1. Piezoelectric Nanogenerators Based on Zinc Oxide Nanowire ArraysScience · 2006 · 7,923 citations

   We have converted nanoscale mechanical energy into electrical energy by means of piezoelectric zinc oxide nanowire (NW) arrays. The aligned NWs are deflected with a conductive atomic force microscope tip in contact mode. The coupling of piezoelectric and semiconducting properties…

2. Synthesis of Tetrahexahedral Platinum Nanocrystals with High-Index Facets and High Electro-Oxidation ActivityScience · 2007 · 3,075 citations

   The shapes of noble metal nanocrystals (NCs) are usually defined by polyhedra that are enclosed by {111} and {100} facets, such as cubes, tetrahedra, and octahedra. Platinum NCs of unusual tetrahexahedral (THH) shape were prepared at high yield by an…

3. Triboelectric Nanogenerators as New Energy Technology for Self-Powered Systems and as Active Mechanical and Chemical SensorsACS Nano · 2013 · 3,072 citations

   Triboelectrification is an effect that is known to each and every one probably since ancient Greek time, but it is usually taken as a negative effect and is avoided in many technologies. We have recently invented a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG)…

4. Direct-Current Nanogenerator Driven by Ultrasonic WavesScience · 2007 · 2,272 citations

   We have developed a nanowire nanogenerator that is driven by an ultrasonic wave to produce continuous direct-current output. The nanogenerator was fabricated with vertically aligned zinc oxide nanowire arrays that were placed beneath a zigzag metal electrode with a small…

5. On Maxwell's displacement current for energy and sensors: the origin of nanogeneratorsMaterials Today · 2017 · 2,104 citations

   Self-powered system is a system that can sustainably operate without an external power supply for sensing, detection, data processing and data transmission. Nanogenerators were first developed for self-powered systems based on piezoelectric effect and triboelectrification effect for converting tiny mechanical…

6. Triboelectric Nanogenerator: A Foundation of the Energy for the New EraAdvanced Energy Materials · 2018 · 2,020 citations

   Abstract As the world is marching into the era of the internet of things (IoTs) and artificial intelligence, the most vital development for hardware is a multifunctional array of sensing systems, which forms the foundation of the fourth industrial revolution…
