Self-powered and speed-adjustable sensor for abyssal ocean current measurements based on triboelectric nanogenerators. Nat Commun 2024; 15:6133. [PMID: 39033189 PMCID: PMC11271462 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-50581-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2023] [Accepted: 07/15/2024] [Indexed: 07/23/2024] Open
Abstract
The monitoring of currents in the abyssal ocean is an essential foundation of deep-sea research. The state-of-the-art current meter has limitations such as the requirement of a power supply for signal transduction, low pressure resistance, and a narrow measurement range. Here, we report a fully integrated, self-powered, highly sensitive deep-sea current measurement system in which the ultra-sensitive triboelectric nanogenerator harvests ocean current energy for the self-powered sensing of tiny current motions down to 0.02 m/s. Through an unconventional magnetic coupling structure, the system withstands immense hydrostatic pressure exceeding 45 MPa. A variable-spacing structure broadens the measuring range to 0.02-6.69 m/s, which is 67% wider than that of commercial alternatives. The system successfully operates at a depth of 4531 m in the South China Sea, demonstrating the record-deep operations of triboelectric nanogenerator-based sensors in deep-sea environments. Our results show promise for sustainable ocean current monitoring with higher spatiotemporal resolution.

Abstract
Experimental and simulation studies demonstrated that the initial voltage setting significantly influences the open-circuit voltage (VOC) in triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs). Utilizing diode configurations, we consistently observed two distinct VOCs independent of the initial settings. A lower VOC corresponded to the surface voltage (VSurface), while a higher VOC was amplified by the product of the VSurface and the TENG's characteristic impedance ratio. Notably, a lower measurement system capacitance provided a more precise representation of the inherent characteristics of the TENG. Conversely, an increase in system impedance led to a convergence of the two VOCs and a reduction in their magnitudes relative to VSurface. These findings suggest that optimizing the initial/repeated charge balancing and minimizing capacitive loads are crucial for maximizing TENG output power in practical applications.

Abstract
Solar panels often suffer from dust accumulation, significantly reducing their output, especially in desert regions where many of the world's largest solar plants are located. Here, an autonomous dust removal system for solar panels, powered by a wind-driven rotary electret generator is proposed. The generator applies a high voltage between one solar panel's output electrode and an upper mesh electrode to generate a strong electrostatic field. It is discovered that dust particles on the insulative glass cover of the panel can be charged under the high electrical field, assisted by adsorbed water, even in low-humidity environments. The charged particles are subsequently repelled from the solar panel with the significant Coulomb force. Two panels covered with sand dust are cleaned in only 6.6 min by a 15 cm diameter rotary electret generator at 1.6 m s-1 wind speed. Experimental results manifest that the system can work effectively in a wide range of environmental conditions, and doesn't impact the panel performance for long-term operation. This autonomous system, with its high dust removal efficiency, simplicity, and low cost, holds great potential in practical applications.

Abstract
Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) are useful devices for converting mechanical motion into electric current using readily available materials. Though the applications for these devices span across many fields, TENG can be leveraged for mass spectrometry (MS) as inexpensive and effective power supplies for pulsed nanoelectrospray ionization (nESI). The inherently discontinuous spray provided by TENG is particularly useful in scenarios where high sample economy is imperative, as in the case of ultraprecious samples. Previous work has shown the utility of TENG MS as a highly sensitive technique capable of yielding quality spectra from only a few microliters of sample at low micromolar concentrations. As the field of miniaturized, fieldable mass spectrometers grows, it remains critical to develop advanced ion sources with similarly small power requirements and footprints. Here, we present a redesigned TENG ion source with a sub-1000 USD material cost, lower power consumption, reduced footprint, and improved capabilities. We validate the performance of this new device for a diverse set of applications, including lipid double bond localization and native protein analysis.

ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2024; 36:e2313878.

Abstract
Controllable droplet manipulation is crucial in diverse scientific and engineering fields. Traditional electric-based methods usually rely on commercial high-voltage (HV) power sources, which are typically bulky, expensive, and potentially hazardous. The triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is a highly studied device that can generate HV output with limited current, showing great potential in droplet manipulation applications. However, current TENG-based approaches usually utilize traditional free-standing TENGs that produce short-pulsed alternating-current signals. This limitation hinders continuous electrostatic forces necessary for precise droplet control, leading to complex circuitry and suboptimal droplet motion control in terms of volume, distance, direction, and momentum. Here, a triboelectric contactless charge injection (TCCI) method employing a novel dual-functional triboelectric nanogenerator (DF-TENG), is proposed. The DF-TENG can produce both high voltage and constant current during unidirectional motion, enabling continuous corona discharges for contactless charge injection into the droplets. Using this method, a large-volume droplet (3000 µL) can be controlled with momentum up to 115.2 g mm s-1, quintupling the highest value recorded by the traditional methods. Moreover, the TCCI method is adaptable for a variety of non-slippery substrates and droplets of different compositions and viscosities, which makes it an ideal manipulation strategy for droplet transport, chemical reactions, and even driving solids.

Abstract
Flow sensing exhibits significant potential for monitoring, controlling, and optimizing processes in industries, resource management, and environmental protection. However, achieving wireless real-time and omnidirectional sensing of gas/liquid flow on a simple, self-contained device without external power support has remained a formidable challenge. In this study, a compact-sized, fully self-powered wireless sensing flowmeter (CSWF) is introduced with a small size diameter of down to less than 50 mm, which can transmit real-time and omnidirectional wireless signals, as driven by a rotating triboelectric nanogenerator (R-TENG). The R-TENG triggers the breakdown discharge of a gas discharge tube (GDT), which enables flow rate wireless sensing through emitted electromagnetic waves. Importantly, the performance of the CSWF is not affected by the R-TENG's varied output, while the transmission distance is greater than 10 m. Real-time wireless remote monitoring of wind speed and water flow rate is successfully demonstrated. This research introduces an approach to achieve a wireless, self-powered environmental monitoring system with a diverse range of potential applications, including prolonged meteorological observations, marine environment monitoring, early warning systems for natural disasters, and remote ecosystem monitoring.

