The triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is a new type of energy generator first demonstrated in 2012. TENGs have shown potential as power sources for electronic devices and as sensors for detecting mechanical and chemical stimuli. To date, studies on TENGs have focused primarily on optimizing the systems and circuit designs or exploring possible applications. Even though triboelectricity is highly related to the material properties, studies on materials and material designs have been relatively less investigated. This review article introduces recent progress in TENGs, by focusing on materials and material designs to improve the electrical output and sensing performance. This article discusses the current technological issues and the future challenges in materials for TENG.Nanotechnology: Materials for harvesting energy from motionThe development of materials for a technology that uses the movement of the human body to provide power has been reviewed by scientists in South Korea. A triboelectric nanogenerator converts mechanical energy into electricity by harnessing the fact that two surfaces rubbing against one another can become electrically charged. This is known as the triboelectric effect. One exciting use for these nanogenerators is in wearable electronics, where the motion of the body provides the power. Unyong Jeong and colleagues from Pohang University of Science and Technology have reviewed recent progress in material advances in the four main elements of a triboelectric nanogenerator: the charge-generating layer, the charge-trapping layer, the charge-collecting layer, and the charge-storage layer. These improvements all aim to increase the electrical output of such devices.
