Moisture-based green energy harvesting over 600 hours via photocatalysis-enhanced hydrovoltaic effect

Nature Communications
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 ...
