Lightweight and flexible self-charging power systems with synchronous energy harvesting and energy storage abilit-ies are highly desired in the era of the internet of things and artificial intelligences,which can provide stable,sustainable,and autonomous power sources for ubiquitous,distributed,and low-power wearable electronics.However,there is a lack of compre-hensive review and challenging discussion on the state-of-the-art of the triboelectric nanogenetor (TENG)-based self-charging power textiles,which have a great possibility to become the future energy autonomy power sources.Herein,the recent pro-gress of the self-charging power textiles hybridizing fiber/fabric based TENGs and fiber/fabric shaped batteries/supercapacitors is comprehensively summarized from the aspect of textile structural designs.Based on the current research status,the key bottle-necks and brighter prospects of self-charging power textiles are also discussed in the end.It is hoped that the summary and pro-spect of the latest research of self-charging power textiles can help relevant researchers accurately grasp the research progress,focus on the key scientific and technological issues,and promote further research and practical application process.
