About
Preeti Lata Mahapatra is a materials scientist whose research focuses on energy harvesting, two-dimensional (2D) materials, and sustainable nanotechnology. Her most notable contribution is the pioneering work on exfoliating naturally occurring silicates into 2D d-silicate structures, demonstrating a novel approach to generating electricity from abundant mineral sources. In her highly cited 2023 paper, she showed that repeated vertical movement of a d-silicate device can produce up to ∼400 mV of voltage, opening new pathways for eco-friendly, low-cost energy harvesting. This work, already garnering 18 citations, bridges the gap between natural mineral resources and advanced nanogenerators, offering a sustainable alternative to synthetic 2D materials. Mahapatra’s research is distinguished by its emphasis on using earth-abundant materials to address energy challenges, making her a rising figure in the field of green nanotechnology. Her achievements highlight the potential of integrating mineralogy with device engineering, inspiring future work in self-powered systems and wearable electronics.
