The recent discovery of hydrovoltaic devices for power generation has led to a rapid growth into new materials harvesting energy specifically this research field. Of the investigated, carbon have dominated, and graphene oxide (GO) emerged as leader. While graphite is conductive, it does not functional groups strongly interact with water, highly functionalized GO forms strong interaction water generate necessary surface charges but typically high conductivity. Herein, we report fabrication...
Device architecture and the choice of electrodes connections are critical in dictating hydrovoltaic device efficiencies, especially for different types aqueous environments.
Hydrovoltaic devices generate power from the transfer of ambient thermal energy involved in water evaporation. To date, hydrovoltaic research has focused mainly on identifying and optimizing materials for use in...
