Energy converison devices driven by the relative motion of solids and liquids have been demonstrated. However, in relation to the converison device, a proper understanding of the dynamic behavior of ions in nano-scale remains unclear. Moreover, the energy density is low for practical usage mainly due to structural limitations, a lack of material development stemming from the currently poor understanding of the mechanisms, and the intermittently generated electricity given the characteristics of the water motion (pulsed signals). Here, we propose and verify a hypothesis pertaining to the ion-dynamic operation mechanism of the transducer in nano-scale which holds that the electron flow is induced by the adsorption and desorption of ions. Further, we demonstrate a method by which to generate continuous electrical energy with the flow of a water droplet through an electrolyte-insulator-semiconductor (EIS) structure. |
