In this work, Prof. Jae Yeong Park and co-workers demonstrate an elastic-impact-based nonresonant hybridized generator (EINR-HG) for biomechanical energy harvesting at low-frequency vibrations. Introducing a soft-magnetic material-based flux-concentrator and nanowire/nanofiber-based triboelectric materials significantly improves the output performance of the EINR-HG. The EINR-HG serves as a universal portable power source for state-of-art smart/wearable electronics under diverse human-induced vibrations at different carrying positions, such as in a backpack.
