In these new generators\, DC electric p ower is converted from mechanical power through either semiconductor junct ion modification by mechanic impact or dynamic junction by sliding one sem iconductor/metal electrode on the other. The short circuit current is dete rmined by the generation rate of electrons and holes at the contacted surf aces\, while the open-circuit voltage is determined by the chemical potent ial difference of the two electrodes. In the talk\, I shall review recent advances in the generators and discuss the mechanisms of electron/hole gen eration and transport in the devices. Advances in fundamental semiconducto r physics and perspectives and technical challenges will be highlighted.\n \nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/283533 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/283533 ORGANIZER:xin.liu@inrs.ca SEQUENCE:14 SUMMARY:INRS Nanomaterial scientist Forum: Mechanical to Electric Power Con version from Dynamic p-n Junctions URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/283533 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><span style="color: #000000\; font-size: 1 4pt\;"><strong>Recent advance in DC electric generators has demonstrated t hat the new generators are of several advantages over traditional electric generators that are well known to us.
