About
Rojalin Sahu is a rising leader in the field of advanced materials and self-powered systems, with a primary focus on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs). Her research bridges materials chemistry and energy harvesting, pioneering the integration of MOFs into additive manufacturing for next-generation self-powered electronics. Sahu’s major contributions include the development of ZIF-67-based TENGs, where she demonstrated how synthesis methodologies critically influence device performance. Her 2021 paper on ZIF-67 TENGs for self-powered robot object recognition (80 citations) introduced a novel room-temperature solvent-assisted synthesis, enabling efficient, scalable production of triboelectric devices. This work not only advanced fundamental understanding of MOF physiochemical properties but also provided a practical pathway for autonomous robotics. Her subsequent 2022 study (60 citations) systematically compared synthesis routes, revealing how fabrication techniques govern dual-mode TENG output and durability. Collectively, her research has garnered significant attention for its potential to eliminate batteries in IoT and robotics applications. Sahu’s work stands out for its interdisciplinary approach, combining materials design with additive manufacturing to create intelligent, self-sustaining systems—a vision that positions her as a key innovator in sustainable energy harvesting and smart device integration.
