The development of nanogenerators (NGs) with optimal performances and functionalities requires more novel materials. Over the past decade, biopolymer nanofibers (BPNFs) have become critical sustainable building blocks in energy-related fields because they have distinctive nanostructures and properties and can be obtained from abundant and renewable resources. This review summarizes recent advances in the use of BPNFs for NG development. We will begin by introducing various strategies for fabricating BPNFs with diverse structures and performances. Then, we will systematically present the utilization of polysaccharide and protein nanofibers for NGs. We will mainly focus on the use of BPNFs to generate bulk materials with tailored structures and properties for assembling of triboelectric and piezoelectric NGs. The use of BPNFs to construct NGs for the generation of electricity from moisture and osmosis is also discussed. Finally, we illustrate our personal perspectives on several issues that require special attention with regard to future developments in this active field.
开发具有最佳性能和功能的纳米发电机（NGs）需要更多新型材料。在过去十年中，生物聚合物纳米纤维（BPNFs）已成为能源相关领域至关重要的可持续构建材料，因为它们具有独特的纳米结构和性能，并且可以从丰富的可再生资源中获取。本综述总结了在利用BPNFs开发NGs方面的最新进展。我们将首先介绍制造具有不同结构和性能的BPNFs的各种策略。然后，我们将系统地介绍多糖和蛋白质纳米纤维在NGs中的应用。我们将主要关注利用BPNFs来制备具有定制结构和性能的块状材料，用于组装摩擦电和压电NGs。还讨论了使用BPNFs构建NGs以从湿气和渗透中发电的情况。最后，我们阐述了对于这个活跃领域未来发展中几个需要特别关注的问题的个人观点。
