Engineering design based high output energy harvester

Ion-enhanced field emission energy harvester

Conventional TENGs have some limitations including air breakdown, field emission and imbalance between high voltage and low current. Our group can design high output electrical discharge TENG via concentrated on the metal-metal contact local point design and new electrical mechanism that overcome basic TENG limitations.

Scavenging wind power energy

Conventional wind‑driven TENGs suffer from low efficiency, intermittent airflow capture and material degradation. Our group can design high‑output wind‑energy TENGs via optimized interface configurations and robust structural concepts that overcome these basic limitations.

Harvesting mechanical energy in daily life

Traditional motion‑based TENGs face unpredictable force profiles, limited interaction area and rapid performance decay under repeated use. Our group design high‑output, flexible TENGs via adaptable contact schemes and material enhancements that ensure reliable energy harvesting across various everyday activities.

Employing body-mediated energy

Existing energy harvesters using physical movement are restricted by inconsistent energy generation, low efficiency and signal instability. Our group can design high‑output body‑energy TENGs via improved interface integration and circuit‑level adaptations that stabilize charge transfer and boost output.
