Laboratory Overview
The Energy Collection and Intelligent Sensing Laboratory was established in 2022 by Professor Wu Hao. Our laboratory is dedicated to studying the fundamental principles of the conversion between micro mechanical energy and electrical energy, particularly the power generation mechanism based on solid/liquid interactions. Based on theoretical breakthroughs, develop new energy harvesting devices that efficiently convert micro energy such as waves, droplets, breezes, and biological movements to power distributed sensors in the Internet of Things. At the same time, we will develop a self driving sensing system for application in wearable devices, health monitoring, and remote wireless sensing.
Research Features and Advantages
We have achieved full chain research results in the basic theory, process methods, and device applications of energy harvesting technology, and are in an international leading position. In theory, a standard physical model for water droplet energy harvesting was established for the first time, and a new mechanism for efficient harvesting was proposed. In terms of methodology, research and development of high-density, ultra stable charge regulation and superhydrophobic electrode technology can solve problems such as low device transduction efficiency and poor weather resistance. In terms of application, develop various high-power energy harvesting devices that can efficiently collect wave energy, water droplet energy, wind energy, and human kinetic energy, and construct a self driven intelligent sensing system.
