Preface
The first organic materials-based triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) was invented by my group in 2012. Using the electrostatic charges created on the surfaces of two dissimilar materials when they are brought into physical contact, the contactinduced triboelectric charges can generate a potential drop when the two surfaces are separated by a mechanical force, which can drive electrons to flow between the two electrodes built on the top and bottom surfaces of the two materials. The fundamental studies and technological applications of TENG are experiencing a rapid develop
