About

Dongzhi Zhang is a leading researcher in flexible electronics, wearable sensors, and energy harvesting devices, with a focus on developing advanced materials for human–computer interaction and health monitoring. His major contributions include the creation of ultrastretchable, self-healing conductive hydrogels for triboelectric nanogenerators, which have garnered over 300 citations for their potential in virtual reality and wearable control systems. Zhang has also pioneered flexible pressure sensor arrays using PDMS films with surface protrusions, achieving 176 citations for applications in motion detection and wrist posture recognition. His work on molybdenum disulfide/hydroxyethyl cellulose/polyurethane sponge sensors, cited 89 times, integrates machine learning for speech recognition. More recently, he has developed MXene-based hydrogels for self-adhesive, ultrasensitive pressure sensors and bacterial cellulose-based multifunctional conductive hydrogels for strain sensing and supercapacitors. Zhang’s research also extends to gas sensing, with PANI/CoMoO₄ nanocomposite heterostructures for room-temperature NH₃ detection. With over 600 total citations across his top papers, his innovative designs in flexible, stretchable, and self-healing materials are driving advances in soft robotics, electronic skin, and low-temperature tactile sensing, making him a key figure in next-generation wearable technology.
