Welcome to the NGPT 2016 (Rome, Italy) website!
Nanogenerators can lead to novel self-powered devices that are small, flexible, integratable, and biocompatible.
Piezotronics deals with the coupling of piezoelectric polarization and semiconductor properties.
Both NanoGenerators and PiezoTronics (NGPT) are emerging interdisciplinary research areas which possess great promises for designing, powering, and operating innovative electronic, optoelectronic, photovoltaic, and catalytic systems.
The 3rd International NGPT Conference aims at fundamental understandings and practical development of nanoscale mechanical energy conversion materials and systems, and the coupling effect between piezoelectric polarization and semiconductor behaviors and functionalities.
