Xi Liang, Shijie Liu, Hongbo Yang, Tao Jiang
Abstract
As a clean and renewable energy source with huge reserves, the development of ocean wave energy has important strategic significance. Harvesting ocean wave energy through novel triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) has shown promising application prospects. For this technology, the integration of TENG units is the crucial step to realize large-scale network commercialization. All aspects of the TENG networking process are systematically summarized in this review, including the topology design and the circuit-connection scheme. Advancing the research on the large-scale TENG network is expected to make great contributions to achieve carbon neutrality.
