In particular, the energy-harvesting films (EHFs) have become a research hotspot because of the indispensability of power source in various devices. However, the design and fabrication of such films that can capture or transform different types of energy from environments for multiple usages remains a challenge. Herein, the multifunctional flexible EHFs with effective electro-/photo-thermal abilities are proposed by successive spraying Ag microparticles and MXene suspension between on waterborne polyurethane films, supplemented by a hot-pressing. The optimal coherent film exhibits a high electrical conductivity (1.17×10<sup>4</sup> S m<sup>−1</sup>), excellent Joule heating performance (121.3&nbsp;°C) at 2&nbsp;V, and outstanding photo-thermal performance (66.2&nbsp;°C within 70&nbsp;s under 100 mW cm<sup>−1</sup>). In addition, the EHFs-based single-electrode triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) give short-circuit transferred charge of 38.9 nC, open circuit voltage of 114.7&nbsp;V, and short circuit current of 0.82 μA. More interestingly, the output voltage of TENG can be further increased via constructing the double triboelectrification layers. The comprehensive ability for harvesting various energies of the EHFs promises their potential to satisfy the corresponding requirements.</p> <p>Highlights:</p> <p>1 Flexible Ag microparticle/MXene-based energy-harvesting films were fabricated via simple spraying and hot-pressing.<br>2 Optimal film shows high conductivity and effective electro/photo-thermal abilities.<br>3 It can be easy assembled single-electrode TENG and the output voltage is enhanced by assembled two triboelectrification layers.</p>}, journal={Nano-Micro Letters}, author={Jia, Yunpeng and Pan, Yamin and Wang, Chunfeng and Liu, Chuntai and Shen, Changyu and Pan, Caofeng and Guo, Zhanhu and Liu, Xianhu}, year={2021}, month={Sep.}, pages={201} }
