- This significant publication combined the expertise on phase-specific synthesis of piezoelectric polymers (Chem. Commun. 51(39)(2015), 8257-8260; Energy Environ Sci. 7(2014), 1670-1679) and triboelectric effects (Nano Energy 30(2016), 470-480) to develop stress-induced polarisation based nanogenerators. The arising charge injection across interface was mapped using specialised SPM mode of Piezoelectric Force-Microscopy. The novel knowledge basis arising from the work has led to the delivery of five other high-impact publications including Nano Energy 46(2018), 63-72 and ACS Appl. Mater. Interfac. 10(6)(2018), 5880-5891 and formed the basis of a recent (2019) DST-NRF Newton Fellowship Award (ECR180426324617) for Soin at the University of South Africa.
