Topic: Triboelectric Nanogenerators for Self-Powered Biomedical Devices

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), leveraging the triboelectric effect to convert mechanical energy into electrical power, present a novel solution for powering biomedical devices autonomously. These devices offer high energy conversion efficiency, flexible design, and excellent environmental adaptability, making them particularly well-suited for self-sustaining biomedical applications such as implanted sensors, smart medical devices, and wearable health monitors. By optimizing TENG design and materials, it is possible to significantly enhance device performance and stability while reducing reliance on external power sources. This Special Issue aims to explore the applications of TENGs in the biomedical field, examining their practical performance, challenges, and future prospects, highlighting their potential to advance long-term, stable medical monitoring and treatment.
