Energy harvesting fabrics convert mechanical, thermal, solar, or electromagnetic energy into electricity through embedded nanogenerators or fiber-integrated devices. These smart textiles use technologies such as piezoelectric yarns, thermoelectric threads, and triboelectric layers to power wearable electronics, health sensors, or military communication tools. Their flexible, lightweight, and washable properties make them ideal for continuous monitoring in sports, healthcare, and emergency response. As research improves energy conversion efficiency and integration with garment design, these fabrics are set to redefine the future of self-powered wearable technologies.
