About

Zhenyu Feng is pioneering the integration of triboelectricity with organic electronics, carving a new frontier in self-powered, mechanically responsive devices. His key research areas span triboelectric nanogenerators, organic field-effect transistors, and the development of artificial sensory systems. Feng’s most notable contribution is his work on triboelectric potential gated transistors, where he demonstrated how mechanical motion can directly control electronic behavior—a breakthrough that has inspired logic circuits, multifunctional sensors, and artificial sensory neurons. His 2022 paper on a triboelectric potential-powered high-performance organic transistor array, which has garnered 28 citations, introduced a critical figure of merit for the field, providing a benchmark for future device development. By enabling transistors that respond to touch and pressure without an external power source, Feng’s research lays the groundwork for next-generation human-machine interfaces and soft robotics. His work is not only advancing fundamental understanding but also pushing toward practical, energy-autonomous electronics that blur the line between mechanical and electrical systems.
