Scalable, washable and lightweight triboelectric-energy-generating fibers by the thermal drawing process for industrial loom weaving

In the era of the internet of things (IoTs), it is desired to equip the decentralized electronics with distributed power sources. The fiber-based triboelectric nanogenerator (FTENG) provides one of the soundest solutions due to its high efficiency, easy deployment, excellent wearability, low cost, and eco-friendliness. Compared with other forms of TENGs, it can be woven into fabrics as wearable devices, offering good compactness and...
