- Building upon our earlier reports (Nano Energy 30(2016), 470-480; Nano Energy 40(2017), 471-480), the work introduced novel and significant tribo-positive material for developing energy harvesters with high power density, comparable to photovoltaics. The research is gaining international traction and has led to the development of high-efficiency, fly-buck circuits for fast-charging applications. The developed correlation between surface chemistry and surface contact potential has led to further publications, Nano Energy 67(2020), 104291. The publication formed the basis of a recent (2019) DST-NRF Newton Fellowship Award (ECR180426324617) for Soin at the University of South Africa.
