About

Ruiyuan Mao is a leading researcher in flexible electronics and wearable energy harvesting, with a primary focus on self-healing conductive hydrogels and triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs). His most cited work, "Ultrastretchable, Self-Healing Conductive Hydrogel-Based Triboelectric Nanogenerators for Human–Computer Interaction" (2023, 305 citations), introduces a novel ionic hydrogel (PTSM) composed of polypropylene amine, tannic acid, sodium alginate, and MXene. This breakthrough enables highly stretchable, self-repairing materials that can power flexible sensors and control devices, directly advancing human-computer interaction and virtual reality technologies. Mao’s contributions have significantly impacted the development of durable, skin-like electronics that can withstand mechanical deformation while maintaining electrical performance. His work bridges materials science and practical device engineering, offering solutions for next-generation wearable systems. With over 300 citations on a single paper, Mao’s research is widely recognized for its innovation and applicability, positioning him as a key figure in the push toward truly integrated, resilient electronic skins and energy-autonomous wearables.
