Water evaporation-induced electricity generation technology has become an extremely interesting issue recently for supplying both freshwater and electricity. This review concentrates on advances in the recent development of water evaporation-induced electricity generation systems for possible application in the Internet of Things, resistive switching memory, devices collecting big data. Additionally, its application in powering some small electronic devices, energy storage, electrochemical deposition and electrochemical cells are also specifically clarified in this work. We divided water evaporation-induced electricity generation systems into three classifications, including tandem devices, hybrid devices, and self-powered generators. The mechanism and application of each electricit... |
It is a challenge to harvest both electricity and freshwater from the oceans. This communication demonstrates that the natural-inspired hierarchical evaporator based on multi-walled carbon nanotubes can generate electricity via water evaporation for freshwater production. Furthermore, for the first time, the effect of the nature of exposed electrodes in an electrolyte solution and the distance between two electrodes on the generation of electricity is carefully investigated. We found that the natural-inspired hierarchical evaporator could generate electricity for all time of the day. The proposed natural-inspired hierarchical evaporator is scalable, feasible, and low-cost, providing great potential for direct industrial applications of solar energy on clean water and electricity gen... |
