Exploring the application of ferroelectret nanogenerators in medical engineering
Abstract Flexible devices derived from piezoelectric materials have gained considerable attention due to their exceptional biocompatibility. Among these, ferroelectret nanogenerators (FENG) is a novel type of flexible piezoelectric device that integrates self‐powering, actuation, and sensing capabilities.
