About

Chih-I Wu is a pioneering researcher in the field of advanced nanomaterials and self-powered healthcare electronics, with a particular focus on triboelectric energy harvesting and smart fabric technologies. His most notable contribution is the development of a facile, fabric-compatible borophene nanocomposite for self-powered smart assistive and wound healing applications, a 2022 work that has already garnered 69 citations. This breakthrough demonstrates Wu’s ability to engineer novel triboelectric materials—specifically, a borophene/ecoflex nanocomposite—that can harvest ambient mechanical energy and provide multifunctional sensing capabilities directly from wearable textiles. By enabling flexible, biocompatible platforms that power themselves without batteries, his research addresses critical challenges in next-generation healthcare, from real-time wound monitoring to assistive devices for mobility-impaired users. Wu’s work stands out for its practical, scalable approach to integrating cutting-edge two-dimensional materials into everyday fabrics, bridging the gap between laboratory innovation and real-world medical applications. His achievements highlight a deep expertise in materials science, nanotechnology, and biomedical engineering, positioning him as a key contributor to the rapidly evolving field of self-powered wearable electronics.
