Nanomaterials | Selected Papers on Nanogenerators
The year 2025 marks the 20th anniversary of the first nanogenerator, a pioneering invention by Professor Zhong Lin Wang's group that has since catalyzed the development of numerous innovative fields, such as piezotronics, tribotronics, and self-powered systems. To commemorate this milestone, we are pleased to present a curated collection of articles from Nanomaterials (ISSN: 2079-4991). These papers showcase significant advancements within nanogenerator research, and we hope they serve as a valuable resource for the community.
