About

Basudev Lahiri is a pioneering researcher in the field of two-dimensional (2D) materials and energy harvesting, with a particular focus on sustainable nanogenerators derived from natural minerals. His most notable contribution is the development of 2D d-silicates from abundant natural minerals, demonstrated in his 2023 paper (18 citations), which shows that mechanically moving these exfoliated silicate devices can generate up to ∼400 mV of voltage through a robotic response. This work opens new pathways for eco-friendly, low-cost energy harvesting technologies. Lahiri’s research lies at the intersection of materials science, nanotechnology, and renewable energy, where he explores how naturally occurring layered minerals can be transformed into functional 2D structures for mechanical-to-electrical energy conversion. His findings have significant implications for self-powered sensors and wearable electronics, offering a green alternative to conventional energy harvesters. With a growing citation impact, Lahiri is recognized for bridging fundamental materials discovery with practical energy applications, making him a key figure in the advancement of sustainable nanotechnology.
