Piezoelectric materials are widely referred to as “smart” materials because they can
transduce mechanical pressure acting on them to electrical signals and vice versa. They are …

Integration of advanced nanogenerator technology with conventional textile processes
fosters the emergence of textile‐based nanogenerators (NGs), which will inevitably promote …

Self-powered wearable sensors have attracted extensive attention in tactile sensing, motion-
detecting, and biomedical signal monitoring. The practical application of these devices …

Mechanical energy sources are abundant in our living environment, such as body motion,
vehicle transportation, engine vibrations and breezy wind, which have been underestimated …

Wind energy is crucial for meeting climate and energy sustainability targets. Small wind
turbines (SWTs) have gained significant attention due to their size and adaptability. These …

Technologies to harvest electrical energy from wind have vast potentials because wind is
one of the cleanest and most sustainable energy sources that nature provides. Here we …

We report a simple fabrication, great performance and cost-effective triboelectric
nanogenerator (TENG), which is based on the cycled contact-separation between a …

The polar and piezoelectric nature of the wurtzite structure of ZnO nanowires with a high
aspect ratio at nanoscale dimensions is of high interest for piezotronic and piezoelectric …

We demonstrate a flexible piezoelectric nanogenerator (PNG) constructed using a hybrid (or
composite) film composed of highly crystalline BaTi (1–x) Zr x O3 (x= 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, and …

Air pollution is one of the major challenges faced by the human kind, but cleaning of air is a
horrendous task and hugely expensive, because of its large scope and the cost of energy …
