Research Projects

In the development of wearable and flexible electronics, the demanding requirements for ultrathin, lightweight and wearable sensor systems create challenges in power supply and in designs for low power operation. To date, most of the portable and wearable electronic devices are powered by conventional electrochemical Li-ion batteries, which are extremely restricted in the lifetime, sustainable operation, and environment issues. There is a need to develop manufacturing processes that easily translate from prototyping to production and back whenever there is a need for customizing the technology. There is also a need for materials that would enable these technologies to be scaled up so that they became real products rather than prototypes or proofs-of-concept. TENG-MIsPW( Triboelectric Nano generator based on MXene Ink for self-Powered Weighing) will address cutting-edge research in material science, engineering, and physics, which will rely on the realization of TENG based on conductive nanomaterial inks. This project will be based on MXene-based TENG for self-powered weighing applications. This proposal exploits the enhance the output performance of the TENG and numerical simulations of the TENG devices and incorporates the devices in self-powered weighing sensor applications.
