Incorporating inorganic semiconductors into fabric triboelectric nanogenerators (F-TENG) offers a pathway to mitigate charge-density saturation effects and enhance charge generation. By explicitly exploiting friction-induced temperature gradients within the fabric, this study introduces a tribo-thermoelectric textile concept that goes beyond purely triboelectric F-TENG architectures. In this work, n-type silver selenide (Ag2Se) is integrated into a rayon fabric matrix to harvest mechanical energ
