Textile triboelectric nanogenerators for human respiratory monitoring with machine washability are developed through loom weaving of Cu-PET and PI-Cu-PET yarns. Triboelectric charges are generated at the yarn crisscross intersections to achieve a maximum short circuit current density of 15.50 mA m–2. By integrating into a chest strap, human respiratory rate and depth can be monitored.
