Tribo‐Electromagnetic Nanogenerator Based on Microstructured Polyvinyl Chloride Layer for Enhanced Hybrid Energy Harvesting and Intelligent Health Monitoring

, surpassing state-of-the-art hybrid TENG platforms. This synergistic dual-mode operation enables rapid capacitor charging and continuous powering of practical electronics-including 800 LEDs, LCD timers, and thermohygrometers - without external power sources. When integrated into wearable configurations, the TEMNG enables real-time gait monitoring, rehabilitation assessment, and in-shoe biomechanical energy harvesting. Furthermore, by coupling TEMNG-derived gait signatures with a convolutional-neural-network/random-forest model, the system achieves 99.5%-accuracy user authentication, highlighting triboelectric signals as a powerful biometric modality. Overall, this work establishes microstructured PVC-based TEMNGs as a scalable and multifunctional platform that unifies hybrid energy harvesting, intelligent sensing, and secure human-machine interactions for next-generation self-powered electronics.

Abstract

, surpassing state-of-the-art hybrid TENG platforms. This synergistic dual-mode operation enables rapid capacitor charging and continuous powering of practical electronics-including 800 LEDs, LCD timers, and thermohygrometers - without external power sources. When integrated into wearable configurations, the TEMNG enables real-time gait monitoring, rehabilitation assessment, and in-shoe biomechanical energy harvesting. Furthermore, by coupling TEMNG-derived gait signatures with a convolutional-neural-network/random-forest model, the system achieves 99.5%-accuracy user authentication, highlighting triboelectric signals as a powerful biometric modality. Overall, this work establishes microstructured PVC-based TEMNGs as a scalable and multifunctional platform that unifies hybrid energy harvesting, intelligent sensing, and secure human-machine interactions for next-generation self-powered electronics.
