Abstract

The need for power technology that improves human life and convenience is driving the demand for increased energy consumption. At present, fossil fuels are the primary source of energy that meets the energy demand of mankind. However, they are also the main cause of environmental pollution. Therefore, it is imperative to develop technology that can harness energy from renewable sources to replace fossil fuels. One promising technology that has gained significant attention is the droplet nanogenerators, which harvest energy from various forms of water. This technology has grown in popularity due to its straightforward design, low fabrication cost, and high output power, which is sufficient to power small electronic devices sustainably. With innovative structures and various fundamental materials, droplet nanogenerators’ performance can be improved, which leads to the expansion of their application areas. This review summarizes recent advancements in droplet nanogenerators, including mechanisms, output performance, and applications. Finally, the challenges and opportunities associated with droplet nanogenerators are briefly discussed.
