Wearable self-powered sensors represent a theme of interest in the literature due to the progress in the Internet of Things and implantable devices. The integration of different materials to harvest energy from body movement or the environment to power up sensors or act as an active component of the detection of analytes is a frontier to be explored. This review describes the most relevant studies of the integration of nanogenerators in wearables based on the interaction of piezoelectric and triboelectric devices into more efficient and low-cost harvesting systems to power up batteries or to use the generated power to identify multiple analytes in self-powered sensors and biosensors.
