Advances in Carbon-Based Nanogenerators

The energy crisis is becoming a major challenge facing all human beings, and the increasingly severe environmental problems have urged the increasing demand for clean energy. Carbon materials owing to their excellent physical and chemical properties have shown potentials. Recently researchers have used micro/nano processing technology to prepare carbon-based materials of various dimensions to capture ambient energy, which considers to be an efficient way of harvesting renewable and clean energy. From the perspective of different forms of energy made use of, this paper aims to give an introduction over the research advances in the different dimensional carbon materials for nanoscale power generation devices. The potential applications of carbon-based nanogenerator in wearable devices, sensors and beyond are presented.
