摘要

Energy conservation and carbon reduction in the building sector are critical for addressing climate change. This paper reviews wind energy-driven triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) and their integration with buildings, focusing on sustainable energy solutions. Analysis of publication trends from 2012 to 2024 reveals rapid growth in TENG research, with China, South Korea, and the U.S. leading contributions. Only 5.5% of studies focus on architectural applications, indicating significant untapped potential. Keyword analysis reveals a shift from foundational energy generation to applications in sensor networks and performance optimization. Two key TENG structures, rotational designs and flutter-based models, achieve stable energy output under low wind speeds. Applications include hybrid systems that combine TENGs with solar cells for rooftop energy harvesting, as well as self-powered sensors in vents or windows for real-time environmental monitoring. Future research directions emphasize the development of hybrid energy networks (wind, solar, mechanical) and smart building systems utilizing TENG-driven sensor grids. Innovations such as air purification and infrastructure monitoring are also discussed. The study advocates for interdisciplinary efforts to improve TENG efficiency, thereby supporting the development of intelligent and sustainable buildings.
