About
Wei-Yuan Cheng is a pioneering researcher in sustainable energy harvesting and self-powered sensor systems, with a focus on triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) and waste-to-energy technologies. His most notable contribution is the development of a deformable, resilient, and mechanically-durable triboelectric nanogenerator fabricated from recycled coffee waste, a breakthrough that addresses both environmental sustainability and wearable electronics. This work, which has garnered 98 citations, demonstrates how discarded materials can be repurposed into high-performance, flexible power sources for wearable devices and self-powered smart sensors. Cheng’s research bridges the gap between eco-friendly materials and advanced energy conversion, offering a scalable solution for powering next-generation Internet of Things (IoT) devices without reliance on traditional batteries. His innovative approach not only reduces electronic waste but also enhances the mechanical robustness and adaptability of energy harvesters, making them suitable for real-world applications in health monitoring, motion sensing, and smart textiles. Through his work, Cheng has established himself as a leader in the intersection of green materials science and energy harvesting, inspiring further exploration into circular economy-driven technologies for self-powered systems.
