Energy harvesting from clothing.

Seeking new energy sources, especially those with less environmental impact, has been a consistent effort in the field of energy harvesting. In this work, we present an innovative energy harvesting technique for collecting energy from clothing. In this convenient but powerful method, electrical energy is generated by simply sliding a zein film assembly on the surface of clothes by constructing zein/cloth direct current (DC) triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs).
