Kunpu Li

About

Kunpu Li is a researcher at the forefront of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) and self-powered sensing systems. His work centers on developing flexible, energy-harvesting interfaces that can power next-generation wearable and mobile electronics without batteries. In his highly cited 2018 study, "Investigation of Position Sensing and Energy Harvesting of a Flexible Triboelectric Touch Pad," Li demonstrated a dual-function flexible touch pad that not only detects precise contact locations but simultaneously harvests mechanical energy from the touch itself. This innovation bridges the gap between user interface and energy autonomy, a critical step for sustainable IoT devices. With 38 citations, this foundational paper has influenced subsequent work in self-powered human-machine interfaces. Li’s contributions are shaping how we think about integrating energy harvesting directly into the surfaces we interact with daily, making him a notable figure in the advancement of practical, maintenance-free electronic skins and smart surfaces.
