TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical model for contact-mode TENGs was constructed based on the theoretical model, its real-time output characteristics and the relationship between the optimum resistance and TENG parameters were derived.

TL;DR: This work demonstrated the practicability of using NG to harvest large-scale mechanical energy, such as footsteps, rolling wheels, wind power, and ocean waves, by constructing a triboelectric nanogenerator with ultrahigh electric output.

TL;DR: This work demonstrates a novel and simple generator with extremely low cost for efficiently harvesting mechanical energy that is typically present in the form of vibrations and random displacements/deformation and extends the application of energy-harvesting technology to the field of electrochemistry with further utilizations including, but not limited to, pollutant degradation, corrosion protection, and water splitting.

TL;DR: Human skin based triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) that can either harvest biomechanical energy or be utilized as a self-powered tactile sensor system for touch pad technology are reported.

TL;DR: This study experimentally demonstrates the first application of pyroelectric ZnO nanowire arrays for converting heat energy into electricity and has the potential of using pyro electric nanowires to convert wasted energy into Electricity for powering nanodevices.
