Underwater Monitoring Networks Based on Cable-Structured Triboelectric Nanogenerators.

ABSTRACT: The importance of ocean exploration and underwater monitoring is becoming vital, due to the abundant biological, mineral, energy, and other resources in the ocean. Here, a self-powered underwater cable-based triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is demonstrated for underwater monitoring of mechanical motion/triggering, as well as searching and rescuing in the sea. Using a novel double-layer winding method combined with ferroelectric polarization, a self-powered cable-structured sensor with a stable electrical output has been manufactured, which can accurately respond to a variety of external mechanical stimuli. A self-powered cable sensing network woven using smart cables can comprehensively transmit information, such as the plane position and dive depth of a submersible. More precisely, it c
