Xuanyu Huang won a gold medal at the 17th Asian Physics Olympiad in 2016 and was subsequently admitted to the TEEP at Tsinghua University's School of Aerospace Engineering. In 2020, he was recommended for admission to the State Key Laboratory of Tribology in Advanced Equipment in the department of mechanical engineering to pursue a Ph.D. under academician Quanshui Zheng, a pioneer in structural superlubricity technology. He completed his Ph.D. in January 2024, graduating early after three and a half years, and joined the Double Helix Center (CDH) at Tsinghua Shenzhen International Graduate School, led by academician Zheng. His research focuses on super micro-generators based on structural superlubricity technology, aiming to achieve high power density and long lifespan to address significant micro-energy needs in fields such as the Internet of Things and interventional medicine. Huang joined academician Zheng's team during his freshman year to conduct research on super micro-generators and has remained dedicated to this challenging and promising field. During his first year of doctoral studies, he published a paper as the first author on principle prototypes in the prestigious journal Nature Communications. He has achieved important results in subsequent research, publishing a total of six papers as the first author or corresponding author in renowned international journals, with 170 citations. Two of his first-author papers were highlighted by Nature Communications on their official website. He has also applied for 14 patents and received several honors, including the National Graduate Scholarship, Tsinghua University Special Scholarship, Postdoctoral Innovative Talent Support Program, and Tsinghua University Shuimu Scholar. In March 2022, as the technical lead, he participated in the finals of the first National Disruptive Technology Innovation Competition organized by the Ministry of Science and Technology, where his project received unanimous approval from five expert judges, winning the highest award - the Excellence Award (out of 2,724 projects that entered the field competition, only 36 projects received the final excellence award).

Super micro-generators based on structural superlubricity technology, structural superlubricity micro-nano devices, electronic excitation, dissipation, and transport at structural superlubric interfaces.

Xuanyu Huang, utilizing structural superlubricity technology in conjunction with semiconductor heterojunction DC generation principles, has achieved the first prototype of a super micro-generator with an extremely long lifespan and high output density. He has systematically explored and analyzed the DC generation mechanisms of semiconductors under structural superlubricity conditions. Furthermore, he developed a method for large-scale, continuous, reversible, and wear-free control of electronic friction at the superlubric Schottky junction interface by applying a bias voltage. Finally, he conducted preliminary explorations of the preparation technology for larger-scale superlubricity power generation units and the power generation performance of large-scale single crystal graphite, based on application needs. The super micro-generator, characterized by its long lifespan and high output density, aims to address the micro-energy demands of future fields such as the Internet of Things and interventional medicine, which require miniaturized and maintenance-free power solutions.
