Natural water evaporation (NWE) can be used as a driving force to generate electricity. NWE-driven generators (NWEGs) require materials with charged surfaces. However, the quantitative adjustment of the surface charge density (dc) remains difficult and the relationship between dc and NWEG performance has not been clarified. Herein, Ni-Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) films with tailored structural dc in the range of 2.52–4.59 e/nm2 were synthesized by precisely adjusting the molar ratio of Al3+ to Ni2+. The Ni-Al LDH films were assembled into NWEGs by the spraying method and then their electrical performance was investigated. Strong positive correlations were observed between dc, open-circuit voltage (Voc), and short-circuit current (Isc); that is, the larger dc, the higher Voc and Isc. The maximum Voc of ∼0.6 V, Isc of ∼0.3 μA, and output power density of ∼15 μW/cm3 were achieved simultaneously for a 4 × 1.5 cm NWEG with a maximum dc of 4.59 e/nm2. A reasonable increase of dc resulted in improved device performance, which was attributed to the positive correlation between the densities of both hydroxide ions in the diffusion layer and positive charge on the Ni-Al LDH film surface. In addition, a relatively stable total Voc of ∼2.5 V and Isc of ∼1.5 μA were obtained using eight NWEGs with a modified individual generator structure. The eight assembled NWEGs successfully powered a simple electronic watch. The spraying method used to fabricate the NWEGs not only greatly shortened the device molding time, but also markedly improved device stability. This study reveals a new avenue to guide the design of materials and to improve the performance of flexible self-powered NWEGs.

天然水蒸发驱动Ni-Al层状双氢氧化物层状柔性自供电发电机的表面电荷密度相关性能

天然水蒸发(NWE)可用作驱动力来发电。NWE驱动的发电机(NWEG)要求表面带电的材料。然而,表面电荷密度(d c)的定量调节仍然很困难,并且d c与NWEG性能之间的关系尚未阐明。在此,通过精确调节Al 3+与Ni 2+的摩尔比,合成了结构度d c在2.52-4.59 e / nm 2范围内的Ni-Al层状双氢氧化物(LDH)薄膜。。通过喷涂法将Ni-Al LDH薄膜组装成NWEG,然后研究其电性能。在d c,开路电压(V oc)和短路电流(I sc)之间观察到很强的正相关。即,d c越大,V ocI sc越高。对于4×1.5 cm NWEG,最大d c为4.59 e / nm 2,同时获得了约0.6 V的最大V oc,约0.3μA的I sc和约15μW/ cm 3的输出功率密度。d c的合理增加导致器件性能提高,这归因于扩散层中两个氢氧根离子的密度与Ni-Al LDH膜表面上的正电荷之间的正相关。此外,相对稳定的总V oc为〜2.5 V,I sc使用八个具有改进的独立发生器结构的NWEG,可获得约1.5μA的电流。八个组装好的NWEG成功为一个简单的电子表供电。用于制造NWEG的喷涂方法不仅大大缩短了器件的成型时间,而且显着提高了器件的稳定性。这项研究揭示了一条指导材料设计和提高柔性自供电NWEG性能的新途径。
