Research progress in triboelectric nanogenerators based on new inorganic materials.
Review in iScience, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Based on contact electrification and electrostatic induction, triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have emerged as a prominent technology for mechanical energy harvesting and conversion. Recent advances have been driven by new inorganic materials, including perovskites, graphene and its derivatives, transition metal dichalcogenides, MXenes, metal-organic frameworks, liquid metals, and high-entropy alloys. Their unique electrical, photoelectric, magnetic, and interfacial properties, reinforced by innovations in triboelectric materials, surface functionalization, and device structure, have led to significant improvements in energy conversion efficiency and environmental stability. Key mechanisms, such as band structure modulation, surface charge optimization, and interfacial engineering, not only enhance output performance but also endow TENGs with intelligence and multifunctionality, expanding applications in flexible electronics and environmental monitoring. Despite progress, challenges remain, including unclear interfacial coupling dynamics and limitations in large-scale manufacturing. This review examines current applications, highlights key scientific issues, and provides design insights to guide next-generation high-performance TENGs development.
