Abstract

With the modernization of the technology with time, the demand for energy is increasing day by day, it is necessary to find out the new sources of renewable energy. The fossil fuels upon which the maximum energy has been produced till date are going to be depleted soon. A triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is new source of energy firstly demonstrated by Wang et al. in 2012, working basically on the principles of triboelectric effect and electrostatic induction. A triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) can be used to harvest many forms of energy from the environment which is generally wasted. It has a very simple working mechanism and easy design and can be used to power many small wearable electronics. Many properties of the TENG make it capable of producing large power, and to be used in future for large power generation.
