About
Ranjini Sarkar is pioneering the development of next-generation wearable energy harvesters, with a primary focus on flexible piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs) and advanced electroactive polymer textiles. Her landmark 2023 work, "All‐Electrospun, Water‐Resistant, Breathable, Wearable, and Stable Metal Halide Perovskite Engineered Electroactive Polymer Textiles for Flexible Piezoelectric Nanogenerator," has already garnered 28 citations, signaling its rapid impact on the field. In this study, Sarkar ingeniously addressed the notorious environmental instability of halide perovskites by embedding them within a three-layer, all-electrospun textile architecture. This design achieves a rare combination of water resistance, breathability, and mechanical flexibility—critical attributes for practical wearable technology. Her major contribution lies in demonstrating that perovskite-based PENGs can be both high-performing and durable under real-world conditions, overcoming a key barrier to commercialization. By engineering stable, comfortable, and efficient energy-scavenging textiles, Sarkar is laying the groundwork for self-powered wearable electronics that could one day power medical sensors or fitness trackers directly from body movement. Her work represents a significant leap toward truly autonomous, fabric-based energy solutions.
