Source abstract
Abstract
Flexible wearable intelligent monitoring devices are playing an increasingly important role in the field of smart sports. In this work, we report a fully encapsulated flexible triboelectric nanogenerator (FEF-TENG) by utilizing 3D printing technology for harvesting mechanical energy and swimming posture monitoring. Experimental results show that the open-circuit voltage (Voc), short-circuit current (Isc), and transferred charge (Qsc) of the FEF-TENG increase significantly with bending angles, reaching peak values of 78.82 V, 3.51 µA, and 31.08 nC at 90°, respectively. The FEF-TENG device can be integrated into swimming gear to monitor elbow and knee postures, demonstrating its capability for real-time bio-mechanical analysis and performance tracking. This integration of 3D printing technology and TENG design not only optimizes the structural and material properties of the device but also simplifies the manufacturing process, making it highly suitable for advanced applications in smart sports and wearable electronics.
