Abstract
Energy harvesting technologies based on piezoelectric properties of nanomaterials and triboelectric phenomenon between two different materials are superior candidates for random mechanical energy harvesting in the environment. Self-powered system integrated with such kind of energy harvesting module and multi-functional nanodevices have great application potentials in the independent, sustainable, maintenance-free operations of implantable biosensors, remote and mobile environmental sensors, nanorobotics, microelectromechanical systems, and even portable/wearable personal electronics. Several recent progresses are summarized here.
