Abstract
High-entropy energy is a class of massive and ubiquitous energy in the environment, that is not yet to be fully exploited due to the low frequency, poor-quality and randomness. Meanwhile, the serious technical difficulties for existing candidate energy conversion technologies must be faced, such as low efficiency, complicated structure and high cost. In this context, triboelectric nanogenerator offers a new chance that has potential of solving the challenges, in which the cylindrical triboelectric nanogenerators (C-TENGs) possess remarkable advantages in this field due to diverse structure and characteristics. This paper gives the data summarization, discussion and analysis of C-TENGs with the structure design, triboelectric materials, electrical output and essential technical features. In addition, the existing and potential applications of C-TENGs are distinguished according to the adaptation of morphology, structure and generalization performance. Furthermore, some potential coping strategies to challenges to be addressed towards the large-scale application and commercialization are discussed.
期刊介绍:
Nano Energy is a multidisciplinary, rapid-publication forum of original peer-reviewed contributions on the science and engineering of nanomaterials and nanodevices used in all forms of energy harvesting, conversion, storage, utilization and policy. Through its mixture of articles, reviews, communications, research news, and information on key developments, Nano Energy provides a comprehensive coverage of this exciting and dynamic field which joins nanoscience and nanotechnology with energy science. The journal is relevant to all those who are interested in nanomaterials solutions to the energy problem.
Nano Energy publishes original experimental and theoretical research on all aspects of energy-related research which utilizes nanomaterials and nanotechnology. Manuscripts of four types are considered: review articles which inform readers of the latest research and advances in energy science; rapid communications which feature exciting research breakthroughs in the field; full-length articles which report comprehensive research developments; and news and opinions which comment on topical issues or express views on the developments in related fields.
