Inspired by electric eels, this project aims to develop next generation flexible and eco-friendly power sources that can directly generate electricity from water droplets for self-powered, light-weight wearable electronics. The goal will be achieved by designing a new class of nanoionic materials for nano-hydroelectric generators, through optimizing the ion diffusion channel, interfacial architecture, electrode configuration, and power management systems. The expected outcomes will be new nanoionic materials for a wide range of end uses in portable power supply with much higher capacity compared with conventional thin film batteries, significant advances in wearable electronics, and advancing knowledge in energy conversion sector.
