About
Jinhui Nie is a leading researcher in the field of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) and self-powered sensor systems, with a focus on developing intelligent, stretchable, and metal-free tactile interfaces for robotics and personalized healthcare. Their most-cited work, “Stretchable Triboelectric–Photonic Smart Skin for Tactile and Gesture Sensing” (256 citations), pioneered a multimodal smart skin that integrates triboelectric and photonic sensing for robotic hands, enabling both tactile and gesture recognition. Nie further advanced precision motion sensing with a self-powered angle sensor achieving nanoradian resolution (170 citations), a breakthrough for robotic arms and rehabilitation devices. Their fully elastic, metal-free tactile sensors (165 citations) addressed a critical gap by detecting both normal and tangential forces, mimicking human touch. Notable contributions include inflammation-free, gas-permeable on-skin TENGs using soluble nanofibers, and bionic antennae arrays for noncontact motion identification. Nie’s work also extends to actuators, microfluidics, and zero-leakage microvalves, demonstrating broad impact across soft robotics and medical devices. With over 800 total citations across these key papers, Nie’s innovations are foundational for next-generation self-powered, wearable, and robotic sensing systems.
