Design and Implementation of Triboelectric Generator for energy generation

Intelligent electronics, such as smart wearable electronic devices, implantable devices, wireless sensor networks, and so on, have significantly increased the development of renewable and sustainable power sources on a small scale. At the moment, batteries are used to power these electronic devices, which have a limited lifespan and cause environmental issues, and monitoring and replacing all of the batteries used for the wireless sensor networks distributed around the world is a massive and impossible task. Among these novel energy harvesting technologies, the triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) has demonstrated significant potential to address power issues due to its advantages of high energy-conversion efficiency, high power output, good reliability, low cost, and environmental friendliness. In this paper, we examine the progress made in TENG as a flexible power source. Keywords: Triboelectric nanogenerators, wireless sensor networks, hybrid energy cells.
