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.
