AbstractMultidirectional irregular breaking wave is the most prominent feature of the ocean surface and bears tremendous amounts of sustainable high‐entropy energy. However, the commercial utilization and harvesting efficiency are very limited low due to its low‐frequency and low‐amplitude. Here, a swing self‐regulated triboelectric nanogenerator (SSR‐TENG) is proposed, which can convert collected low‐grade breaking waves energy into electrical energy by regulating the oscillation frequency and resonance effect. Benefiting from simple and efficient structural strategy, SSR‐TENG outputs a peak power of 0.14 mW under wave height range of 6–11 cm, that the open‐circuit voltage, short‐circuit current and transferred charge increases is 5.8, 4, and 3.7 times compared to without self‐regulated design, respectively. This work gives a practical solution to the problems faced by harvesting high‐entropy ocean breaking waves energy, which exhibits large potential for building the self‐powered ocean assessment and meteorology system in the future.