Abstract
Atomically thin, few-layered membranes of oxides show unique physical and chemical properties compared to their bulk forms. Manganese oxide (Mn3O4) membranes are exfoliated from the naturally occurring mineral Hausmannite and used to make flexible, high-performance nanogenerators (NGs). An enhanced power density in the membrane NG is observed with the best-performing device showing a power density of 7.99 mW m-2 compared to 1.04 µW m-2 in bulk Mn3O4. A sensitivity of 108 mV kPa-1 for applied forces <10 N in the membrane NG is observed. The improved performance of these NGs is attributed to enhanced flexoelectric response in a few layers of Mn3O4. Using first-principles calculations, the flexoelectric coefficients of monolayer and bilayer Mn3O4 are found to be 50-100 times larger than other 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs). Using a model based on classical beam theory, an increasing activation of the bending mode with decreasing thickness of the oxide membranes is observed, which in turn leads to a large flexoelectric response. As a proof-of-concept, flexible NGs using exfoliated Mn3O4 membranes are made and used in self-powered paper-based devices. This research paves the way for the exploration of few-layered membranes of other centrosymmetric oxides for application as energy harvesters.

Abstract
The demand for analytical tools for the analysis of low-concentration volume-limited samples has driven researchers to explore new analytical approaches. Mass spectrometry excels at trace analysis due to its high sensitivity and specificity, whereas ambient methods simplify, or completely eliminate sample preparation. Herein, we report a triboelectric nanogenerator-coated blade spray ambient mass spectrometry (TENG-CBS MS) method for the extraction, elution, and ionization of volume-limited, low-concentration small molecule drug samples with minimum sample preparation. Using a TENG device as the CBS power supply, we show it is possible to extract and analyze drug samples in a pulsed fashion at sub-nanogram to picogram levels with good stability and reproducibility. A wide range of analytes polarities were tested. Results indicated this method could also be useful for the analysis of low-level analytes in precious, volume limited samples in a simple single step.

Abstract
Electrospray ionization (ESI) is one of the most popular methods to generate ions for mass spectrometry (MS). When compared with other ionization techniques, it can generate ions from liquid-phase samples without additives, retaining covalent and non-covalent interactions of the molecules of interest. When hyphenated to liquid chromatography, it greatly expands the versatility of MS analysis of complex mixtures. However, despite the extensive growth in the application of ESI, the technique still suffers from some drawbacks when powered by direct current (DC) power supplies. Triboelectric nanogenerators promise to be a new power source for the generation of ions by ESI, improving on the analytical capabilities of traditional DC ESI. In this review we highlight the fundamentals of ESI driven by DC power supplies, its contrasting qualities to triboelectric nanogenerator power supplies, and its applications to three distinct fields of research: forensics, metabolomics, and protein structure analysis.

Abstract
Electronically controlled droplet manipulation has widespread applications in biochemistry, life sciences, and industry. However, current technologies such as electrowetting, electrostatics, and surface charge printing rely on complex electrode arrays and external power supplies, leading to inefficient manipulation. In light of these limitations, a novel method is proposed, which leverages tribo-electrophoresis (TEP) to pipette in an oil medium, thereby enabling human-droplet interactions to be constructed with greater efficiency. The approach involves the rational design of a triboelectric nanogenerator-electrostatic tweezer that generates an electric field to charge the droplet and improves the maneuverability of the charged droplet, including aligned/non-aligned pipetting and stable transport in the clamped state, which can be accomplished solely by hand motion. The TEP method not only provides droplets with freedom to move in three dimensions but also offers a feasibility case for chemical reactions in the liquid phase and non-invasive sample extraction. This breakthrough establishes a cornerstone for human-droplet interactions capitalized on triboelectric nanogenerators, opening new avenues for research in droplet manipulation.

Abstract
Isopropyl alcohol molecules, as a biomarker for anti-virus diagnosis, play a significant role in the area of environmental safety and healthcare relating volatile organic compounds. However, conventional gas molecule detection exhibits dramatic drawbacks, like the strict working conditions of ion mobility methodology and weak light-matter interaction of mid-infrared spectroscopy, yielding limited response of targeted molecules. We propose a synergistic methodology of artificial intelligence-enhanced ion mobility and mid-infrared spectroscopy, leveraging the complementary features from the sensing signal in different dimensions to reach superior accuracy for isopropyl alcohol identification. We pull in "cold" plasma discharge from triboelectric generator which improves the mid-infrared spectroscopic response of isopropyl alcohol with good regression prediction. Moreover, this synergistic methodology achieves ~99.08% accuracy for a precise gas concentration prediction, even with interferences of different carbon-based gases. The synergistic methodology of artificial intelligence-enhanced system creates mechanism of accurate gas sensing for mixture and regression prediction in healthcare.

Abstract
The relatively low output performance of triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG), which faces a challenge in performance improvement, limits its practical applications. Here, a high-performance TENG consisting of a silicon carbide@silicon dioxide nanowhiskers/polydimethylsiloxane (SiC@SiO2/PDMS) nanocomposite film and a superhydrophobic aluminum (Al) plate as triboelectric layers is demonstrated. The 7 wt% SiC@SiO2/PDMS TENG presents a peak voltage of 200 V and a peak current of 30 μA, which are ~ 300 and ~ 500% over that of the PDMS TENG, owing to an increase in dielectric constant and a decrease in dielectric loss of the PDMS film because of electric insulated SiC@SiO2 nanowhiskers. Furthermore, a 10 μF capacitor can be charged up to 3 V within ~ 87 s, which can be continuously operated on the electronic watch for 14 s. The work provides an effective strategy for improving output performance of TENG by adding core-shell nanowhiskers to modulate the dielectric properties of organic materials.

