This device is also believed to be appropriated to harvest electrical energy from humid air using sea breeze. The sea wind blowing with high humidity can penetrate the device, creating a consistent electricity t
, the in situ Raman spectra indicate that the spontaneous symmetry breaking induced by assembly of PEDOT:PSS networks is responsible for the enhanced moist-electric power harvesting performance, which provides a convenient paradigm for converting waste heat and humid environmental energy into electricity....
4e). By adjusting the volume fraction of adsorbents, VPD can be applied in various climate environments, from arid to humid areas. Even in areas with low humidities of around 20–25%, typical to average air humidity in deserts34, our VPD can still achieve a regeneration efficiency of 0.9...
Figure 8c shows the experimental environment of a closed chamber with a humidity of up to 95%, which is created by an air humidifier. It can be clearly observed that the performance of the proposed W-TENG still remains stable even in the highly humid environment, while the performance of ...
Absolutely no conventional or secondary water source is needed in an AWG. The only resource needed for AWG to work is the air with its trapped moisture, as the process mimics how rain is formed. Electricity powers the device, which can be obtained from the main power grid or from clean en...
Store Night Time Air to Basement Bring cool air into the basement at night and use daytime for cooling rooms. To suck out cool air from the basement, you need a small pipe fans. This is the only place where we need just a little electricity. ...
In addition, many studies through electrospun fibrous membranes were concentrated on monotonically hydrophilic or hydrophobic architectures, leaving a humid-state skin and limited moisture transfer from the body and electronics, and causing skin discomfort and even inflammation [24,25,26]. However, with...
If we assume a certain volume of humid air as a thermodynamic system, reduction in entropy and enthalpy are required to change the phase of water from vapor to liquid, so energy must leave the system. The transfer of latent water vapor energy is possible only when the ambient temperature is...

It should also be noted that for all the samples, a higher value of a1 is obtained from the thermal test (Table 2) compared with that value from the humidity test (Table 3). This result is because the high temperature decays both the surface charge and space charge, while the humid ...
