Thermal Fluctuation-Induced Electricity Generation across a Non-Ideal Diode
Guoan Tai, Jinsong Liu, Tian Zeng +2
We report experimentally that the electricity is generated from ambient thermal fluctuations across a non-ideal diode consisted of a silicon tip and an aluminum surface. The output…
Electricity Harvested from Ambient Heat across Silicon Surface
Guo'an Tai, Zihan Xu
We report that electricity can be generated from limitless thermal motion of ions by two dimensional (2D) surface of silicon wafer at room temperature. A typical silicon device, on…
Electricity generated from Ambient Heat by Pencils
Zihan Xu, Guo'an Tai
The idea of generating electricity from ambient heat has significant meanings for both science and engineering. Here, we present an interesting idea of using pencil leads, which ar…
Self-Charged Graphene Battery Harvests Electricity from Thermal Energy of the Environment
Zihan Xu, Guoan Tai, Yungang Zhou +2
The energy of ionic thermal motion presents universally, which is as high as 4 kJ\bullet kg-1\bullet K-1 in aqueous solution, where thermal velocity of ions is in the order of hund…
Enhanced Gas-Flow-Induced Voltage in Graphene
Jun Yin, Jianxin Zhou, Xuemei Li +3
We show by systemically experimental investigation that gas-flow-induced voltage in monolayer graphene is more than twenty times of that in bulk graphite. Examination over samples…
