TL;DR: A next-generation TENG is reported, which realizes constant current output by coupling the triboelectrification effect and electrostatic breakdown and provides a paradigm-shifting technique to harvest mechanical energy.

TL;DR: In this article, a soft-contact spherical TENG with an acrylic hollow sphere as its shell and a rolling flexible liquid/silicone as the soft core was proposed to increase the output power by optimizing both materials and structural design.

TL;DR: A self-powered vibration sensor system to achieve real-time and continuously detecting the vibration characteristics from a dual-mode triboelectric nanogenerator (AC/DC-TENG), which can produce either alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC) within different operation zones.

TL;DR: The findings not only establish an optimization methodology for the output performance of TENGs but also provide an insight into the process of triboelectrification.

TL;DR: In this article, a basic theory about the limitation factors of surface charge density is comprehensively rebuilt through analytical mathematical derivation of the limitation equation, which can be obtained directly by a new optimization methodology, i.e. using thin dielectric layer.
