Self-Healing Triboelectric Sensors with Enhanced Durability for Gesture Recognition and Human-Machine Interaction.

The emergence of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) has significantly developed the landscape of wearable electronics. However, the durability and self-healing capabilities of TENGs remain challenging. Herein, a self-healing triboelectric nanogenerator (SH-TENG) is proposed, utilizing a flexible and biocompatible glycerin and hydroxyethyl cellulose (GHEC), which is synthesized via a one-pot method.