Abstract
A bipolar ESI source is developed to generate a simultaneous emission of charged liquid jets of opposite polarity from an electrodeless sprayer. The sprayer consists of two emitters, and the electrosprays are initiated by applying a high potential difference (HV) across the counter electrodes facing each emitter. The sprayer and the liquid delivery system are made of all insulators without metal components, thus enabling the total elimination of electrochemical reactions taking place at the liquid-electrode interface in the typical electrosprayer. The bipolar electrospray has been implemented using an online configuration that uses a syringe pump for flow rate regulation and an offline configuration that relies on HV for adjusting the flow rate. The voltage-current and flow rate-current relationships of bipolar electrospray were found to be similar to the standard electrospray. The application of bipolar ESI to the mass spectrometry of protein, peptide, and metallocene without electrochemically induced oxidation/reduction is demonstrated.

Abstract
The triboelectric series is a generally accepted method for describing the triboelectric effect. It provides a way to control the double face of the ubiquitous triboelectric effect: causes of unpredictable accidents and the resultant surface charge as energy sources. However, previous studies have been biased in solids despite being observed in liquids (liquid-solid contact electrification). Therefore, a liquid triboelectric series is necessary to be established to manipulate the liquid triboelectric effect according to the appropriate goal. In this study, a liquid triboelectric series is first established to describe the triboelectric properties of each liquid when contact electrification occurs with a solid surface. The liquid triboelectric series covers electrolytes, organic solvents, oxidants, and higher sugar alcohols. Common chemical groups can be derived from the liquid triboelectric series that hydroxyl groups enhance, and benzene groups suppress the liquid triboelectric effect. The results are demonstrated by the amplified efficiency of an energy harvester and particle contamination after surface washing. This study will play a pivotal role in understanding the liquid-solid contact electrification phenomenon and providing new perspectives on the applications of the liquid triboelectric effect.

Abstract
Traditional alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), which are implemented via the pairwise coupling of triboelectrification, electrostatic induction, and electrostatic discharge, have been widely explored in various fields. In this work, the comprehensive integration and synergetic utilization of triboelectrification, electrostatic induction, and electrostatic discharge in a single device for the first time is realized, achieving a dual-functional TENG (DF-TENG) to produce an AC/DC convertible output. Distinguishing from the conventional TENGs, the coupling of triboelectrification and electrostatic discharge enables charge circulation between the dielectric tribo-layers, while electrostatic induction realizes charge transfer in the external circuit. This novel energy conversion mechanism has been proven to be applicable to a variety of materials, including polymers, fabrics, and semiconductors. The output mode of the DF-TENG can be tuned by adjusting the slider motion state, and its constant output current and power density can reach 1.51 mA m-2 Hz-1 and 398 mW m-2 Hz-1 , respectively, which are the highest records reported for constant DC-TENGs to date. This work not only provides a paradigm shift to achieve AC/DC convertible output, but it also exhibits high potential for extending the TENG design philosophy.

Abstract
Lab-on-a-chip systems aim to integrate laboratory operations on a miniaturized device with broad application prospects in the field of point-of-care testing. However, bulky peripheral power resources, such as high-voltage supplies, function generators, and amplifiers, hamper the commercialization of the system. In this work, a portable, self-powered microparticle manipulation platform based on triboelectrically driven dielectrophoresis (DEP) is reported. A rotary freestanding triboelectric nanogenerator (RF-TENG) and rectifier/filter circuit supply a high-voltage direct-current signal to form a non-uniform electric field within the microchannel, realizing controllable actuation of the microparticles through DEP. The operating mechanism of this platform and the control performance of the moving particles are systematically studied and analyzed. Randomly distributed particles converge in a row after passing through the serpentine channel and various particles are separated owing to the different DEP forces. Ultimately, the high-efficiency separation of live and dead yeast cells is achieved using this platform. RF-TENG as the power source for lab-on-a-chip exhibits better safety and portability than traditional high-voltage power sources. This study presents a promising solution for the commercialization of lab-on-a-chip.

Abstract
The most common size range of particulate matter (PM) in tobacco smoke is 1.0 to 5.0 microns; however, a high number of the most harmful PM is as small as 0.5 micron that is a serious threat to human health, and it is difficult to remove. There is an urgent need to develop a new purification technology for high-efficiency removing tobacco smoke with easily construction and low cost. Here, a method of self-powered high-voltage recharging system is demonstrated by designing biomimetic hairy-contact triboelectric nanogenerator (BHC-TENG) for long-lasting adsorption with a wide range from PM 0.5 to PM 10. The open-circuit voltage of BHC-TENGs reaches 8.42 KV, which can continuously charge injection to the melt-blown fabric, whose surface potential is able to maintain nearly 260 V level and create a uniform electrostatic adsorption field on the surface. This high-voltage recharging system reduces the concentration of PMs to World Health Organization (WHO) standards, maintaining the purification efficiency of PM 0.5- PM 10 persistently over 90%.

Roadmap to sustainable plastic waste management: a focused study on recycling PET for triboelectric nanogenerator production in Singapore and India.

Abstract
This study explores the implications of plastic waste and recycling management on recyclates for manufacturing clean-energy harvesting devices. The focus is on a comparative analysis of using recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) for triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) production, in two densely populated Asian countries of large economies, namely Singapore and India. Of the total 930,000 tonnes of plastic waste generated in Singapore in 2019, only 4% were recycled and the rest were incinerated. In comparison, India yielded 8.6 million tonnes of plastic waste and 70% were recycled. Both countries have strict recycling goals and have instituted different waste and recycling management regulations. The findings show that the waste policies and legislations, responsibilities and heterogeneity in collection systems and infrastructure of the respective country are the pivotal attributes to successful recycling. Challenges to recycle plastic include segregation, adulterants and macromolecular structure degradation which could influence the recyclate properties and pose challenges for manufacturing products. A model was developed to evaluate the economic value and mechanical potential of PET recyclate. The model predicted a 30% loss of material performance and a 65% loss of economic value after the first recycling cycle. The economic value depreciates to zero with decreasing mechanical performance of plastic after multiple recycling cycles. For understanding how TENG technology could be incorporated into the circular economy, a model has estimated about 20 million and 7300 billion pieces of aerogel mats can be manufactured from the PET bottles disposed in Singapore and India, respectively which were sufficient to produce small-scale TENG devices for all peoples in both countries.

