Self‐Powered Nanosensors and Nanosystems

Abstract Sensor networks are a key technological and economic driver for global industries in the near future, with applications in health care, environmental monitoring, infrastructure monitoring, national security, and more. Developing technologies for self‐powered nanosensors is vitally important. This paper gives a brief summary about recent progress in the area, describing nanogenerators that are capable of providing sustainable self‐sufficient micro/nanopower sources for future sensor networks.
