Abstract
Electronic devices with multiple features bring in comfort to the way we live. However, repeated use causes physical as well as chemical degradation reducing their lifetime. The self-healing ability is the most crucial property of natural systems for survival in unexpected situations and variable environments. However, this self-repair property is not possessed by the conventional electronic devices designed today. To expand their lifetime and make them reliable by restoring their mechanical, functional, and electrical properties, self-healing materials are a great go-to option to create robust devices. In this review the intriguing self-healing polymers and fascinating mechanism of self-healable energy harvesting devices such as triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) and storage devices like supercapacitors and batteries from the aspect of electrodes and electrolytes in the past five years are reviewed. The current challenges, strategies, and perspectives for a smart and sustainable future are also discussed.

Abstract
The oil spill positioner is capable of real-time monitoring oil films on the sea surface. However, the lack of high-performance power supply methods greatly restricts the application of oil spill positioner. In this research, we design a high-performance self-powered oil spill positioner based on a soft-contact-triboelectric-nanogenerator (SC-TENG). This device achieves soft-contact by attaching rabbit fur to the rotor, which can effectively reduce frictional resistance, quickly transfer charge to the electrode, and improve the durability of the parts. First, we calculate the highest occupied molecular orbital and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) molecules through first-principles simulations, and compared the ease of electron excitation between the two materials. The results show that the performance of SC-TENG with PVDF as dielectric material is significantly better than that of PTFE. At the same time, this phenomenon has been confirmed by experiments. On the basis of experimental and simulate research on two types of power management circuits, a bridge rectifier circuit with the function of converting alternating current to direct current is selected to realize the self-power supply of the oil spill positioner. Additionally, by optimizing the structure of the SC-TENG and employing a bridge rectifier circuit, the SC-TENG can achieve a maximum open-circuit voltage of 1400 V and a short-circuit current of 3.49μA, which are enough to light up 200 light-emitting diodes and power the oil spill positioner. Finally, we simulate the open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current of the SC-TENG on a six-degree-of-freedom platform and test its durability under real-world ocean wave conditions, all of which show excellent performance. This work develops an efficient wave energy conversion mechanism and successfully realizes the high-performance self-powering of the oil spill positioner, making oil spill monitoring more flexible and reliable.

Abstract
Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have emerged as a promising green technology to efficiently harvest otherwise wasted mechanical energy from the environment and human activities. However, cost-effective and reliably performing TENGs require rational integration of triboelectric materials, spacers, and electrodes. The present work reports for the first time the use of oxydation-resistant pure copper nanowires (CuNWs) as an electrode to develop a flexible, and inexpensive TENG through a potentially scalable approach involving vacuum filtration and lactic acid treatment. A ∼6 cm2 device yields a remarkable open circuit voltage (Voc) of 200 V and power density of 10.67 W m-2 under human finger tapping. The device is robust, flexible and noncytotoxic as assessed by stretching/bending maneuvers, corrosion tests, continuous operation for 8000 cycles, and biocompatibility tests using human fibroblast cells. The device can power 115 light emitting diodes (LEDs) and a digital calculator; sense bending and motion from the human hand; and transmit Morse code signals. The robustness, flexibility, transparency, and non-cytotoxicity of the device render it particularly promising for a wide range of energy harvesting and advanced healthcare applications, such as sensorised smart gloves for tactile sensing, material identification and safer surgical intervention.

Abstract
Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), a newly developed energy harvesting device that converts surrounding environmental mechanical stimuli into electricity, have been significantly explored as an ideal long-term power source for electrical devices. Despite recent advances, the development of advanced TENG devices with sufficient outputs to sustainably power electronic devices and rapid self-healability under mild conditions to improve their lifetime and function is highly demanded. Here, we report a robust self-healable and reprocessable TENG fabricated with a covalent adaptive network based on mechanically strong fluorinated poly(hindered urea) (F-PHU) integrated with ionic liquid as an efficient dielectric material to improve its triboelectric efficiency and self-healing capability simultaneously. The synthesis and integration of a well-defined reactive copolymer having both pendant fluorinated and t-butylamino bulky groups are the key to fabricate robust F-PHU networks containing fluorinated dangling chains that can interact with ionic liquids to induce ionic polarization, which raises the dielectric constant and thus increases triboelectric performance. They also are cross-linked with dynamic bulky urea linkages for rapid self-healability and high reprocessability through their reversible exchange reactions at moderate temperatures. The developed ionic F-PHU materials exhibit a high TENG output performance (power density of 173.0 mW/m2) as well as high TENG output recovery upon repairing their surface damages. This work demonstrates that such a synergistic design of triboelectric ionic F-PHU materials could have great potential for applications requiring high-performance and long-lasting energy harvesting.

