Rational Structure Optimized Hybrid Nanogenerator for Highly Efficient Water Wave Energy Harvesting

Water wave energy is a promising renewable energy source that may alleviate the rising concerns over current resource depletion, but it is rarely exploited due to the lack of efficient energy harvesting technologies. In this work, a hybrid system …

Triboelectric Nanogenerator: A Foundation of the Energy for the New Era

A 10-year roadmap for the TENG technology that will serve as a foundation of the energy for the new era

A spring-based resonance coupling for hugely enhancing the performance of triboelectric nanogenerators for harvesting low-frequency vibration energy

Low-frequency vibration is a ubiquitous energy that exists almost everywhere, but a high efficient harvesting of which remains challenging. Recently developed triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) provides a promising alternative approach to …

Fully Packaged Blue Energy Harvester by Hybridizing a Rolling Triboelectric Nanogenerator and an Electromagnetic Generator

Ocean energy, in theory, is an enormous clean and renewable energy resource that can generate electric power much more than that required to power the entire globe without adding any pollution to the atmosphere. However, owing to a lack of effective …
