Next-generation toys are designed to entertain and interact with children. Such toys need a power source, generally a battery that must be replaced frequently, leading to increased maintenance costs. Recently, an innovative biomechanical energy harvester called a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) was introduced as an eco-friendly generator that scavenges waste energy. Here, in a step toward the commercialization of TENG devices, we present a novel approach that uses TENG technology to develop battery-free electronic smart toys. This robust, eco-friendly, and cost-effective approach for harnessing biomechanical energy can transform a traditional toy into a smart toy. With this innovative idea, we developed a smart clapping toy (SCT-TENG) and a smart duck toy (SDT-TENG) using biocompatible materials. We employed a simple inbuilt circuit with light-emitting diodes that are powered using biomechanical energy. The SCT-TENG and SDT-TENG exhibited output voltages of 65 V_p-p and 260 V_p-p, respectively. We believe that the use of TENG technology for battery-free electronic smart toys opens up new possibilities for the commercialization of TENGs and the field of battery-free smart toys.

无电池电子智能玩具：可持续摩擦电动纳米发电机商业化的一步

下一代玩具旨在娱乐儿童并与儿童互动。这种玩具需要电源，通常是必须经常更换的电池，从而导致维护成本增加。最近，一种称为摩擦电纳米发电机（TENG）的创新型生物力学能量收集器被引入，它是一种可清除废物的环保型发电机。在这里，朝着TENG设备的商业化迈进的一步，我们提出了一种使用TENG技术开发无电池电子智能玩具的新颖方法。这种利用生物力学能量的健壮，环保且具有成本效益的方法可以将传统玩具转变为智能玩具。凭借这一创新理念，我们开发了一种使用生物相容性材料的智能拍手玩具（SCT-TENG）和智能鸭子玩具（SDT-TENG）。我们采用了带有发光二极管的简单内置电路，这些发光二极管使用生物力学能量供电。SCT-TENG和SDT-TENG的输出电压为65 V_pp和260 V _p-p。我们相信，将TENG技术用于无电池电子智能玩具将为TENG的商业化和无电池智能玩具领域开辟新的可能性。
