This review discusses recent advancements in energy harvesting technologies for wearable devices, emphasizing their potential to replace traditional batteries and enhance the functionality and comfort of wearable electronics. The paper highlights the importance of integrating energy harvesting with power management and energy storage systems to create practical powering modules for wearable devices. It also explores the design of next-generation wearable soft electronics that can improve quality of life and promote broader adoption in daily life. Energy harvesting technologies convert ambient energy from the human body or the environment into electrical power, offering a sustainable and autonomous power solution. These technologies include photovoltaic (PV) cells, biofuel cells (BFCs), triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs), and thermoelectric generators (TEGs). Each technology has unique advantages and challenges, such as the need for efficient energy conversion, storage, and management. PV cells convert light into electricity and are suitable for applications where light is available. BFCs generate power from biochemical reactions in body fluids, making them ideal for low-power devices integrated into clothing or directly onto the skin. TENGs and PENGs harvest energy from mechanical movements, such as walking or running, and are suitable for wearable devices that leverage mechanical energy. TEGs convert body heat into electricity and are particularly useful for continuous power generation in environments with consistent temperature differences. The review also discusses the challenges in integrating these technologies into wearable devices, including the need for efficient power management and energy storage solutions. It emphasizes the importance of developing flexible, lightweight, and comfortable materials and electronics to enhance the wearability and usability of wearable devices. The paper concludes by highlighting the potential of energy harvesting technologies to revolutionize wearable electronics and promote sustainable and self-powered devices for various applications.This review discusses recent advancements in energy harvesting technologies for wearable devices, emphasizing their potential to replace traditional batteries and enhance the functionality and comfort of wearable electronics.
