Moisture-based green energy harvesting over 600 hours via photocatalysis-enhanced hydrovoltaic effect by Peng Duan, Chenxing Wang, Yinpeng Huang, Chunqiao Fu, Xulei Lu, Yong Zhang, Yuming Yao, Lei Chen, Qi-Chang He, Linmao Qian, Tingting Yang

“…Abstract Harvesting the energy from the interaction between hygroscopic materials and atmospheric water can generate green and clean energy. However, the ion diffusion process of moisture-induced dissociation leads to the disappearance of the ion concentration gradient gradually, and there is still a lack of moisture-based power generation devices with truly continuous operation, especially the duration of the current output still needs to be extended. …”
