Abstract
Coupling energy storage devices with triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) to form self-charging power systems (SCPSs) allows continuous power supply for electronic devices. This strategy can overcome issues such as inconvenient recharging or replacement of stand-alone energy storage devices for portable electronics as well as intermittent and pulsed power outputs of TENGs. A wide range of energy storage devices including supercapacitors and batteries have proved to be promising in combining TENGs to form SCPSs. Impactful applications of such SCPSs in the Internet of Things and portable/wearable electronics have been demonstrated in recent studies. In this chapter, the current progress of energy storage technologies for TENGs is reviewed. Based on the different types of energy storage devices, including capacitors, supercapacitors, and rechargeable batteries, their charging characteristics, energy utilization efficiencies, and possible integration with TENGs via materials or structural design are presented. Some special points particularly related to pulsed charging of supercapacitors and batteries, such as self-discharge, rate performance, frequency response, and lithium dendrite growth, are highlighted. Lastly, the future perspectives and challenges of energy storage for TENGs are discussed.
