Towards a deeper consciousness of the human being in preserving the natural environment of our planet, huge effort is nowadays being exerted by scientists all over the world to use green and free energy. The main motivation for this effort is to protect humanity, today and in the future, from the big natural disasters that often affect the poorest areas of the globe. In this work, TENGs (triboelectric nanogenerators) with an inertial mass on their surface are proposed to be used as self-powered seismic sensors (SEIS-TENGs) in the detection of seismic waves with global connectivity to the Internet of Things (IoT). For this purpose, various TENGs with several characteristics such as low cost, flame retardancy, and frequency-dependent sensitivity were fabricated with different materials such as Paper, Polyvinylalcohol (PVA), Polyvinyledenefluoride (PVDF) and PDMS. The TENGs based on PVA10PPA-PEI/PVDF exhibited the highest sensitivity of 280 Hz and the ones based on Paper/PDMS were very low cost and easy to manufacture. Pulses, artificially generated with an electro-mechanical machine operating in fatigue mode, were remotely transmitted by using LoRA communication protocol and could be monitored in the TTS (The Thing of Stack) platform. Finally, a realistic application of SEIS-TENG was carried out by simulating earthquakes with a triaxial shaking table and the seimsic waves were measured using SEIS-TENGs. Interestingly, they exhibited a similar response to the acceleration, velocity, and displacement, and with today’s commercial accelerometers such as micromechanical systems (MEMS). Furthermore, the number of quakes detected by SEIS-TENG was very similar to that of the MEMS. The results obtained demonstrate that the SEIS-TENGs are very promising to be employed in a global IoT seismic network. They will allow measuring ground oscillations to prevent the catastrophes caused by earthquakes.

为了加深人类在保护地球自然环境方面的意识，当今世界各地的科学家都在努力使用绿色和免费能源。这项工作的主要动机是保护人类在今天和未来免受经常影响全球最贫困地区的大型自然灾害。在这项工作中，表面具有惯性质量的 TENG（摩擦纳米发电机）被提议用作自供电地震传感器（SEIS-TENG），用于检测与物联网 (IoT) 具有全球连接性的地震波。为此，使用不同的材料（如纸、聚乙烯醇（PVA）、聚偏二氟乙烯 (PVDF) 和 PDMS。基于 PVA10PPA-PEI/PVDF 的 TENG 表现出最高的 280 Hz 灵敏度，而基于 Paper/PDMS 的 TENG 成本非常低且易于制造。由在疲劳模式下运行的机电机器人工生成的脉冲通过 LoRA 通信协议进行远程传输，并可在 TTS（The Thing of Stack）平台中进行监控。最后，通过使用三轴振动台模拟地震，对 SEIS-TENG 进行了实际应用，并使用 SEIS-TENG 测量了地震波。有趣的是，它们对加速度、速度和位移以及当今的商用加速度计（例如微机械系统 (MEMS)）表现出类似的响应。此外，SEIS-TENG 检测到的地震数量与 MEMS 非常相似。获得的结果表明，SEIS-TENG 非常有希望用于全球物联网地震网络。它们将允许测量地面振动，以防止地震造成的灾难。
