TL;DR: TENG and PENG, as effective mechanical-to-electricity energy conversion technologies, have been used not only as power sources but also as active sensing devices in many application fields, including physical sensors, wearable devices, biomedical and health care, human–machine interface, chemical and environmental monitoring, smart traffic, smart cities, robotics, and fiber and fabric sensors.

TL;DR: The analysis results proved that asymmetrical flexure hinge mechanism can increase static friction force in slow extension stage and decrease kinetic frictionforce in quick contraction stage by lateral motion of the driving foot.

TL;DR: In this paper, a torus-structured triboelectric nanogenerator (TS-TENG) is presented for harvesting large-scale ocean wave energy and other potential applications in blue energy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the development of the triboelectric nanogenerator and its global impact is investigated by analyzing the statistical publication numbers and the geographic distribution of the publications.

TL;DR: In this paper, a gravity triboelectric nanogenerator (G-TENG) is developed for the first time to convert natural wind energy into steady electric energy, achieving the steady harvesting of natural wind energies.
