The development of artificial intelligence and the Internet of things has motivated extensive research on self-powered flexible sensors. The conventional sensor must be powered by a battery device, while innovative self-powered sensors can provide power for the sensing device. Self-powered flexible sensors can have higher mobility, wider distribution, and even wireless operation, while solving the problem of the limited life of the battery so that it can be continuously operated and widely utilized. In recent years, the studies on piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs) and triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have mainly concentrated on self-powered flexible sensors. Self-powered flexible sensors based on PENGs and TENGs have been reported as sensing devices in many application fields, such as human health monitoring, environmental monitoring, wearable devices, electronic skin, human–machine interfaces, robots, and intelligent transportation and cities. This review summarizes the development process of the sensor in terms of material design and structural optimization, as well as introduces its frontier applications in related fields. We also look forward to the development prospects and future of self-powered flexible sensors.

AbstractLow power electronics endowed with artificial intelligence and biological afferent characters are beneficial to neuromorphic sensory network. Highly distributed synaptic sensory neurons are more readily driven by portable, distributed, and ubiquitous power sources. Here, we report a contact-electrification-activated artificial afferent at femtojoule energy. Upon the contact-electrification effect, the induced triboelectric signals activate the ion-gel-gated MoS2 postsynaptic transistor, endowing the artificial afferent with the adaptive capacity to carry out spatiotemporal recognition/sensation on external stimuli (e.g., displacements, pressures and touch patterns). The decay time of the synaptic device is in the range of sensory memory stage. The energy dissipation of the artificial afferents is significantly reduced to 11.9 fJ per spike. Furthermore, the artificial afferents are demonstrated to be capable of recognizing the spatiotemporal information of touch patterns. This work is of great significance for the construction of next-generation neuromorphic sensory network, self-powered biomimetic electronics and intelligent interactive equipment.

AbstractA self-powered system based on energy harvesting technology can be a potential candidate for solving the problem of supplying power to electronic devices. In this review, we focus on portable and wearable self-powered systems, starting with typical energy harvesting technology, and introduce portable and wearable self-powered systems with sensing functions. In addition, we demonstrate the potential of self-powered systems in actuation functions and the development of self-powered systems toward intelligent functions under the support of information processing and artificial intelligence technologies.
