The utilization of various distributed energy is becoming a prominent research topic due to the rapid development of the Internet of Things and wireless condition monitoring systems. Among the various distributed energy sources, wind energy has the advantages of being widely distributed, renewable and pollution-free, and is a very promising mechanical energy for power supply. Traditional wind energy harvesting methods based on electromagnetic and piezoelectric effects have issues with complex structure, large size, severe mechanical structures, and high installation costs. The low frequency and irregular nature of ambient mechanical energy makes these methods generally inefficient and inevitably hinders the further exploitation of wind energy. The triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) based on frictional charging and electrostatic effects can also be used for wind power generation and are increasingly favored by researchers as TENGs are easier to be miniaturized and assembled, and can realize large-scale manufacturing in comparison. This paper reviews the research on TENGs for wind energy utilization in terms of structural design, material selection and potential applications. In addition, the potential difficulties and possible developments in this field are summarized and discussed. Full article

Over the last decade, the field of luminescent solar concentrators (LSC) has experienced significant growth, as noted by the increasing number of studies. However, so far, most of the devices developed have only been employed in a simple planar configuration coupled with silicon photovoltaic solar cells. This type of device is essentially a solar window whose main objective is to produce electrical power. However, due to the intrinsic nature of LSC, that is, the ability to absorb, downshift and concentrate the solar radiation that impinges on it, this photonic device can be used in alternative ways. In particular, in this review, we will explore several non-conventional applications in which LSCs are used successfully, including as solar bioreactors for algae development, photo reactors for organic synthesis, and as greenhouses.
