About

Yongwu Peng is a leading researcher in the field of advanced functional materials and smart devices, with a core focus on developing high-performance actuators and sensors. His most significant contribution is the creation of electrothermal actuators (ETAs) that achieve an unprecedented combination of ultrafast response speed (within 0.1 seconds), large deformation (bending over 360°), and low driving voltage (under 1 V)—a breakthrough that overcomes long-standing trade-offs in actuator design. Peng’s work on AgNWs/Ti3C2Tx MXene-based multi-responsive actuators has further expanded the potential for programmable smart devices, while his development of a multifunctional piezoresistive sensor using MXene/CNC/WPU aerogel demonstrates exceptional sensitivity and thermal insulation for motion detection. With his most-cited papers accumulating over 65 citations, Peng’s research is highly influential in advancing wearable electronics, human–computer interaction, and robotics. His innovative integration of MXene and nanomaterials into practical, multi-responsive systems marks him as a key figure in next-generation smart material engineering.
