A nanogenerator is a compact device that converts mechanical or thermal energy into electricity, serving as an energy harvesting solution for small, wireless autonomous devices. It taps into ambient energy sources like solar, wind, thermal differentials, and kinetic energy, enabling power generation for applications such as wearable electronics and wireless sensor networks. Nanogenerators utilize ambient background energy readily available in the environment, such as temperature gradients from machinery operation, electromagnetic energy in urban areas, or even motion vibrations during activities like walking. This approach offers a means to power low-energy electronics without the need for conventional fuel sources.
There are three classes of nanogenerators: piezoelectric, triboelectric, both of which convert mechanical energy into electricity, and pyroelectric nanogenerators, which convert heat energy into electricity.[1]
