Academician Wang Zhonglin is an internationally recognized leading scientist in the field of nanotechnology and the founder of nano-energy research. He invented the piezoelectric nano-generator and friction nano-generator, put forward the original concepts of self-driving system and blue energy for the first time, and defined nano-energy as "energy in the new era".

Academician Wang Zhonglin initiated two disciplines: piezoelectric electronics and piezoelectric optoelectronics. His original innovative physical effects led the basic research of the third generation semiconductor nanomaterials, making zinc oxide nanostructures as important as carbon nanotubes and silicon nanowires.

Academician Wang Zhonglin has made great achievements in scientific research. He has published more than 65,438+0,500 papers in international first-class journals (including more than 50 articles in Nature, Science and its sub-journals), with 200 patents, 7 monographs and more than 20 works and conference collections.

Wang Zhonglin won the "Global Energy Award"

On the afternoon of July 6th, 2023 17, Beijing time, the 2023 Global Energy Prize was announced. Academician Wang Zhonglin, chief scientist of Institute of Nanoenergy and Systems, China Academy of Sciences, won the international energy prize for inventing the friction nanogenerator, a new energy technology for human beings.

Since 20 19, the global energy prize has been awarded to a scholar every year in three aspects: traditional energy, unconventional energy and new ways of energy application. This time, Wang Zhonglin won the "non-traditional energy" award. This is also the second time that he won the world's important science and technology award in the energy field after winning the highest award in the energy field-Eni Award on 20 18.
