Textile- and Fiber-Based Triboelectric Nanogenerators: Advances and Perspectives presents the latest developments in triboelectric nanogenerators, covering current achievements and applications, as well as potential future applications. The book identifies the key drawbacks to these devices and then proposes solutions in a systematic way. It presents a guide for material scientists, electrical and chemical engineers, and industry practitioners on the current state-of-the- art of this multidisciplinary research area, while also opening up important new avenues of research for the industry to further develop smart textile-based energy harvesting devices. Readers will find comprehensive coverage of all types of textile- and fiber-based triboelectric nanogenerators for application in wearable technologies and self-powered electronics. It also outlines the unique advantages of triboelectric nanogenerators, their design considerations and guidelines, and the key challenges in translating them from the lab into real-world applications, with a particular focus on applications in the fields of sensing, structural health monitoring, and energy harvesting.
