Abstract
Recently, there has been a lot of focus on developing new waste-to-energy technologies because they help us to provide sustainable energy solutions for future generations. This review paper investigates an innovative waste-to-energy technology known as triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), which uses the electrostatic induction and contact electrification principles of physics. The underlying physics of TENG technology allows for a wide range of material choices for its fabrication; as a result, waste materials are utilized for energy production using TENGs. It comprehensively discusses how various types of waste, including plastic, electronic, medical, household, and biowaste, can be integrated into TENG technology for efficient energy production. Furthermore, various applications of waste-based TENGs are discussed in detail. Finally, we projected challenges and future directions for creating a sustainable, green energy landscape.
Graphical abstract
The review article presents a detailed exploration of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) as novel waste-to-energy technologies that utilize waste materials.
期刊介绍:
Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials is a leading international journal that promotes interdisciplinary collaboration among materials scientists, engineers, chemists, biologists, and physicists working on composites, including nanocomposites. Our aim is to facilitate rapid scientific communication in this field.
The journal publishes high-quality research on various aspects of composite materials, including materials design, surface and interface science/engineering, manufacturing, structure control, property design, device fabrication, and other applications. We also welcome simulation and modeling studies that are relevant to composites. Additionally, papers focusing on the relationship between fillers and the matrix are of particular interest.
Our scope includes polymer, metal, and ceramic matrices, with a special emphasis on reviews and meta-analyses related to materials selection. We cover a wide range of topics, including transport properties, strategies for controlling interfaces and composition distribution, bottom-up assembly of nanocomposites, highly porous and high-density composites, electronic structure design, materials synergisms, and thermoelectric materials.
Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials follows a rigorous single-blind peer-review process to ensure the quality and integrity of the published work.
