Handbook of Triboelectric Nanogenerators

Abstract

The limited battery life of implantable medical electronic devices makes it difficult to provide long-term and uninterrupted monitoring and treatment for patients. The implantable triboelectric nanogenerators (iTENGs) can collect energy such as heartbeat, breathing, and muscle movement in vivo and transform it into electricity, which solves the problem of limited battery life of implantable medical electronic devices. This chapter introduced the characteristics of iTENGs for implantable medical science, and reviewed the application of iTENGs in implantable medical electronic devices from three aspects: biomechanical energy harvest, physiological signal acquisition, and electrical stimulation therapy. The future development of implantable medical electronic devices based on iTENGs was prospected from the energy harvesting and storage management of implantable medical electronic devices and the long-term biocompatibility of implants.
