About
Yunlong Zi has established himself as a leading innovator at the intersection of flexible electronics, energy harvesting, and self-powered sensing systems. His research centers on triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), stretchable electronics, and human-machine interfaces — fields where he has made transformative contributions that are reshaping how we think about powering next-generation devices. Zi's most celebrated work, garnering 328 citations, introduced a highly shape-adaptive energy harvester using conductive liquid encapsulated in polymer, offering a breakthrough solution for deformable power sources in wearable electronics. His subsequent research expanded into self-powered tactile sensors capable of simultaneous material and texture recognition (175 citations), washable human-machine interfaces for soft robotics (95 citations), and fully self-powered wireless sensing platforms that eliminate the need for conventional multi-module transmission systems (118 citations). Beyond energy harvesting, Zi has demonstrated remarkable versatility, contributing to underwater ultrasonic sensing, embedded 3D-printed hydrogels for tissue engineering and soft robotics, and adhesive ionic elastomers for multifunctional stretchable electronics. With over 1,000 cumulative citations across his most impactful publications, his work consistently bridges fundamental material science with practical engineering applications, making him an essential reference for researchers advancing wearable technology, IoT infrastructure, and intelligent sensing systems.
