Nanogenerators have garnered significant scholarly interest as a groundbreaking approach to energy harvesting, encompassing applications in self-sustaining electronics, biomedical devices, and environmental monitoring. The rise of additive manufacturing has fundamentally transformed the production processes nanocomposites, allowing for detailed design refinement materials aimed at optimizing generation. This review presents comprehensive analysis 3D-printed nanocomposites context nanogenerator applications. By employing layer-by-layer deposition, multi-material integration, custom microstructural architectures, exhibit improved mechanical properties, superior conversion efficiency, increased structural complexity when compared their conventionally manufactured counterparts. Polymers, particularly those with inherent dielectric, piezoelectric, or triboelectric characteristics, serve critical functional matrices these composites, offering flexibility, processability, compatibility diverse nanoparticles. In particular, careful regulation nanoparticle distribution 3D printing significantly enhances piezoelectric functionalities, resulting higher output greater consistency. Recent investigations into three-dimensional-printed nanogenerators reveal extraordinary outputs, peak voltages much 120 V BaTiO3-PVDF densities surpassing 3.5 mJ/cm2, effective d33 values attaining 35 pC/N, thereby emphasizing transformative influence on performance harvesting. Furthermore, scalability cost-effectiveness provide substantial benefits by reducing material waste streamlining multi-phase processing. Nonetheless, despite advantages, challenges such resilience, long-term durability, fine-tuning parameters remain hurdles widespread adoption. assessment highlights potential advancing technology offers valuable insights future research directions developing high-efficiency, sustainable, scalable energy-harvesting systems.
