[Display omitted] • A stretchable electret achieves high surface charge and long charge stability. • A stretchable electret-based TENG achieves high charge density (0.2 mC m−2). • A power management module enhances power storage efficiency of the TENG. • The self-charging system provides a stable power supply for wearable electronics. Stretchable power sources capable of accommodating large deformations are urgently demanded for various stretchable and wearable electronics. In this work, we report a stretchable electret-based triboelectric nanogenerator (SEB-TENG) consisting of elastomeric electret as electrification materials and organo-hydrogels as electrodes. The electret elastomer, prepared by uniformly dispersing SiO 2 nanoparticles in the elastomer matrix and thermally injecting static charges, obtains a high surface potential, high tensile strain (796%), and long stability. Then, the SEB-TENG device also achieves high stretchability (423%) and high charge density (0.2 mC m−2). Furthermore, a power management module (PMM) is designed to maximize the energy utilization of the SEB-TENG. The integrated self-charging system can be sufficiently used to constantly power a watch, or charge a Li-ion coin cell which subsequently provides sustainable power supplies to a digital thermometer. This work provides a viable approach to simultaneously achieve high output performances and high stretchability of integrated power sources. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
