Abstract With the rapid progress of artificial intelligence, Internet of things, and 5G technologies, humans are moving toward the era of smart city. Smart city can use smart devices to monitor/control all of the infrastructures and services in a sustainable and intelligent way. Various types of sensors are employed for real-time monitoring of the parameters of interest to develop a safer and more convenient environment. In recent years, the number of sensors in the city has been increasing rapidly, distributed all over the city. Therefore, how to provide power to drive these sensors is a main issue to be focused on. Triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) based on the coupling effect of triboelectrification and electrostatic induction is a powerful technology and can efficiently convert mechanical energy into electrical energy/signal. It can not only realize the characteristics of being self-powered but also extend the method of sensing. Besides, TENG has many advantages such as a high sensitivity, simple structure, lightweight, and so on, which make it developed rapidly in the past decade. In this chapter, TENG that acts as sensing for smart city is described in detail in the following two aspects: safety of smart city that makes living in the city safer and healthier and services of smart city that make daily life more convenient and effective. It is believed that TENG can greatly promote the development of smart city and improve the living quality of people. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023.
