Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adma201500652-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>A flexible triboelectric nanogenerator</bold> (FTENG) based on wavy‐structured Kapton film and a serpentine electrode on stretchable substrates is presented. The as‐fabricated FTENG is capable of harvesting ambient mechanical energy via both compressive and stretching modes. Moreover, the FTENG can be a bendable power source to work on curved surfaces; it can also be adaptively attached onto human skin for monitoring gentle body motions. <graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgj1d0h9kbw" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></p> </abstract>
