The IVF-TENG system integrated into a gas mask to serve as a versatile sensor-based detection system.

In a new study, Chung-Ang University researchers design a high-power and high output triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG)-based sensor that can be powered by breathing. The researchers integrated this device into a gas mask to create a self-powered hybrid sensor that detects breathing patterns and harmful chemicals.
