Mimicking the comprehensive functions of human sensing via electronic skins (e-skins) is highly interesting for the development of human-machine interactions and artificial intelligences. Some e-skins with high sensitivity and stability were developed; however, little attention is paid to their comfortability, environmental friendliness, and antibacterial activity. Here, we report a breathable, biodegradable, and antibacterial e-skin based on all-nanofiber triboelectric nanogenerators, which is

The auditory system is the most efficient and straightforward communication strategy for connecting human beings and robots. Here, we designed a self-powered triboelectric auditory sensor (TAS) for constructing an electronic auditory system and an architecture for an external hearing aid in intelligent robotic applications. Based on newly developed triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) technology, the TAS showed ultrahigh sensitivity (110 millivolts/decibel). A TAS with the broadband response from

With its light weight, low cost and high efficiency even at low operation frequency, the triboelectric nanogenerator is considered a potential solution for self-powered sensor networks and large-scale renewable blue energy. As an energy harvester, its output power density and efficiency are dictated by the triboelectric charge density. Here we report a method for increasing the triboelectric charge density by coupling surface polarization from triboelectrification and hysteretic dielectric polar

Harvesting biomechanical energy is an important route for providing electricity to sustainably drive wearable electronics, which currently still use batteries and therefore need to be charged or replaced/disposed frequently. Here we report an approach that can continuously power wearable electronics only by human motion, realized through a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) with optimized materials and structural design. Fabricated by elastomeric materials and a helix inner electrode sticking on

A flexible self-charging power system is built by integrating a fiber-based supercapacitor with a fiber-based triboelectric nanogenerator for harvesting mechanical energy from human motion. The fiber-based supercapacitor exhibits outstanding electrochemical properties, owing to the excellent pseudocapacitance of well-prepared RuO2 ·xH2 O by a vapor-phase hydrothermal method as the active material. The approach is a step forward toward self-powered wearable electronics.

A novel strategy is developed for the large-scale fabrication of reduced graphene oxide films directly on flexible substrates in a controlled manner by the combination of a rod-coating technique and room-temperature reduction of graphene oxide. The as-prepared films display excellent uniformity, good transparency and conductivity, and great flexibility in a touch screen.

The operation cost of an intelligent high-speed train system is greatly increased by the enormous energy demand of large-scale signal and sensor networks. However, the wind energy generated by high-speed trains is completely neglected. Herein, a wind-energy-harvesting device, which is based on an elastic rotation triboelectric nanogenerator (ER-TENG), is fabricated to harvest the wind energy generated by high-speed moving trains and power the relevant signal and sensing devices. Due to the signi

The liquid-solid triboelectric nanogenerator (LS-TENG) has been demonstrated to harvest energy efficiently through the contact electrification effect between liquid and solid triboelectric materials, which can avoid the wear issue in solid-solid TENG. However, the droplet-based LS-TENG reveals the problems that it generally works with the continuous falling droplets or needs to be fully packaged, which greatly limit its practical application. Here, a droplet-based triboelectric nanogenerator (DB

The triboelectric nanogenerator shows a broad application potential in wind energy collection and wind speed sensing. However, it is difficult to realize wind energy collection and real-time wind speed monitoring in one simple device without external power support. Here, a high-performance dual-mode triboelectric nanogenerator is proposed to simultaneously collect wind energy efficiently and monitor wind speed in real time, which is composed by an alternating current triboelectric nanogenerator

Abstract The graphene with 3D porous network structure is directly laser‐induced on polyimide sheets at room temperature in ambient environment by an inexpensive and one‐step method, then transferred to silicon rubber substrate to obtain highly stretchable, transparent, and flexible electrode of the all‐solid‐state planar microsupercapacitors. The electrochemical capacitance properties of the graphene electrodes are further enhanced by nitrogen doping and with conductive poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxyth

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) are a possible power source for wearable electronics, but the conventional electrode materials for TENG are metals such as Cu and Al that are easy to be oxidized or corroded in some harsh environments. In this paper, metal electrode material is replaced by an electrical conducting polymer, polypyrrole (PPy), for the first time. Moreover, by utilizing PPy with micro/nanostructured surface as the triboelectric layer, the charge density generated is significantly

Abstract The sliding‐mode triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) exhibits higher charge transfer efficiency for extracting mechanical energy than the contact–separation mode TENG, but the energy loss induced by air breakdown as well as the inferior durability seriously limits its practical applications. Here, an effective strategy via interface liquid lubrication is proposed for enhancing output performance of both sliding‐mode alternative current TENG (AC‐TENG) and direct current TENG (DC‐TENG). Du

Vibration sensor is very necessary for monitoring the structural health of constructions. However, it is still a major challenge to meet simultaneously real-time monitoring, continuous assessment, and early incident warning in a simple device without a complicated power and analysis system. Here, we report a self-powered vibration sensor system to achieve real-time and continuous detection of the vibration characteristics from a dual-mode triboelectric nanogenerator (AC/DC-TENG), which can produ
