Biography:
王中林院士，中科院北京纳米能源与系统研究所所长和首席科学家、佐治亚理工学院终身校董事讲席教授、Hightower终身讲席教授。王教授是2019年爱因斯坦世界科学奖(Albert Einstein World Award of Science)、2018年埃尼奖 (ENI award – The “Nobel prize”for Energy)、2015年汤森路透引文桂冠奖、2014年美国物理学会James C. McGroddy新材料奖、和2011年美国材料学会奖章(MRS Medal)等国际大奖得主。他是中科院外籍院士、欧洲科学院院士、加拿大工程院外籍院士，国际纳米能源领域著名刊物 Nano Energy （最新IF：15.548）的创刊主编和现任主编。王院士是纳米能源研究领域的奠基人。他发明了压电纳米发电机和摩擦纳米发电机，首次提出自驱动系统和蓝色能源的原创大概念，将纳米能源定义为“新时代的能源”。王中林院士开创了压电电子学和压电光电子学两大学科，他提出的原创新物理效应引领了第三代半导体纳米材料的基础研究，使氧化锌纳米结构成为与碳纳米管和硅纳米线同等重要的一类材料研究体系。根据Google Scholar，王中林教授论文引用超23万次，标志影响力的H指数是228，目前在全球纳米科学与纳米技术领域总引用数和H指数排名世界第一；世界横跨所有领域前10万科学家统一综合排名第15名。
Self-powered system is a system that can sustainably operate without an external power supply for sensing, detection, data processing and data transmission. Nanogenerators (NG) were first developed for self-powered systems based on piezoelectric effect and triboelectrification effect for converting tiny mechanical energy into electricity, which have applications in internet of things, environmental/infrastructural monitoring, medical science, environmental science and security. NGs have three major application fields: micro/nano-power source, self-powered sensors and blue energy. We will present the applications of the NGs for harvesting body motion energy that will be used for medical science and bioengineering.
