About

Yupeng Mao is a leading researcher in the field of self-powered systems and energy harvesting, with a particular focus on triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) and their applications in wearable and autonomous technologies. His major contributions include pioneering work on self-powered electronic skin, where he has advanced the development of flexible, skin-like sensors that mimic human tactile perception without external power sources. His highly cited 2024 review, *Recent Advances in Self-Powered Electronic Skin Based on Triboelectric Nanogenerators* (20 citations), synthesizes key breakthroughs in this emerging area. Mao has also made notable strides in marine energy harvesting, exemplified by his design of a self-powered underwater glider using a bidirectional swing-rotation hybrid nanogenerator (14 citations), which demonstrates the potential for long-duration, autonomous ocean monitoring. His work bridges materials science, mechanical engineering, and bio-inspired design, achieving significant impact in sustainable energy and smart sensing. With over 30 publications and growing citation influence, Mao’s research is shaping the future of self-powered systems for environmental and biomedical applications.
