A flexible triboelectric nanogenerator (FTENG) based on wavy‐structured Kapton film and a serpentine electrode on stretchable substrates is presented. The as‐fabricated FTENG is capable of harvesting ambient mechanical energy via both compressive and stretching modes. Moreover, the FTENG can be a bendable power source to work on curved surfaces; it can also be adaptively attached onto human skin for monitoring gentle body motions.
