About

Zhenyuan Xu is a leading researcher in flexible electronics and self-powered systems, with a focus on triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) and human–computer interaction. Their most-cited work, “Ultrastretchable, Self-Healing Conductive Hydrogel-Based Triboelectric Nanogenerators for Human–Computer Interaction” (2023, 305 citations), introduces a novel ionic hydrogel (PTSM) composed of polypropylene amine, tannic acid, sodium alginate, and MXene. This breakthrough material enables highly stretchable, self-healing conductive hydrogels that significantly enhance the performance and durability of TENGs, paving the way for next-generation wearable devices and virtual reality interfaces. Xu’s contributions address critical challenges in flexible sensing, including mechanical resilience and electrical stability under deformation. With over 300 citations on this single paper, their work has rapidly influenced the fields of soft robotics, energy harvesting, and interactive electronics. Xu’s innovative integration of multifunctional hydrogels with triboelectric principles marks a notable achievement, positioning them as a rising authority in sustainable, human-centric technology design.
