Venue: 中科院物理所A楼三层会议室
Speaker: Dr. Renyun Zhang

Mid Sweden University

Introduction:
The motion of human body are found to be a energy source that can be harvested using triboelectric nanongenerators (TENG). In most of the cases, the body motion is used to trigger an external (TENG). Our studies show that charges can be created on human body when contact with other materials, and can be harvested directly using TENG. The mechanism behind is the unique biological structure and the electrical properties of human body.
