Abstract: Wearable and implantable triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) convert mechanical energy to electricity in the daily movements of the human body. Self-generated dynamic electric field or displacement current of TENGs can operate from micrometers to centimeters, which offers a key technology for TENG-based therapy systems for precision medicine on both tissues and cells. TENGs have low-current and high-voltage properties, which reduce damage to normal tissues, and kill rapidly dividing cancer cells. In this work, the dynamic electric field from TENG directly inhibits the cellular proliferation behavior of cancer cells. The work paves a new way for the self-generated electric field of TENG for cancer therapy.