Abstract
With the increasing demand for carbon neutrality, the development of renewable and recycle green energy has attracted wide attention from researchers. A novel self-healing triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) was constructed by applying a linear silicone-modified polyurethane (PU) coating as a triboelectric layer, which was obtained by reacting hydroxypropyl silicone oil and hexamethylene diisocyanate under the catalysis of Sn. The linear self-healing coating as the friction electrode could effectively alleviate the damages of TENG devices during long-term energy harvesting. When the triboelectric layer of the TENG device shows abrasion, the broken silicone-modified polyurethane polymer chains would gradually be cross-linked again through hydrogen bonding to achieve a self-healing effect. The entire self-healing process of the friction coating could be completed in 30 min at room temperature. The PU-based self-healing TENG exhibits an evident and stable output performance with a short-circuit current of 31.9 μA and output voltage of 517.5 V after multiple cutting-healing cycles, which could light 480 commercial LEDs. Besides, a self-powered cathodic protection system supplied by the self-healing TENG was constructed, which could transfer negative triboelectric charges to the protected metal surface to achieve an anti-corrosion effect by harvesting mechanical energy. Due to the self-healing characteristics of the TENG device as the power supply part, this intelligent system possesses great application potential in the long-term corrosion protection of multiple metal application industries, such as the marine industry.

Abstract
The parallel evolution of wearable electronics, artificial intelligence, and fifth-generation wireless technology has created a technological paradigm with the potential to change our lives profoundly. Despite this, addressing limitations linked to continuous, sustainable, and pervasive powering of wearable electronics remains a bottleneck to overcome in order to maximize the exponential benefit that these technologies can bring once synergized. A recent groundbreaking discovery has demonstrated that by using the coupling effect of contact electrification and electrostatic induction, triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) can efficiently convert irregular and low-frequency passive biomechanical energy from body movements into electrical energy, providing an infinite and sustainable power source for wearable electronics. A number of human motions have been exploited to properly and efficiently harness this energy potential, including human ambulation. Shoes are an indispensable component of daily wearing and can be leveraged as an excellent platform to exploit such kinetic energy. In this article, the latest representative achievements of TENG-based smart electricity-generating shoes are comprehensively reviewed. We summarize ways in which not only can biomechanical energy be scavenged via ambulatory motion, but also biomonitoring of health parameters via tracking of rhythm and strength of pace can be implemented to aid in theranostic fields. This work provides a systematical review of the rational structural design, practical applications, scenario analysis, and performance evaluation of TENG-based smart shoes for wearable electricity generation. In addition, the perspective for future development of smart electricity-generation shoes as a sustainable and pervasive energy solution towards the upcoming era of the Internet of Things is discussed.

Abstract
Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) as a revolutionary system for harvesting mechanical energy have demonstrated high vitality and great advantage, which open up great prospects for their application in various areas of the society of the future. The past few years have seen exponential growth in many new classes of self-healing polymers (SHPs) for TENGs. This review presents and evaluates the SHP range for TENGs, and also attempts to assess the impact of modern polymer chemistry on the development of advanced materials for TENGs. Among the most widely used SHPs for TENGs, the analysis of non-covalent (hydrogen bond, metal-ligand bond), covalent (imine bond, disulfide bond, borate bond) and multiple bond-based SHPs in TENGs has been performed. Particular attention is paid to the use of SHPs with shape memory as components of TENGs. Finally, the problems and prospects for the development of SHPs for TENGs are outlined.

Abstract
A high demand for green and eco-friendly triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) has multiplied the importance of their degradability for biomedical applications. However, the charge generation of current eco-friendly TENGs is generally limited. In this research, a flexible TENG based on a silk fibroin (SF) fibrous layer and a polycaprolactone (PCL)/graphene oxide (GO) fibrous layer was developed. Moreover, the PCL/GO layer was surface modified using various concentrations of GO (0, 1.5, 3, 6, and 9 wt%). We demonstrated that surface modification using GO nanosheets significantly improved the output of the TENG. Notably, the optimized GO modified layer resulted in a voltage of 100 V, a current of 3.15 mA [Formula: see text], and a power density of 72 mW[Formula: see text]. Moreover, a thin PCL layer applied as an encapsulation layer did not significantly modulate the performance of the TENG. Furthermore, during 28 d of soaking in a phosphate buffer solution, the proposed TENG was able to successfully generate electricity. The TENG was also proposed to be used for the electrical stimulation of PC12 cells. The results confirmed that this self-powered electrical stimulator could promote the attachment and proliferation of PC12 cells. Therefore, we have shown the potential for an eco-friendly and cost-effective TENG based on GO modified PCl/GO and silk fibrous layers to be used as a power source for biomedical applications.

