报告摘要:

In contrast to conventional technologiesthat harvest kinetic energy of water,hydrovoltaic technology generateselectricity from the direct interaction ofmaterials with water1.

Water is not only the essence of life, but also the largest energy carrier on earth. Water covers about 70% of the earth's surface, absorbing 70% of the solar energy arrivingthe earth, and in the atmosphere it can existin liquid, gaseous and solid states. In human history, through a variety of scientific principles, such as running water driven wheel, steam locomotives, water driven generator as well as theelectrokinetic effects,the potential energy or kinetic energy of water can be converted into useful mechanical motion and electrical energy according to the principles of classical mechanics and electromagnetic dynamics2.In the recent decade, new mechanisms include waving potential3, drawing potential4,evaporation-induced electric potential5 have been found. Withthese versatile hydrovoltaic effects, energyfrom flowing, waving, dropping,condensing, and evaporating water cannowbe harvested, significantly extendingour capability in harvesting water energy, leading to the emerging hydrovoltaic technology6 andhydrovoltaics: New ways of harvesting electricity from water7.

In the past two years, intensive efforts have been devotedto hydrovoltaic technology with notabledevelopments made. The powergeneration has been improved by severalorders with incorporation of new materials and devices, putting the Hydrovoltaic Energy on the Way8.

Here, we will review hydrovoltaictechnology for harvesting environmental energy, serving as a potentialNegative carbon emission energy technology, mainly focusing on therecent developments, and envision thefuture directions for hydrovoltaics.
