About

Basanta K. Panigrahi is a leading researcher in advanced materials and self-powered systems, with a primary focus on triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) and their integration into robotics and sensing technologies. His most-cited work, "A new insight into the ZIF-67 based triboelectric nanogenerator for self-powered robot object recognition" (2021, 80 citations), represents a significant breakthrough in the field. Panigrahi pioneered the use of ZIF-67 metal-organic frameworks to develop additively manufactured TENGs, demonstrating how room-temperature solvent-assisted synthesis can enhance physiochemical properties for energy harvesting. His key contribution lies in creating self-powered robotic systems capable of object recognition without external batteries, merging materials chemistry with practical robotics. This work has garnered substantial attention for its potential to revolutionize autonomous systems and wearable electronics. Panigrahi's research bridges fundamental materials science and applied engineering, offering scalable solutions for sustainable energy and intelligent sensing. His innovative approach to TENG design continues to inspire new directions in self-powered technologies, making him a notable figure in the intersection of nanomaterials and robotics.