Abstract
Triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) as a new energy harvester has attracted significant attention due to its excellent output performance and high energy conversion efficiency at low-frequency, small-amplitude and weak-force compared with a traditional electromagnetic generator. Here, an ultraweak mechanical stimuli actuated single electrode triboelectric nanogenerator (UMA-TENG) has been studied with an atomic force microscope. The electrical output and force curve of UMA-TENG were studied at first, as well as the maximum output performance and highest energy conversion efficiency. Then the influence of the driving frequency, separation distance and motion amplitude was investigated, respectively. Moreover, by introducing an external switch to reach a cycle of maximized energy output, the maximum energy conversion efficiency of the UMA-TENG was up to 73.6% with an input mechanical energy of 48 pJ. This work demonstrates that the TENG shows excellent performance in ultraweak mechanical stimuli and could broaden the applications of the TENG in sensors, actuators, micro-robotics, micro-electro-mechanical-systems, and wearable electronics.

Abstract
Self-powered detectors based on triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) have been considered because of their capability to convert ambient mechanical energy to electrical out-put signal, instead of conventional usage of electrochemical batteries as power sources. In this regard, the self-powered photodetectors have been designed through totally two lay out called passive and active circuit. in former model, impedance matching between the TENG and the resistance of the circuit's elements is crucial, which is not investigated systematically till now. In this paper, a cost effective novel planar photodetector (PD) based on heterojunction of SnS2 sheets and Cs0.05(FA0.83 MA0.17)0.95Pb(I0.83Br0.17)3 three cationic lead iodide based perovskite (PVK) layer fabricated which powered by graphene oxide (GO) paper and Kapton based contact-separated TENG (CS-TENG). To achieve the high performance of this device, the proper range of the load resistances in the circuit regards to TENG's characterization has been studied. In the next steps, the integrated self-powered photo-detection system was designed by applying Kapton/FTO and hand/FTO TENG, separately, in the proposed impedance matching circuit. The calculated D* of integrated self-powered SnS2/PVK supplied by tapping the Kapton and hand on FTO is 2.83 × 1010 and 1.10 × 1013 Jones under the 10 mW/cm2 of white light intensity, the investigations determine that for designing significate performance of self-powered PD supplied by TENG, the existence of the load resistance with the well match amount to the utilized TENG is crucial. Our results which can be generalized to other types of passive self-powered sensors, are substantial to both academia and industry concepts.

Abstract
The progress of spontaneous energy generation from ubiquitous moisture is hindered the low output current and intermittent operating voltage of the moisture-electric generators. Herein a novel and efficient ionic hydrogel moisture-electric generator (IHMEG) is developed by rational combination of poly(vinyl alcohol), phytic acid, and glycerol-water binary solvent. Thanks to the synergistic effect of notable moisture-absorption capability and fast ion transport capability in the ionic hydrogel network, a single IHMEG unit of 0.25 cm2 can continuously generate direct-current electricity with a constant open-circuit voltage of ≈0.8 V for over 1000 h, a high short-current density of 0.24 mA cm-2 , and power density of up to 35 µW cm-2 . Of great importance is that large-scale integration of IHMEG units can be readily accomplished to offer a device with voltage up to 210 V, capable of directly driving numerous commercial electronics, including electronic ink screen, metal electrodeposition setup, and light-emitting-diode arrays. Such prominent performance is mainly attributed to the enhanced moisture-liberated proton diffusion proved by experimental observation and theoretical analysis. The ionic hydrogel with high cost-efficiency, easy-to-scaleup fabrication, and high power-output opens a brand-new perspective to develop a green, versatile, and efficient power source for Internet-of-Things and wearable electronics.

Abstract
Wave motion in the ocean can generate plentiful energy, but it is difficult to harvest wave energy for practical use because of the low frequency and random directional characteristics of wave motion. In this paper, a gyroscope-structured triboelectric nanogenerator (GS-TENG) is proposed for harvesting multidirectional ocean wave energy. Its inner and outer generation units can operate independently in different directions, and they all adopt the friction mode of surface contact. While realizing noninterference multidirectional energy harvesting, the power generation area is increased. In the experiments, under acceleration of 6 m/s2 with variations in excitation angle, the GS-TENG can output direct currents of 0.8-3.2 μA, and the open-circuit voltages of the inner and outer generation units can reach 730 and 160 V, respectively. When the devices are networked and placed in the water, the electrical energy generated by the GS-TENGs can enable commercial thermometers to operate normally. The attenuation of direct-current output by the GS-TENG in the experiment of 30 days in water is about 8%, which verifies the good durability of the device in the water environment. Therefore, the GS-TENG has excellent application prospects in the wave energy harvesting field.

Abstract
Many metabolites, including amino acids, neurotransmitters, and pharmaceuticals, contain primary amine functional groups. The analysis of these molecules by mass spectrometry (MS) plays an important role in the study of cancers and psychogenic diseases. However, the MS-based detection and visualization of these bioactive metabolites directly from real biological systems still suffer from challenges such as low ionization efficiency and/or matrix interference effects. Here, we introduce a simple and efficient strategy, the nanosecond photochemical reaction (nsPCR)-enabled fast chemical derivatization, enabling direct MS analysis of primary amine-containing metabolites, with enhanced detection sensitivity for numerous metabolites from cell culture medium and rat brain sections. Furthermore, this nsPCR-based chemical derivatization strategy was demonstrated to be a useful visualizing tool that could provide improved spatial information for these metabolites, potentially offering alternative tools for gaining novel insights into metabolic events.

