Title：Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) for sustainable energy and AI
Abstract：Triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) was invented by Wang’s group in 2012, which is based on the coupling of triboelectrification and electrostatic induction effects for converting mechanical energy into electric power. TENG is playing a vitally important role in the distributed energy and self-powered systems, with applications in internet of things, AL, environmental/infrastructural monitoring, medical science, environmental science, and security. TENG is most effective for utilization of high-entropy energy, which is the random, low-density, low-grade mechanical energy widely-distributed in our living environment and in nature. There are now over 16,000 scientists distributed in 90 countries and regions around the globe who have published papers on TENG. This presentation will first focus on the advances in fundamental science made due to the discovery of TENG. Then we will focus on the potential industrial impacts that have been made by TENG. We will show how this new field will benefit to the sustainable development of humankinds.

Title：Energy Storage & Sensor Materials and Databases
Abstract：Hydrogen is regarded as one of the most promising alternatives to the energy crisis due to its high heating value, wide availability, and environmental compatibility. The primary technical components of the hydrogen energy system cover the production, supply, storage, conversion, and employment of hydrogen, among which the storage, conversion and safety of hydrogen are consistently the keys to the effective utilization of hydrogen energy. Studies of economic, highly efficient, and safe hydrogen storage materials are of great importance in fuel cell-based vehicles. On the other hand, the application of phase change materials (PCMs) for solar thermal-energy storage has received considerable attention in recent years due to their high storage density.
In recent years, our research effort has been focused in developing hydrogen storage and PCMs based on micro/nano-technology, etc. The promising nanomaterials for hydrogen storage materials such as MHx: M= Mg, La, Ni, etc., alanate, borohydride, and MOFs were conducted in our lab. In addition, hydrogen sensors were also studied. Furthermore, several composite PCMs with good performance have been synthesized through in-situ assembly, and their applications in thermal regulation of gypsum boards are presented.
In addition, the data-driven research paradigm-integrated high-throughput calculations, database, and machine learning is appealing to accelerate new material development. A hydrogen-storage materials database was established and hydrogen property predictions are carried out by using machine-learning methods.

Title ：Collaborative Design of Optoelectronic Integrated Antennas for Renewable Energy Systems
Abstract：In this keynote speech, two collaborative designs of optoelectronic integrated antennas for renewable energy systems are presented.
A 4 × 4 slot array antenna for the 5.8GHz frequency band has been proposed, which integrates solar cells and features lightweight and low profile (0.039 λ, where λ is the 5.8GHz wavelength in air). The compact and lightweight structure is realized by using coplanar waveguide feeding and foam substrate. The measured impedance matching frequency range is 5.3 to 6GHz. The gain range within the passband is 13.7 to 16.3dBi. Within the target frequency range of 5.725 to 5.85GHz, the peak gain measured is 14.8dBi, exhibiting unidirectional radiation characteristics. The solar cell covers 72.5% of the total antenna area, improving the photovoltaic power generation capacity.
A folded structure broadband antenna for 2G/3G/4G/5G communication below 6GHz has been proposed. Two solar cells are encapsulated at the top for radiation. In addition to the basic mode, higher-order modes were also introduced to expand the bandwidth, and the relative bandwidth of the solar cell antenna increased from 1.7GHz to 3.85GHz to 77.4%. The folding structure can control the reverse current of high-order modes, thereby achieving stable radiation performance. Adopting a folding structure, a unidirectional radiation mode is achieved throughout the entire passband. The coverage rate of solar cells with antenna aperture is 55%, which has photovoltaic power generation capability. With these excellent characteristics, this broadband solar cell antenna has broad application prospects in future green communication systems.
