About

Hongyu Ma is a leading researcher in flexible energy storage and microelectronics, with a focus on laser-induced graphene (LIG) technologies for high-performance, wearable devices. Their most cited work, "High-Voltage Flexible Microsupercapacitors Based on Laser-Induced Graphene" (2018, 101 citations), introduced the first planar in-series architecture for flexible microsupercapacitors (MSCs), enabling high-voltage operation critical for powering soft robotics and dielectric elastomers. This breakthrough addressed a key limitation in portable electronics by achieving compact, bendable energy storage without sacrificing voltage output. Ma’s contributions have advanced the practical integration of LIG into next-generation autonomous systems, bridging materials science and device engineering. Their research continues to influence the design of scalable, high-energy-density microdevices, with implications for biomedical sensors, environmental monitoring, and human-machine interfaces. By demonstrating that flexible MSCs can rival rigid counterparts in voltage performance, Ma has opened new pathways for truly deformable, self-powered electronics—a vital step toward ubiquitous smart systems.