Abstract
The triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) has been invented as a technology for harvesting mechanical energy, as well as for allocating quantized charge for scientific instruments. The charge generation of the TENG is mainly related to the triboelectric effect or contact electrification (CE) as usually described by the potential-well-electron-cloud model, while the triboelectric charge transfer is related to the difference in the occupied energy levels of electrons. However, in our experiment, we observed an abnormal triboelectric charge generation phenomena between ternary materials, which cannot be explained by the occupied energy level difference only. To address this issue, we proposed the model based on the density of surface states (DOSS) as another key contributing factor to the triboelectric charge generation. To demonstrate our model, we introduced an approach to measure the DOSS through applying external electric field between two triboelectric surfaces. Our experiments confirmed the contribution of the DOSS to the triboelectric charge generation, with the derived charge density consistent with the measured results, which verified our model. We also predicted that the FEP has the potential to achieve a high charge density of ∼5.6 × 10-4 C/m2, which is close to the reported maximum values. This study provides another key contributing factor to the triboelectric charge generation, which may provide a more complete model for guiding the material selection and modification to tailor the surface charge generated by the CE.

Abstract
Deep mining the proteome of trace biological samples is critical for biomedical applications. However, it remains a challenge due to the loss of analytes caused by current sample preparation procedures. To address this, we recently developed a single-pot and miniaturized in-solution digestion (SMID) method for minute sample handling with three streamlined steps and completed within 3 h. The SMID approach outperformed the traditional workflow in substantially saving time, reducing sample loss, and exhibiting extensive applicability for 10-100 000 cell analysis. This user-friendly and high-sensitivity strategy enables ∼5300 proteins and 53 000 peptides to be confidently identified within 1 h of mass spectrometry (MS) time from a small amount of 1000 HeLa cells. In addition, we accurately and robustly detected proteomes in 10 mouse oocytes with excellent reproducibility. We further adopted SMID for the proteome analysis in cell migration under confinement, which induced cells to undergo a mesenchymal-amoeboid transition (MAT). During the MAT, a systematic quantitative proteome map of 1000 HeLa cells was constructed with seven expression profile clusters, which illustrated the application of SMID and provided a fundamental resource to investigate the mechanism of MAT.

Abstract
Oxidation reactions play a critical role in processes involving energy utilization, chemical conversion, and pollutant elimination. However, due to its spin-forbidden nature, the reaction of molecular dioxygen (O2) with a substrate is difficult under mild conditions. Herein, we describe a system that activates O2 via the direct modulation of its spin state by mechanical energy-induced triboelectric corona plasma, enabling the CO oxidation reaction under normal temperature and pressure. Under optimized reaction conditions, the activity was 7.2 μmol h-1, and the energy consumption per mole CO was 4.2 MJ. The results of kinetic isotope effect, colorimetry, and density functional theory calculation studies demonstrated that electrons generated in the triboelectric plasma were directly injected into the antibonding orbital of O2 to form highly reactive negative ions O2-, which effectively promoted the rate-limiting step of O2 dissociation. The barrier of the reaction of O2- ions and CO molecular was 3.4 eV lower than that of O2 and CO molecular. This work provides an effective strategy for using renewable and green mechanical energy to realize spin-forbidden reactions of small molecules.

Abstract
This work reports a new approach to amending polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) by supporting α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles (NPs), thereby generating a material suitable for use as a negative triboelectric material. Additionally, human hair exhibits a profound triboelectrification effect and is a natural regenerative substance, and it was processed into a film to be used as a positive triboelectric material. Spatial distribution of α-Fe2O3 NPs, the special surface morphologies of a negative tribological layer containing nano-clefts with controlled sizes and a valley featuring a positive tribolayer based on human hair made it possible to demonstrate facile and scalable fabrication of a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) presenting enhanced performance; this nanogenerator produced a mean peak-to-peak voltage of 370.8 V and a mean output power density of 247.2 μW cm-2 in the vertical contact-separation mode. This study elucidates the fundamental charge transfer mechanism governing the triboelectrification efficiency and its use in harvesting electricity for the further development of powerful TENGs suitable for integration into wearable electronics and self-charging power cells, and the work also illustrates a recycling bioeconomy featuring systematic utilization of human hair waste as a regenerative resource for nature and society.

Abstract
Electroosmotic pumps have been widely used in microfluidic systems. However, traditional high-voltage (HV)-sources are bulky in size and induce numerous accessional reactions, which largely reduce the system's portability and efficiency. Herein, a motion-controlled, highly efficient micro-flow pump based on triboelectricity driven electroosmosis is reported. Utilizing the triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG), a strong electric field can be formed between two electrodes in the microfluidic channel with an electric double layer, thus driving the controllable electroosmotic flow by biomechanical movements. The performance and operation mechanism of this triboelectric electroosmotic pump (TEOP) is systematically studied and analyzed using a basic free-standing mode TENG. The TEOP produces ≈600 nL min-1 micro-flow with a Joule heat down to 1.76 J cm-3 nL-1 compared with ≈50 nL min-1 and 8.12 J cm-3 nL-1 for an HV-source. The advantages of economy, efficiency, portability, and safety render the TEOP a more conducive option to achieve wider applications in motion-activated micro/nanofluidic transportation and manipulation.

Abstract
Environmentally adaptive power generation is attractive for the development of next-generation energy sources. Here we develop a heterogeneous moisture-enabled electric generator (HMEG) based on a bilayer of polyelectrolyte films. Through the spontaneous adsorption of water molecules in air and induced diffusion of oppositely charged ions, one single HMEG unit can produce a high voltage of ~0.95 V at low (25%) relative humidity (RH), and even jump to 1.38 V at 85% RH. A sequentially aligned stacking strategy is created for large-scale integration of HMEG units, to offer a voltage of more than 1,000 V under ambient conditions (25% RH, 25 °C). Using origami assembly, a small section of folded HMEGs renders an output of up to 43 V cm-3. Such integration devices supply sufficient power to illuminate a lamp bulb of 10 W, to drive a dynamic electronic ink screen and to control the gate voltage for a self-powered field effect transistor.

