In the Internet of things (IoT), motion sensor in the perceptual layer is at the forefront of the information collection, which plays a crucial role in the IoT. However, with a large number of commercial applications, several problems of motion sensor limit the development of IOT such as poor portability, poor environmental adaptability, and high energy consumption, etc. In this work, an ultralight, self-powered and self-adaptive motion sensor (UMS) is reported. Total mass of the UMS is less than 20 mg. Self-powered characteristic of the UMS is achieved based on the principle of triboelectric nanogenerator by using the coupling of triboelectrification and electrostatic induction as governed by the Maxwell's displacement current. Moreover, the UMS shows satisfactory self-adaptive performance of both temperature and humidity, less-sensitive to temperature in surroundings, from 15 ℃ to 60 ℃, and ambient humidity under 90% RH. Furthermore, sensing signals triggered by different motion behaviors, such as grasping, walking, stooping and so on, can be distinguished by the processor clearly, which can be applied to motion recognition and machine control. This work presents a novel UMS with characteristics of portability, energy conservation and environmental friendliness. The UMS shows broad prospect in perceptual layer application in IoT.

Wearable, flexible sensors based on hydrogel fabrication have recently gained significant attention due to their unique properties. However, developing hydrogel sensors that maintain high sensitivity and work effectively in sub-zero temperatures remains a formidable challenge. Herein, a hydrogel with surfaces featuring randomly distributed microspines is synthesized by combining sodium alginate (SA) and acrylamide (AM) as the hydrogel components. To fabricate a wearable sensor, a highly conductive MXene layer is inkjet-printed onto the surface of the hydrogel microspines. The resulting sensor exhibits a remarkable array of features, including exceptional sensitivity (15.03 kPa −1 ), a low detection limit (10 Pa), a vast operating range (0.12–70 kPa), rapid response and recovery (40/100 ms), reliable performance (over 1000 cycles), and outstanding resistance to low temperatures (-20 °C). Moreover, this hydrogel-based sensor facilitates the efficient collection of human monitoring data, such as vocal patterns, pulse, and joint movements, even when operating at −20 °C and in ice bath conditions. Importantly, the surface-based inkjet MXene hydrogels could be assembled into a deformable triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG), allowing mechanical energy harvesting. The TENG exhibited peak output voltage and current values of 5 V and 2.5 μA, respectively.

Flexible organic/inorganic piezoelectric nanocomposites are highly demanded for flexible wearable electronic devices due to their excellent mechanical flexibility and high piezoelectric performance. However, the output performance of ceramic-polymer-based piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs) is restricted by the poor electrical conductivity of the organic matrix and the distinct discrepancy in mechanical strength between inorganic filler and organic matrix. Herein, we propose a flexible piezoelectric polymer nanocomposite based on CNTs@PZT nanofibers (NFs) network where the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were introduced into the piezoelectric lead zirconate titanate (PZT) NFs to simultaneously improve the electrical conductivity and mechanical strength of nanocomposites. When subjected to a periodical bending deformation , the CNTs@PZT NFs network-based PENG with optimal addition of CNTs (0.6 wt%) generates a maximum electrical output up to ∼12.5 V and ∼80 nA cm −2 which is four times higher than that of PENGs without CNTs doping. An ultrahigh power density of 91.7 nW cm −2 is obtained with an external load resistance of 40 MΩ when pressed via a 10 N compressive force , and furthermore, the generated power could charge a capacitor and further light a commercial LED. This work may pave a new way for the development of high-output nanocomposite-type PENGs.

Currently, wearable sensors have been widely used for human behavior monitoring. Among them, triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) textile has the functions of power generation and active sensing, showing great advantages in energy collection and signal transmission. However, the TENG textiles face problems such as limited recognition accuracy, insufficient flexibility, missed fashion sense, and complex manufacturing processes. To address the above issues, a core–shell structure integrated conductive fiber (C-fiber) based on ionogel and a hollow silicone tube are displayed. Owing to the fact that the C-fiber can be synthesized through a simple one-step UV curing process, it has the potential for large-scale production. Due to the dyeability of ionogel and the transparency of hollow tube, the C-fiber has the ability to obtain personalized colors. This fiber can be further woven into a flexible fabric sensor (W-TENG) for high-precision human behavior monitoring. Noteworthiness, the W-TENG still has flexibility and output signal in environments ranging from −18 to 200 °C,the strong wide temperature adaptability stem from the heat and frost resistance of the materials. By assembling W-TENG onto the human body, daily movements, fall types, and post fall states can be perceived. Furthermore, complex motion data is trained by support vector machine (SVM), and the recognition accuracy for different fall categories can reach 100%. In practical applications, TENG could be equipped with custom bluetooth modules to monitor falls in real-time during walking, and provide timely treatment for the injured.

Flexible triboelectric generators present a wide range of prospective applications owing to their small size, light weight, and wearability; in addition, they can convert external mechanical energy into electrical energy to provide an energy supply for wearable electronic products. In this study, a wearable textile triboelectric generator was developed by weaving polyurethane (PU) nanofiber core-spun yarn and Si 3 N 4 -electret-doped polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanofiber core-spun yarn into a double-layer fabric. Within the double-layer fabric, one layer was Si 3 N 4 -doped PVDF (denoted as Si 3 N 4 @PVDF) nanofiber fabric, and the other was PU nanofiber fabric. When subjected to an external mechanical force, PU nanofiber fabric and Si 3 N 4 @PVDF nanofiber fabric came into contact and were able to convert external mechanical energy into electrical energy. The most notable instantaneous electrical performance of this triboelectric nanogenerator was open circuit voltage of 71 V, short-circuit current of 0.7 μA, and output power of 56 μW. Additionally, the wearable textile triboelectric generator exhibited superior washability, stability, and cycle durability. More significantly, it was capable of driving some low-consumption electronic products, including capacitors, LED bulbs, and digital meters, thereby exhibiting a strong potential for flexible self-powered electronic devices and intelligent textiles .

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), among the most simple and efficient means to harvest mechanical energy, have great potential in renewable energy utilization. While the output performance of TENGs is still not high enough, which limits its practical application. Here, a poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)/fluorinated ethylene propylene nanoparticles (FEP NPs) porous nanofiber (PFPN) membrane with waterproof, breathable, surface superhydrophobic and high tribo-negative properties is proposed for achieving high-performance of TENGs. The PFPN-based solid–solid contact PFPN-TENG achieved an optimal electric output with a net tribo-charge density of 294 µC m −2 , which is 42.2% more than that of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film. The PFNP membrane can maintain the best performance with almost no attenuation after 142680 working cycles. Based on its excellent triboelectric characteristics, the PFPN membrane shows its excellent performance for self-powered body motion sensing and mechanical energy harvesting. A flexible solid–liquid contact PFPN-TENG can achieve high electrical output with an average volume power density of ≈544.1 W m −3 by harvesting water wave energy. Such excellent performance of the PFPN membrane makes it a potential candidate to promote the power density of TENGs in harvesting blue water wave energy.
