TLDR
The past decade has been especially creative for nanogenerators as energy harvesting devices utilizing both piezoelectric and terra-tidelectric properties as discussed by the authors, and self-charging power units using both nanogenators and energy storage systems have begun to be investigated for portable and wearable electronics to be used in our daily lives.Abstract:
The past decade has been especially creative for nanogenerators as energy harvesting devices utilizing both piezoelectric and triboelectric properties. Most recently, self-charging power units using both nanogenerators and energy storage systems have begun to be investigated for portable and wearable electronics to be used in our daily lives. This review focuses on these hybrid devices with self-charging combined with energy harvesting storage systems based on the most recent reports. In this research update, we will describe the materials, device structures, integration, applications, and research progress up to the present on hybrid devices.read more
