Abstract

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have emerged as promising technologies for versatile energy harvesting. Recent advancements in TENG design have demonstrated their potential in converting mechanical energy into electrical power effectively. This study explores the integration of TENGs with photovoltaic cells to create hybrid systems that leverage both triboelectric and solar energy. These hybrid devices have shown significant improvements in energy harvesting efficiency and operational flexibility. They are capable of powering various applications, including wireless sensors and Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting, under different environmental conditions. Ongoing research focuses on optimizing TENG materials and hybrid solar cell designs to enhance their performance and scalability. Future efforts should address challenges related to system integration, efficiency, and reliability to broaden the practical applications of these technologies in sustainable energy solutions.
