Abstract
The future is about powering portable electronics using the sole power of piezoelectric and triboelectric nanogenerators and the possibility of replacing a battery for building self-powered systems. Although in the past few years significant effort has been poured into the fabrication of flexible nanogenerators and self-powered nanosensors, there still exist a number of significant issues that need to be addressed and explored. The first challenge will be the hybridization of nanogenerators with an energy storage unit to form a self-charged power pack. In addition, it is crucial to find various approaches that can produce electric power on a large scale and increase the total current from the nanogenerators. Moreover, with the improvement of fabrication techniques, other unique self-powered wireless systems, wearable devices, transparent display panels and various bio-implanted medical devices with an independent and sustainable energy supply may be designed.
