"Triboelectric nanogenerators for sustainable energy and systems"
Introduction
Triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) was invented by Wang’s group in 2012, which is based on the coupling of triboelectrification and electrostatic induction effects for converting mechanical energy into electric power. TENG is playing a vitally important role in the distributed energy and self-powered systems, with applications in internet of things, environmental/infrastructural monitoring, medical science, environmental science, and security. TENG is most effective for utilization of high-entropy energy, which is the random, low-density, low-grade mechanical energy widely-distributed in our living environment and in nature. There are now over 15,000 scientists distributed in 83 countries and regions around the globe who have published papers on TENG. This presentation will first focus on the advances in fundamental science made due to the discovery of TENG. Then we will focus on the potential industrial impacts that have been made by TENG. We will show how this new field will benefit to the sustainable development of humankinds.
More about Dr. Zhong Lin Wang
Dr. Zhong Lin Wang is the Director of the Beijing Institute of Nanoenergy and Nanosystems, Director, and Regents' Professor and Hightower Chair at Georgia Institute of Technology. Dr. Wang pioneered the nanogenerators field for distributed energy, self-powered sensors and large-scale blue energy. He coined the fields of piezotronics and piezo-phototronics for the third generation semiconductors.
Dr. Wang has received the Global Energy Prize (2023); The Albert Einstein World Award of Science (2019); Diels-Planck lecture award (2019); ENI award in Energy Frontiers (2018); The James C. McGroddy Prize in New Materials from American Physical Society (2014); and MRS Medal from Materials Research Soci. (2011). Dr. Wang was elected as a fellow of the US National Academy of Inventors, foreign member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, member of European Academy of Sciences, member of European Academy of Engineering, foreign member of Korea Academy of Science and Technology; academician of Academia of Sinica, International fellow of Canadian Academy of Engineering. Dr. Wang is the founding editor and chief editor of an international journal Nano Energy.
