Abstract The emergence of electronic devices has brought earth-shaking changes to people’s life. However, an external power source may become indispensable to the electronic devices due to the limited capacity of batteries. As one of the possible solutions for the external power sources, the triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) provides a novel idea to the increasing number of personal electronic devices. TENG is a new type of energy collector, which has become a hot spot in the field of nanotechnology. It is widely used at the acquisition and conversion of mechanical energy to electric energy through the principle of electrostatic induction. On this basis, the TENG could be integrated with the energy storage system into a selfpowered system, which can supply power to the electronic devices and make them work continuously. In this review, TENG’s basic structure as well as its working process and working mode are firstly discussed. The integration method of TENGs with energy storage systems and the related research status are then introduced in detail. At the end of this paper, we put forward some problems and discuss the prospect in the future. Keywords electronic devices, triboelectric nanogenerator, mechanical energy, self-powered system

Introduction

Energy plays an indispensable role in people’s life, especially in the modern society. In today’s social media, the environmental problems can attract a lot of public concerns on the massive consumption of fossil fuels. The replacement of fossil energy with a clean and renewable energy resource becomes a hot research direction and receives people’s wide attention [1–4]. The self-powered system could be a possible way to solve the growing global energy crisis by obtaining the energy in a recyclable way without pollution [5]. At the same time, electronic devices are becoming popular equipment in our daily life. Typically, li
