This book introduces an innovative and high-efficiency technology for mechanical energy
harvesting. The book covers the history and development of triboelectric nanogenerators basic
structures working principles performance characterization and potential applications. It is
divided into three parts: Part A illustrates the fundamental working modes of triboelectric
nanogenerators with their prototype structures and theoretical analysis Part B and Part C
introduce two categories of applications namely self-powered systems and self-powered active
sensors. The book will be an ideal guide to scientists and engineers beginning to study
triboelectric nanogenerators or wishing to deepen their knowledge of the field. Readers will be
able to place the technical details about this technology in context and acquire the necessary
skills to reproduce the experimental setups for fabrication and measurement.
