AB  - <jats:title>ABSTRACT</jats:title>                  <jats:p>                    Wearable textile triboelectric nanogenerators (TTENGs) offer a promising platform for wearable energy harvesting and selfpowered sensing. In this work, we present a wearable spraycoated graphenebased TTENG, in which a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) adhesion layer serves to enhance the interfacial performance. The graphene/PVA textile (Gr/PVATex) electrode exhibits a significantly low sheet resistance of 479.3 Ω                     <jats:sup>−1</jats:sup>                    , which is over four orders of magnitude lower than that of a pure graphene textile (GrTex) electrode (5.4 MΩ                     <jats:sup>−1</jats:sup>                    ), while maintaining stable electrical conductivity after more than 1000 bending cycles. The graphene/PVA layer functions as both the electric induction electrode and triboelectric component, enhancing the wearability by increasing the average total strain by 60.5% while maintaining the ultimate tensile strength in both warp (103.3 MPa) and weft (48.6 MPa) directions. This mechanical reinforcement ensures stable and durable performance of the TTENG device. The device was optimized for simultaneous pressure (with areanormalized sensitivity of 0.176 kPa                    <jats:sup>−1</jats:sup>                    cm                    <jats:sup>−2</jats:sup>                    from 9.8 to 120 kPa and 0.003 kPa                    <jats:sup>−1</jats:sup>                    cm                    <jats:sup>−2</jats:sup>                    from 120.0 to 318.5 kPa) and biomotion sensing, making it wellsuited for applications such as rehabilitation monitoring, activity tracking, and emergency response. This work presents a facile, lowcost fabrication strategy for TTENGs and highlights the functio
