Overview of Power Management for Triboelectric Nanogenerators

Triboelectric Nanogenerators Power management for triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) has broken through the bottleneck of low energy supply efficiency for conventional electronics, which could effectively modulate the irregular, random, pulsed alternating output current of TENG into a steady and continuous direct current. As reviewed in article number 1900129 by Chi Zhang and co-workers, with the assistance of a power management module, TENG could act as a power supply for various intelligent systems, such as portable electronics, wearable health devices, internet of things and artificial intelligence.
