Leaves for high power density hydrovoltaic generators

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: , a substantial improvement over recently reported similar devices. These devices can be used to fast charge commercially available supercapacitors, and supply continuous electricity to power an LED and commercially available environmental sensor. The use of leaf as a bio-based material to generate high power density hydrovoltaic generators demonstrates the potential that natural materials and nature-designed architecture within those materials hold for the development of green electronics.
