Challenge: Personal Thermal Management Textile Triboelectric Nanogenerator (PTMT - TENG) combines energy harvesting, thermal regulation, self - powered sensing with the inherent advantages of textiles, making it a viable power source for wearable electronics. However, it has limitations in environmental adaptability and all - weather temperature control. Therefore, integrating these two functions into the same PTMT - TENG is a huge challenge, which has not been reported yet.
Method: Professor Pan Caofeng from Beihang University (National Outstanding Youth), Professor Yang Wensheng from Henan University (National Outstanding Youth), Associate Professor Cao Ruirui, and Researcher Gao Wenchao from Beijing Institute of Nanoenergy and Nanosystems, Chinese Academy of Sciences, jointly reported a PTMT - TENG based on multi - purpose smart textiles for the first time.
Innovation 1: The device consists of a dual - mode switchable thermal management layer and a triboelectric layer, demonstrating unparalleled adaptive phase change thermal regulation capability, which can heat 4.4°C in cold environments at night and cool 3.8°C in high - temperature environments.
Innovation 2: When further combined with an effective photothermal effect, the PTMT - TENG shows warmth retention up to 15.9°C in cold daytime conditions. Compared with the original TENG, the triboelectric output of this PTMT - TENG is increased by 325.8%, with a power density of 8762 μW m⁻², and it has excellent flexibility, breathability, and self - cleaning properties.
Innovation 3: This innovative device combines power output and real - time bidirectional switchable temperature regulation, providing a reference for the development of next - generation multi - functional TENGs, showing great potential in various application scenarios, and paving a new way for the future development of smart textiles.
