About
Smarajit Manna is a leading researcher in the field of flexible energy harvesting and self-powered nanosystems, with a core focus on piezoelectric nanogenerators and advanced nanomaterials. His most impactful work involves the strategic integration of two-dimensional materials, such as few-layer MoS₂, into polymer nanofiber webs to create highly sensitive, flexible energy devices. His landmark 2016 paper, which has garnered over 109 citations, introduced an ultrasensitive piezoelectric nanogenerator made from MoS₂-modulated poly(vinylidene fluoride) nanofibers. This work demonstrated a dramatic enhancement in output performance, paving the way for self-powered electronics and robotics. Manna’s major contributions lie in engineering the interface between 2D materials and polymer matrices to boost piezoelectric response and mechanical flexibility. His research has significantly advanced the development of wearable sensors and portable energy harvesters that can operate without external batteries. By solving key challenges in sensitivity and durability, Manna’s work continues to inspire new generations of flexible, autonomous electronic systems for healthcare, environmental monitoring, and soft robotics.
