Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are emerging as a form of sustainable and renewable technology for harvesting wasted mechanical energy in nature, such as motion, waves, wind, and vibrations. TENG devices
For example, a biodegradable TENG was developed for in vivo energy harvesting as a sustainable power source in 2016. 98 Later in 2018, a jellyfish-inspired TENG with the waterproof and shape-adaptive property was reported for blue

Taipower announced today (4/20) that the Longtan Ultra-High Voltage Substation (E/S) energy storage equipment system tender was won by the TECO team with a bid of NT$2.6 billion. In
Taiwan Power Company announced today that TECO Group has won the bid for the Longtan ultra-high voltage (UHV) substation energy storage system at NT$2.6 billion. According to TECO Chairman Sophia Chiu, the Longtan UHV substation energy storage system is a major national construction project.
Significant progress has been made in improving the performance of TENG-based hybrid energy-harvesting systems via new concepts, designs, and integration methods.
In a recent study, Zhao et al. developed a hybrid TENG-PENG device for efficiently harvesting mechanical rotation energy (Figure 8 F). 109 By integrating with an energy-managing circuit (Figure 8 G), the system generated a stable and constant output voltage of 3.6 V, which could directly power commercial electronics or charge energy-storage units.
However, the real-time nature of this power supply form renders it impractical for TENGs reliant on harvesting irregular mechanical energy from the environment to stably power electronic devices, which presents a significant impediment to the broader practical application of TENGs.
The hybrid systems can independently or collaboratively harvest energy from one or more kinds of sources under different conditions, which improves the energy-conversion efficiency and widens its potential applications. The pros and cons of the different TENG-based hybrid energy devices are summarized in Table 2.
TENG has also been reported to integrate with thermoelectric generators, or pyroelectric nanogenerators, so that mechanical energy and thermal energy can be simultaneously harvested [ , , , ].
