About

Xian Fu is a leading researcher in the field of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) and self-powered smart skin systems. His work focuses on developing advanced tactile and gesture sensing technologies for bionic robots and human-machine interfaces. Fu’s major contributions include the creation of a stretchable triboelectric–photonic smart skin (STPS) that enables multidimensional tactile and gesture sensing, as detailed in his highly cited 2018 paper (256 citations). He has also demonstrated the remarkable advantages of TENGs over electromagnetic generators for harvesting small-amplitude mechanical energy, a finding published in 2019 (217 citations). More recently, Fu has explored the use of TENGs as active tactile stimulators for multifunctional sensing and artificial synapses (2022, 34 citations), and has achieved ultraweak mechanical stimuli actuation with high energy conversion efficiency (2022, 13 citations). His work is pivotal for advancing wearable electronics, intelligent robotics, and energy harvesting from ambient mechanical sources. With over 500 total citations, Fu’s research continues to shape the future of self-powered sensing and energy technologies.