Abstract
Ion mobility analysis is a well-known analytical technique for identifying gas-phase compounds in fast-response gas-monitoring systems. However, the conventional plasma discharge system is bulky, operates at a high temperature, and inappropriate for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) concentration detection. Therefore, we report a machine learning (ML)-enhanced ion mobility analyzer with a triboelectric-based ionizer, which offers good ion mobility selectivity and VOC recognition ability with a small-sized device and non-strict operating environment. Based on the charge accumulation mechanism, a multi-switched manipulation triboelectric nanogenerator (SM-TENG) can provide a direct current (DC) bias at the order of a few hundred, which can be further leveraged as the power source to obtain a unique and repeatable discharge characteristic of different VOCs, and their mixtures, with a special tip-plate electrode configuration. Aiming to tackle the grand challenge in the detection of multiple VOCs, the ML-enhanced ion mobility analysis method was successfully demonstrated by extracting specific features automatically from ion mobility spectrometry data with ML algorithms, which significantly enhance the detection ability of the SM-TENG based VOC analyzer, showing a portable real-time VOC monitoring solution with rapid response and low power consumption for future internet of things based environmental monitoring applications.

Abstract
Air-transmitted pathogens may cause severe epidemics showing huge threats to public health. Microbial inactivation in the air is essential, whereas the feasibility of existing air disinfection technologies meets challenges including only achieving physical separation but no inactivation, obvious pressure drops, and energy intensiveness. Here we report a rapid disinfection method toward air-transmitted bacteria and viruses using the nanowire-enhanced localized electric field to damage the outer structures of microbes. This air disinfection system is driven by a triboelectric nanogenerator that converts mechanical vibration to electricity effectively and achieves self-powered. Assisted by a rational design for the accelerated charging and trapping of microbes, this air disinfection system promotes microbial transport and achieves high performance: >99.99% microbial inactivation within 0.025 s in a fast airflow (2 m/s) while only causing low pressure drops (<24 Pa). This rapid, self-powered air disinfection method may fill the urgent need for air-transmitted microbial inactivation to protect public health.

Abstract
The color-tuning capability of solid-state lighting (SSL) systems are highly demanded for smart lighting according to the environmental conditions, as well as wireless sensing of the environmental information. In the meanwhile, state-of-the-art triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG)-based sensing systems rely on bulky and expensive devices, which require cable connections and additional power consumptions. This work aims at solving these challenges, through developing a tribo-induced color tuner that can be integrated into the vastly distributed commercial SSL system. This tribo-induced color tuner includes a concentric color conversion plate consisting of (Sr,Ca)AlSiN3:Eu phosphor and TiO2, a tribo-induced liquid lens, and a rotary freestanding sliding TENG. The color oscillation between purple and pink is achieved upon the tribo-charging by the TENG, which reveals the input mechanical motion signals. The signal can be conveniently sent by everywhere-existed lamps and processed by everyone-owned smartphone cameras or closed-circuit televisions. Through this approach, the function of wireless sensing is achieved without the need of preamplification, with no additional power supply required, as demonstrated for wireless sensing of the rotation speed. The smart lighting for underwater photographing is also demonstrated by the color-tunable SSL system with the best imaging quality achieved.

Abstract
Air-flow sensing is essential in broad applications of weather forecasting, ocean monitoring, gas leakage alarming, and health monitoring. However, in severe environments where electrical power supply and cable connection are not available, the sensing of air flow in a self-powered way is a challenging issue. In this work, we reported a tribo-induced smart reflector to achieve the self-powered wireless sensing of the air flow by combining an aerodynamics-driven triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) and a silver-coated polymer network liquid crystal. Upon being driven by the air flow, the developed reflector performed specular and diffused reflectance without and with charging by the TENG, respectively, enabling wireless sensing through mechanical-electrical-optical signal conversion. In the developed sensing paradigm, the sensing module can be fully self-powered without the need of signal pre-amplification, which is electrically separated from the light source and detection modules without cable connections. The applications of self-powered wireless wind speed sensing and breath monitoring were performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed paradigm toward self-powered wireless sensing nodes in the internet of things.

Abstract
Miniaturized or microscale generators that can effectively convert weak and random mechanical energy into electricity have significant potential to provide solutions for the power supply problem of distributed devices. However, owing to the common occurrence of friction and wear, all such generators developed so far have failed to simultaneously achieve sufficiently high current density and sufficiently long lifetime, which are crucial for real-world applications. To address this issue, we invent a microscale Schottky superlubric generator (S-SLG), such that the sliding contact between microsized graphite flakes and n-type silicon is in a structural superlubric state (an ultra-low friction and wearless state). The S-SLG not only generates high current (~210 Am-2) and power (~7 Wm-2) densities, but also achieves a long lifetime of at least 5,000 cycles, while maintaining stable high electrical current density (~119 Am-2). No current decay and wear are observed during the experiment, indicating that the actual persistence of the S-SLG is enduring or virtually unlimited. By excluding the mechanism of friction-induced excitation in the S-SLG, we further demonstrate an electronic drift process during relative sliding using a quasi-static semiconductor finite element simulation. Our work may guide and accelerate the future use of S-SLGs in real-world applications.

Abstract
Lipids play a critical role in cell membrane integrity, signaling, and energy storage. However, in-depth structural characterization of lipids is still challenging and not routinely possible in lipidomics experiments. Techniques such as collision-induced dissociation (CID) tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), ion mobility (IM) spectrometry, and ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography are not yet capable of fully characterizing double-bond and sn-chain position of lipids in a high-throughput manner. Herein, we report on the ability to structurally characterize lipids using large-area triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) coupled with time-aligned parallel (TAP) fragmentation IM-MS analysis. Gas-phase lipid epoxidation during TENG ionization, coupled to mobility-resolved MS3 via TAP IM-MS, enabled the acquisition of detailed information on the presence and position of lipid C═C double bonds, the fatty acyl sn-chain position and composition, and the cis/trans geometrical C═C isomerism. The proposed methodology proved useful for the shotgun lipidomics analysis of lipid extracts from biological samples, enabling the detailed annotation of numerous lipid isobars.

