using a unit step excitation involved with the Dawson function to achieve a high voltage (400 V) and a high current (26.6 µA). To fully extract the power of the TENGs, the power management integrated circuit (PMIC) specially designed for adaptively controlled, high-voltage (HV) maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is proposed. The PMIC implemented in a bipolar CMOS-DMOS 180 nm process can handle a wide input range (5-70 V) by consuming 420 nW. The MPPT control allows a wide range of impedance matching from 10 to 300 MΩ, achieving a tracking efficiency of up to 98.2%. The end-to-end efficiency of 88% demonstrates state-of-the-art performance. To supply a higher instantaneous power than that available from the TENGs, a duty-cycling technique is successfully demonstrated. The proposed energy harvesting system provides a promising approach to realizing sustainable and autonomous energy sources for various IoT applications.

“…According to the parallel plate capacitance model, Equation ( 20) can be expressed in the same way as Equation (17). As seen in the preceding derivation, adjusting the location of the charged plane alters the capacitance ratio C 1 /C 2 , which in turn alters the charge transfer between the two electrodes in the short-circuit state.…”

“…Based on Maxwell's displacement current theory, the triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is a revolutionary energy device that turns wasteful mechanical energy into electrical energy [10,11]. Due to the many benefits of TENG, such as its low cost, simple manufacturing, high power density, and the potential of self-provided energy monitoring, an increasing number of researchers [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] use TENG for energy harvesting and self-provided energy monitoring. When compared with the more traditional method of using electromagnetic induction for power production [22][23][24], TENG has been proven to be optimal for collecting energy at low frequencies (5 Hz).…”

To reach ocean resources, sea activities and marine equipment variety are increasing, requiring offshore energy supply. Marine wave energy, the marine renewable energy with the most potential, offers massive energy storage and great energy density. This research proposes a swinging boat-type triboelectric nanogenerator concept for low-frequency wave energy collection. Triboelectric electronanogenerators with electrodes and a nylon roller make up the swinging boat-type triboelectric nanogenerator (ST-TENG). COMSOL electrostatic simulations and power generation concepts of independent layer and vertical contact separation modes of operation explain the device functionality. By rolling the drum at the bottom of the integrated boat-like device, it is possible to capture wave energy and convert it into electrical energy. Based on it, the ST load, TENG charging, and device stability are evaluated. According to the findings, the maximum instantaneous power of the TENG in the contact separation and independent layer modes reaches 246 W and 112.5 μW at matched loads of 40 MΩ and 200 MΩ, respectively. Additionally, the ST-TENG can retain the usual functioning of the electronic watch for 45 s while charging a 33 µF capacitor to 3 V in 320 s. Long-term low-frequency wave energy collection is possible with the device. The ST-TENG develops novel methods for large-scale blue energy collection and maritime equipment power.
