Wind energy is one of the most promising and renewableenergy sources; however, owing to the limitations of device structures, col-lecting low-speed wind energy by triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) is still a huge challenge. To solve this problem, an ultra-durable and highly efficient windmill-like hybrid nanogenerator (W-HNG) is developed. Herein, the W-HNG composes coupled TENG and electromagnetic gen-erator (EMG) and adopts a rotational contact-separation mode. This unique design efficiently avoids the wear of friction materials and ensures a pro-longed service life. Moreover, the generator group is separated from the wind-driven part, which successfully prevents rotation resistance induced by the friction between rotor and stator in the conventional structures, and realizes low-speed wind energy harvesting. Additionally, the output char-acteristics of TENG can be complementary to the different performanceadvantages of EMG to achieve a satisfactory power production. The device is successfully driven when the wind speed is 1.8 m s?1, and the output power of TENG and EMG can achieve 0.95 and 3.7 mW, respectively. After power management, the W-HNG has been success-fully applied as a power source for electronic devices. This work provides a simple, reliable, and durable device for improved performance toward large-scale low-speed breeze energy harvesting.
