Abstract

AbstractThe advancement of the Internet of Things/5G infrastructure requires a low‐cost ubiquitous sensory network to realize an autonomous system for information collection and processing, aiming at diversified applications ranging from healthcare, smart home, industry 4.0 to environmental monitoring. The triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is considered the most promising technology due to its self‐powered, cost‐effective, and highly customizable advantages. Through the use of wearable electronic devices, advanced TENG technology is developed as a core technology enabling self‐powered sensors, power supplies, and data communications for the aforementioned applications. In this review, the advancements of TENG‐based electronics regarding materials, material/device hybridization, systems integration, technology convergence, and applications in healthcare, environment monitoring, transportation, and smart homes toward the future green earth are reported.
