Beijing Institute of Nanoenergy and Nanosystems, Chinese Academy of Sciences

Beijing Institute of Nanoenergy and Nanosystems (BINN) (www.binn.cas.cn), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), was jointly established by CAS and Beijing Municipality in February, 2012. BINN has moved to Huairou Science City in October, 2020. BINN is the first research institution to move into Huairou Science City.

BINN is a comprehensive and multi-disciplinary research organization engaged in research on nanoenergy and self-powered systems. Its current research activities concentrate mainly on fundamental research and application of nanogenerator, piezotronics and piezo-phototronics and micro-nano systems. BINN attaches great importance to industrialization and some products have been put into the market.

At present, BINN has a high-level scientific team of more than 100 researchers, the original disciplines including piezoelectric electronics, piezoelectric optoelectronics, nanogenerators, self-powered sensing systems, ocean blue energy, new high-voltage power supply. In terms of graduate students’ education, BINN has five Doctoral subjects, including condensed matter physics, physical chemistry, materials science, nano science and technology (partial biology or partial chemistry); There are seven Master's subjects in condensed matter physics, physical chemistry, materials science, material engineering, ecological physics, nano science and technology (partial biology or partial chemistry).

At present, more than 40 countries and regions, more than 430 research units and nearly 5000 people are doing nanoenergy, nanosystems and the relevant research in the world. BINN has launched two international brand conferences: "International Conference on Nanoenergy and Nanosystems" (NENS) and "International Conference on Nanogenerators and Piezoelectronics" (NGPT).
