Boosting the output performance of triboelectric nanogenerators via surface engineering and structure designing

Abstract

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have been utilized in a wide range of applications, including smart wearable devices, self-powered sensors, energy harvesting, and high-voltage power sources. The surface morphology and structure of TENGs play a critical role in their output performance. In this review, we analyze the working mechanism of TENGs with the aim to improve their output performance and systematically summarize the morphological engineering and structural design strategies for TENGs. Additionally, we present the emerging applications of TENGs with specific structures and surfaces. Finally, we discuss the potential future development and industrial application of TENGs. By deeply exploring the surface and structural design strategy of high-performance TENGs, it is conducive to further promote the application of TENGs in actual production. We hope that this review provides insights and guidance for the morphological and structural design of TENGs in the future.
