Self-adaptive Bioinspired Hummingbird-wing Stimulated Triboelectric Nanogenerators

Abstract Bio-inspired technologies have remarkable potential for energy harvesting from clean and sustainable energy sources. Inspired by the hummingbird-wing structure, we propose a shape-adaptive, lightweight triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) designed to exploit the unique flutter mechanics of th...
