Scientists have created a power generator that uses atmospheric humidity and polyoxometalates to produce continuous electricity, offering a sustainable way to utilize low-value energy. Scientists are exploring methods to harness the low-value energy found abundantly in natural environments to pro
The polyoxometalate power generator collects the natural atmospheric humidity and produces continuous electrical signals by the uneven distribution and directional movement of ions, realizing efficient collection and utilization of low-value energy. Credit: Nana Research, Tsinghua University Press
The scientists constructed POMs into organic ammonium-polyoxoanion clusters. The clusters were assembled into thin films power generators with tiny, nano-sized pores called micropores, that are capable of working in atmospheric humidity. Their tiny POM generator produced a voltage of 0.68 V, was stable, and worked continuously under almost all-natural environments, with atmospheric humidity ranging from 10 percent to 90 percent.
This revolutionary POM generator has many potential applications, such as the detection of human respiratory processes; the detection, recording, and alarm of environmental humidity; the integration with electrical appliances to achieve continuous power supply of equipment; and meeting the electricity needs of multiple scenarios.
