Performance enhancement strategies and practical applications of triboelectric power generation fabrics
The remarkable development of microelectronics and wearable technologies has signifi-cantly improved the life quality of people,however this also brings about a great consumption of energy.At the same time,the demand for green and portable energy supplies has led to a wide-spread interest in triboelectric nanogenerator(TENG)technology,which can efficiently harvest mechanical energy,especially low-frequency and irregular biomechanical energy.TENG-based power generation fabrics are regarded as one of the most promising wearable energy devices due to their excellent wearing comfort,low cost,and flexibility.This paper briefly reviews the basic working principle of TENG fabrics,and focuses on the performance enhancement strategies of TENG fabrics,including the increase of charge density and the reduction of charge loss.Finally,the status and challenges of this field are summarized and outlooked to provide useful enlighten-ment for related research.