Abstract
As an emerging branch of energy conversion technologies, the triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) pioneers a brand-new path to effectively harness varieties of mechanical energies for the purpose of powering and/or sensing. Since its invention in 2012, the TENG has experienced a booming and revolutionary development in every respect, ranging from materials synthesis and modification, architecture design to performance optimization, power management, and application exploration. In comparison to the organic solar cell and organic light-emitting diodes, TENG is a unique technique that opens the venue of using polymer materials (PMs) for harvesting mechanical energy. So far, by virtue of superior charge transfer and capturing capabilities during friction, various kinds of PMs have been developed and used as triboelectric materials in order to achieve high-performance TENGs. Here, this work focuses on the utilization and development of PMs for the TENGs technology and first gives a summary of main PMs that are frequently adopted in currently reported energy-harvesting TENGs. Second, several kinds of PMs used lately in a few novel TENGs for special or specific energy-harvesting circumstances are introduced and highlighted. Finally, the perspectives on and challenges in developing high-performance PMs toward TENGs technology are conceived and expected to be instructive to future research.

Abstract
The viable application of soft electronics/robotics relies on the development of power devices which are desired to be flexible, deformable, or even self-healable. We report here a shape-adaptive, self-healable triboelectric nanogenerator (SS-TENG) for harvesting biomechanical energies. The use of a viscoelastic polymer, normally known as Silly Putty, as the electrification material and as the matrix of a carbon-nanotube-filled composite (CNT-putty) electrode endows the SS-TENG the capability of adapting to arbitrary irregular surfaces and instantaneous healing from mechanical damage (almost completely recovered in 3 min without extra stimuli). Furthermore, the output performances of the SS-TENG have also been significantly improved because (i) the ideal soft contact is achieved at the solid-solid interfaces for more effective contact electrification and (ii) the introduced cation dopants make the putty even more tribo-negative than polytetrafluoroethylene. The SS-TENG can be adhered to any curvy surface, tailored, and reshaped into arbitrary configurations and utilized as a power supply for small electronics, suggesting promising applications in soft electronics/robotics in the future.

[PMID: 30960025 PMCID: PMC6401741 DOI: 10.3390/polym11010041] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2018] [Revised: 12/14/2018] [Accepted: 12/24/2018] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The self-healing ability can be imparted to the polymers by different mechanisms. In this study, self-healing polydimethylsiloxane-graft-polyurethane (PDMS-g-PUR)/Vanadium pentoxide (V₂O₅) nanofiber supramolecular polymer composites based on a reversible hydrogen bonding mechanism are prepared. V₂O₅ nanofibers are synthesized via colloidal route and characterized by XRD, SEM, EDX, and TEM techniques. In order to prepare PDMS-g-PUR, linear aliphatic PUR having one ⁻COOH functional group (PUR-COOH) is synthesized and grafted onto aminopropyl functionalized PDMS by EDC/HCl coupling reaction. PUR-COOH and PDMS-g-PUR are characterized by ¹H NMR, FTIR. PDMS-g-PUR/V₂O₅ nanofiber composites are prepared and characterized by DSC/TGA, FTIR, and tensile tests. The self-healing ability of PDMS-graft-PUR and composites are determined by mechanical tests and optical microscope. Tensile strength data obtained from mechanical tests show that healing efficiencies of PDMS-g-PUR increase with healing time and reach 85.4 ± 1.2 % after waiting 120 min at 50 °C. The addition of V₂O₅ nanofibers enhances the mechanical properties and healing efficiency of the PDMS-g-PUR. An increase of healing efficiency and max tensile strength from 85.4 ± 1.2% to 95.3 ± 0.4% and 113.08 ± 5.24 kPa to 1443.40 ± 8.96 kPa is observed after the addition of 10 wt % V₂O₅ nanofiber into the polymer.
