Research summary
AI-generated

Andy Berbille's research focuses on self-powered energy-harvesting devices and sensors, particularly triboelectric and piezoelectric nanogenerators that convert motion, light, or heat into electricity or useful chemical reactions. A major thread is 'contact-electro-catalysis,' where friction-generated electric charges drive chemical processes such as pollutant degradation, hydrogen peroxide generation, and metal recovery from batteries or solutions. The work also includes photodetectors and sensing platforms for applications like wind-speed measurement and industrial monitoring.
