About

Fu-Chun Sun is a pioneering researcher at the forefront of smart materials and energy harvesting technologies, with a primary focus on triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) and 4D printing. His most influential work, "4D-printed self-recovered triboelectric nanogenerator for energy harvesting and self-powered sensor" (2021), has garnered 77 citations, establishing a foundational bridge between additive manufacturing and self-powered systems. Sun’s key contribution lies in developing 4D-printed structures that can autonomously recover their shape after deformation, enabling TENGs to sustainably harvest mechanical energy from the environment while serving as self-powered sensors. This innovation addresses critical challenges in durability and adaptability for wearable electronics and remote monitoring devices. By integrating shape-memory polymers with triboelectric principles, Sun has opened new pathways for creating intelligent, maintenance-free energy solutions. His work not only advances the practical deployment of TENGs but also inspires future research into stimuli-responsive materials for energy and sensing applications. For students and researchers, Sun’s achievements exemplify how interdisciplinary thinking—merging materials science, 3D printing, and energy engineering—can yield transformative technologies poised to power the Internet of Things and sustainable smart systems.
