Abstract
The triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have shown the most significant potential in developing a sustainable power source for wearable technologies. Among the various TENGs devices, the textiles are the most suitable candidates for harvesting biomechanical energy due to their excellent flexibility, biocompatibility, confirmability, and simple fabrication techniques. The advancement in the textile technologies enables a seamless integration of TENG into the clothing and accessories for efficient energy harvesting. Various approaches for developing textile-based TENGs are demonstrated mainly on weaving, knitting and combinations of different textile manufacturing processes. The potential of textile-based TENGs to provide sustainable energy for wearables makes them a promising avenue for future developments in the field of renewable energy technology. This paper provides a critical review of current developments in textile-based triboelectric nanogenerators as a sustainable power source, the effect of textile process parameters and the applications of TENGs for physiological monitoring.