Abstract
Electrospray ionization (ESI) has become a powerful tool for the analysis of biomolecules by mass spectrometry (MS). The process of ESI is difficult to control, and side reactions such as electrochemical reactions can occur during the ESI process because of the high voltages applied. Herein, a novel on-demand MS analysis method was developed based on discontinuous ion injection-induced ESI on a miniature MS system. Highly efficient ionization was enabled under low voltages (<300 V) using a discontinuous atmospheric pressure interface. On-demand ionization showed comparable sensitivity with regular nanoESI for the analyses of a series of compounds. It was found to be softer than regular ESI or nanoESI methods for ionization of proteins such as myoglobin and cytochrome C. As the ionization finished as soon as the interface was closed, the sample consumption was observed to reduce significantly for MS analysis, allowing single-cell analysis with multiple MS and MS/MS measurements.

Abstract
Generation of current or potential at nanostructures using appropriate stimuli is one of the futuristic methods of energy generation. We developed an ambient soft ionization method for mass spectrometry using 2D-MoS2, termed streaming ionization, which eliminates the use of traditional energy sources needed for ion formation. The ionic dissociation-induced electrokinetic effect at the liquid-solid interface is the reason for energy generation. We report the highest figure of merit of current generation of 1.3 A/m2 by flowing protic solvents at 22 μL/min over a 1 × 1 mm2 surface coated with 2D-MoS2, which is adequate to produce continuous ionization of an array of analytes, making mass spectrometry possible. Weakly bound ion clusters and uric acid in urine have been detected. Further, the methodology was used as a self-energized breath alcohol sensor capable of detecting 3% alcohol in the breath.

Abstract
Triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is regarded as an equally important mechanical energy harvesting technology as electromagnetic generator (EMG). Here, the input mechanical torques and energy conversion efficiencies of the rotating EMG and TENG are systematically measured, respectively. At constant rotation rates, the input mechanical torque of EMG is balanced by the friction resisting torque and electromagnetic resisting torque, which increases with the increasing rotation rate due to Ampere force. While the input mechanical torque of TENG is balanced by the friction resisting torque and electrostatic resisting torque, which is nearly constant at different rotation rates. The energy conversion efficiency of EMG increases with the increasing input mechanical power, while that of the TENG remains nearly constant. Compared with the EMG, the TENG has a higher conversion efficiency at a low input mechanical power, which demonstrates a remarkable merit of the TENG for efficiently harvesting weak ambient mechanical energy. The applied torque of the rotating EMG and TENG are systematically measured The energy conversion efficiencies of both generators are quantified and compared This work has demonstrated a remarkable merit of the TENG under a gentle-triggering

Abstract
Equipping wearable electronics with special functions will endow them with more additional values and more comprehensive practical performance. Here, we report an ultraviolet (UV)-protective, self-cleaning, antibacterial, and self-powered all-nanofiber-based triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) for mechanical energy harvesting and self-powered sensing, which is fabricated with Ag nanowires (NWs)/TPU nanofibers and the TiO2@PAN networks through a facile electrospinning method. Due to the added TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs), the TENG presents excellent UV-protective performance, including the ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) of ∼204, the transmittance of UVA (TUVA) of ∼0.0574%, and the transmittance of UVB (TUVB) ∼0.107%. Furthermore, under solar lighting for 25 min, most surface contamination can be degraded, and the decreased power output would be recovered. Owing to the coupled effects of TiO2 NPs and Ag NWs, the TENG shows excellent antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. Due to the micro-to-nano hierarchical porous structure, the all-nanofiber-based TENG can serve as self-powered pedometers for detecting and tracking human motion behaviors. As a multifunctional self-powered device, the TENG prompts various applications in the fields of micro/nanopower sources, human movement monitoring, and human-machine interfaces, potentially providing an alternative energy solution and a multifunctional interactive platform for the next-generation wearable electronics.

Abstract
The interchange between electrospray ionization (ESI) and corona discharge ionization (CDI) with respect to applied bias on the needle is customarily placed at the point where light production begins at the tip of the needle. If a liquid sample is flowing through a needle that is observed to produce light, the ionization process is assumed to be harsher and the term coronaspray ionization has been coined to describe this hybrid ionization mechanism. In this work, the transition between ESI and CDI is investigated with respect to applied bias through optical and mass spectrometric measurements. As a function of applied bias potential, the optical signal at the tip of the needle was recorded simultaneously with the resultant ionization products. In this effort, the production of ions from an electrospray ionization needle has been demonstrated to produce light regardless of bias if ions are also formed. With this understanding, an ESI/CDI needle was designed to allow the bias to be temporarily pulsed over the 'onset' voltage necessary for ionization and the rise and decay of the optical signal was measured. Positive mode CDI onset to a stable discharge state within 0.05 ms, while positive ESI required 1.9 ms to reach a stable condition. In the negative mode, the stability of the ionization process was highly variable in both ESI and CDI modes, though CDI was generally faster to reach the stable mode of operation. When the resultant ions were investigated, the effect of increased bias on an ESI needle was found to be species-dependent. Recognizing that the range of compounds probed was limited, for those examined, it appears that stable, non-labile species may be investigated via ESI under extremely high biases while labile species demonstrate a narrow range of stable biases before significant fragmentation occurs.

Abstract
Tactile sensation plays important roles in virtual reality and augmented reality systems. Here, a self-powered, painless, and highly sensitive electro-tactile (ET) system for achieving virtual tactile experiences is proposed on the basis of triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) and ET interface formed of ball-shaped electrode array. Electrostatic discharge triggered by TENG can induce notable ET stimulation, while controlled distance between the ET electrodes and human skin can regulate the induced discharge current. The ion bombardment technique has been used to enhance the electrification capability of triboelectric polymer. Accordingly, TENG with a contact area of 4 cm2 is capable of triggering discharge, leading to a compact system. In this skin-integrated ET interface, touching position and motion trace on the TENG surface can be precisely reproduced on skin. This TENG-based ET system can work for many fields, including virtual tactile displays, Braille instruction, intelligent protective suits, or even nerve stimulation.

