Symposium Scope / Topics
The rapid development of functional materials, interface engineering, micro- and nanofabrication and low-power electronics has enabled nanogenerators to convert ubiquitous mechanical, thermal, fluidic and other ambient energy into usable electrical power and self-generated sensing signals. This symposium aims to provide an interdisciplinary forum for fundamental and applied research on nanogenerators and self-powered systems, spanning energy-conversion mechanisms, materials and interfaces, device architectures, fabrication and characterization, performance optimization, power management and system-level integration. Emphasis will be placed on flexible, wearable, biointegrated and environmentally robust systems that integrate energy harvesting, sensing, communication and intelligent data processing. The symposium welcomes theoretical, computational and experimental studies, as well as scalable manufacturing and application-oriented demonstrations for healthcare, human–machine interfaces, robotics, environmental and infrastructure monitoring, the Internet of Things and marine applications.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Mechanisms and modeling of nanoscale energy conversion and charge transport
- Functional materials, nanostructures and interface engineering
- Wearable electronics, AI-enabled sensing, human–machine interfaces, robotics, artificial intelligence of things (AIoT) and blue energy and marine applications
- AI-assisted design and optimization of nanogenerators
- Triboelectric, piezoelectric, thermal, fluidic and hybrid nanogenerators
- Self-powered sensors, MEMS, electronic skin and bioelectronics
- Energy storage, self-powered systems and power-management circuits
- Piezotronic, piezophototronic, tribotronic, and tribovoltaic devices
