Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Among the energy-harvesting devices, the triboelectric ones have great potential to convert environmental stimuli into usable electrical power, which can be utilized in various fields, including human–machine interfaces, soft robotics and internet-of-things. Because of the diverse merits including simple preparation process, low cost, and high performance, the triboelectric devices play a vital role in the development of self-powered devices for direct detection of bio-signals responsive to different micromotions, and the device operation by a capacitor stored from the mechanical stimuli, which can be implanted anywhere on the body or cloth. In recent years, significant advancements have been achieved in the development of effective triboelectric materials and novel triboelectric application.

This Special Issue aims to explore the latest research and developments in triboelectric materials as well as highlight their applications in different fields. We encourage submissions that focus on functional triboelectric materials and characterization, advanced fabrication techniques, and novel triboelectric applications. Manuscripts presenting experimental studies, theoretical analyses, modeling approaches, and advanced applications are also welcome.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Novel material designs for triboelectric performances;
  • Flexible and wearable triboelectric applications;
  • Integration of triboelectric devices into practical applications;
  • Next-generation triboelectric applications.

This Special Issue cordially invites researchers to share their expertise and insights, which we believe will play a crucial role in advancing the practical applications of triboelectric materials, thereby paving the way for a greener and more sustainable future.

The utilization of triboelectric materials has gained considerable attention in recent years, offering a sustainable approach to energy harvesting and sensing technologies. Biomass-derived materials, owing to their abundance, renewability, and biocompatibility, offer promising avenues for enhancing the performance and versatility of triboelectric devices. This paper explores the synthesis and characterization of biomass-derived materials, their integration into triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), and their applications in energy harvesting, self-powered sensors, and environmental monitoring. This review presents an overview of the emerging field of advanced triboelectric applications that utilize the unique properties of biomass-derived materials. Additionally, it addresses the challenges and opportunities in employing biomass-derived materials for triboelectric applications, emphasizing the potential for sustainable and eco-friendly energy solutions.