Abstract
As a natural monitor of health conditions for human beings, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) act as significant biomarkers for healthcare monitoring and early stage diagnosis of diseases. Most existing VOC sensors use semiconductors, optics, and electrochemistry, which are only capable of measuring the total concentration of VOCs with slow response, resulting in the lack of selectivity and low efficiency for VOC detection. Infrared (IR) spectroscopy technology provides an effective solution to detect chemical structures of VOC molecules by absorption fingerprints induced by the signature vibration of chemical stretches. However, traditional IR spectroscopy for VOC detection is limited by the weak light-matter interaction, resulting in large optical paths. Leveraging the ultrahigh electric field induced by plasma, the vibration of the molecules is enhanced to improve the light-matter interaction. Herein, we report a plasma-enhanced IR absorption spectroscopy with advantages of fast response, accurate quantization, and good selectivity. An order of ∼kV voltage was achieved from the multiswitched manipulation of the triboelectric nanogenerator by repeated sliding. The VOC species and their concentrations were well-quantified from the wavelength and intensity of spectra signals with the enhancement from plasma. Furthermore, machine learning has visualized the relationship of different VOCs in the mixture, which demonstrated the feasibility of the VOC identification to mimic patients.

Abstract
With the rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT), the number of sensors utilized for the IoT is expected to exceed 200 billion by 2025. Thus, sustainable energy supplies without the recharging and replacement of the charge storage device have become increasingly important. Among various energy harvesters, the triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) has attracted considerable attention due to its high instantaneous output power, broad selection of available materials, eco-friendly and inexpensive fabrication process, and various working modes customized for target applications. The TENG harvests electrical energy from wasted mechanical energy in the ambient environment. Three types of operational modes based on contact-separation, sliding, and freestanding are reviewed for two different configurations with a double-electrode and a single-electrode structure in the TENGs. Various charge transfer mechanisms to explain the operational principles of TENGs during triboelectrification are also reviewed for electron, ion, and material transfers. Thereafter, diverse methodologies to enhance the output power considering the energy harvesting efficiency and energy transferring efficiency are surveyed. Moreover, approaches involving not only energy harvesting by a TENG but also energy storage by a charge storage device are also reviewed. Finally, a variety of applications with TENGs are introduced. This review can help to advance TENGs for use in self-powered sensors, energy harvesters, and other systems. It can also contribute to assisting with more comprehensive and rational designs of TENGs for various applications.

Abstract
Microfluidic technology, as a method for manipulating tiny fluids, has the advantages of low sample consumption, fast reaction, and no cross-contamination. In a microfluidic system, accurate manipulation of droplets is a crucial technology that has been widely investigated. In this work, a self-powered droplet manipulation system (SDMS) is proposed to realize various droplet operations, including moving, splitting, merging, mixing, transporting chemicals and reacting. The SDMS is mainly composed of a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG), an electric brush, and a microfluidic device. The TENG serves as a high-voltage source to power the system. Using different electric brushes and microfluidic devices, different manipulations of droplets can be achieved. Moreover, by experiments and simulations, the influence of the electrode width, the electrode gap and the central angle of one electrode on the performance of SDMS is analyzed in detail. Firstly, by using electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) technology, SDMS can accurately control droplets for long-distance linear movement and simultaneously control multiple droplets to move in a circular electrode track consisting of 40 electrodes. SDMS can also manipulate two droplets of different components to merge and react. In addition, using dielectrophoresis (DEP) technology, SDMS can separate droplets with maximum volumes of 400 μL and reduce the time of the complete mixing of two droplets with different components by 6.3 times compared with the passive mixing method. Finally, the demonstration shows that a droplet can be manipulated by hand power for chemical delivery and chemical reactions on a circular electrode track without an external power source, which proves the applicability of SDMS as an open-surface microfluidic device. Therefore, the self-powered droplet manipulation system proposed in this work may have great application in the fields of drug delivery, micro chemical reactions, and biological microanalysis.

Abstract
The auditory system is the most efficient and straightforward communication strategy for connecting human beings and robots. Here, we designed a self-powered triboelectric auditory sensor (TAS) for constructing an electronic auditory system and an architecture for an external hearing aid in intelligent robotic applications. Based on newly developed triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) technology, the TAS showed ultrahigh sensitivity (110 millivolts/decibel). A TAS with the broadband response from 100 to 5000 hertz was achieved by designing the annular or sectorial inner boundary architecture with systematic optimization. When incorporated with intelligent robotic devices, TAS demonstrated high-quality music recording and accurate voice recognition for realizing intelligent human-robot interaction. Furthermore, the tunable resonant frequency of TAS was achieved by adjusting the geometric design of inner boundary architecture, which could be used to amplify a specific sound wave naturally. On the basis of this unique property, we propose a hearing aid with the TENG technique, which can simplify the signal processing circuit and reduce the power consuming. This work expresses notable advantages of using TENG technology to build a new generation of auditory systems for meeting the challenges in social robotics.

Abstract
Triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is considered as a potential solution to harvest distributed energy for the sustainable and reliable power supply of the internet of things. Although numerous researches on alternating current (AC) output TENG from fundamental physics to potential applications have been widely promoted in recent years, the studies about direct current (DC) output TENG is just beginning, especially for a constant current output. This work gives the summary of recent key researches from AC-TENG to DC-TENG, especially a constant current TENG, as well as the design of AC/DC-TENG. In addition, some new DC generators will also be summarized toward a wide range of readers. This study presents the similarities and differences between AC-TENG and DC-TENG, so that their impact and uniqueness can be clearly understood. Finally, the major challenges and the future outlooks in this rapidly emerging research field will be discussed as a guideline for future research.
