Low-dimensional materials including nanowires, nanotubes, fibers, and nanomaterials have received growing interest in various research fields, including piezoelectric and triboelectric energy harvesting. Low-dimensional materials exhibit a wide range of unique mechanical, electrical, and electromechanical properties that are hardly observable at macroscales, offering substantial capability for applications in energy harvesting. For example, two-dimensional materials with a noncenterosymmetric structure have been experimentally confirmed or theoretically predicted as piezoelectric or triboelectric. This symposium will provide a great opportunity to actively share and discuss recent research knowledge and innovating ideas on low-dimensional materials, devices, and related technology for energy harvesting.
