Professor Jae Y. Park's Team Developed a Self-Charging Eco-Friendly Power Cell

- Self-charging eco-friendly power cell that does not require rectification and power management circuitry -

- Operates only with triboelectric nanogenerators and supercapacitors -

- Published a paper (IF:19.069) in Nano Energy of Elsivir Publishing, an internationally renowned journal -

Professor Jae Y. Park's research team (Department of Electronic Engineering) of Kwangwoon University has developed a power cell that can directly charge the energy harvested from the triboelectric nanogenerator into a supercapacitor without a separate rectification and power management circuit. The self-charging power cell developed by the research team is a device that integrates two triboelectric nanogenerators and one supercapacitor and can be used in various IoT products such as metaverses, games, and smart homes. 

This research was carried out with the support of the National Research Foundation (NRF-2020R1A2C2012820) and the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy's Technology Innovation Project (NRF-2020R1A2C2012820) with government funds (Ministry of Science and ICT). The research results were published in Nano Energy (IF: 19.069) published by Elsevier, the world's leading journal specializing in energy materials and devices.
