About
Gaowei Zhen is a leading innovator in the field of energy harvesting and self-powered sensing, with a primary focus on triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs). His most influential work, “Remarkable merits of triboelectric nanogenerator than electromagnetic generator for harvesting small-amplitude mechanical energy” (2019, 217 citations), fundamentally reshaped the energy harvesting landscape by demonstrating TENG’s superior efficiency in capturing low-frequency, small-amplitude mechanical energy—a domain where traditional electromagnetic generators fall short. This seminal contribution has guided subsequent research into micro-energy harvesting for wearable and IoT devices. Zhen further advanced the field with his work on a “Material Recognition Sensor Array by Electrostatic Induction and Triboelectric Effects” (2020, 29 citations), which introduced a flexible, self-powered sensor capable of identifying materials through electrostatic signatures. This innovation holds transformative potential for smart robotics and artificial intelligence applications. Through these achievements, Zhen has established himself as a key figure in sustainable energy technology, bridging fundamental triboelectric principles with practical, intelligent sensing solutions.
