- The first UK report on triboelectric nanogenerators for energy harvesting applications, underpinned by our earlier work for polymorphism control of piezoelectric polymers (Chem. Commun. 51(39) (2015), 8257-8260). The work led to a PhD studentship award (P. Zhao, 2016-2019) and formed the basis for support of another 2 studentships (2017-2020). The knowledge basis arising from the work has led to the delivery of five other high-impact publications and national (Harwell, Queens University Belfast), international collaborations with China (Zhejiang University) and Canada (University of Alberta). The application is now feeding into diagnostic and sensing projects e.g. UKRI-Strength in Places (107138) – Artemis
