A Paper-Based Wearable Moist-Electric Generator for Sustained High-Efficiency Power Output and Enhanced Moisture Capture.

ABSTRACT: Disposable wearable electronics are valuable for diagnostic and healthcare purposes, reducing maintenance needs and enabling broad accessibility. However, integrating a reliable power supply is crucial for their advancement, but conventional power sources present significant challenges. To address that issue, a novel paper-based moist-electric generator is developed that harnesses ambient moisture for power generation. The device features gradients for functional groups and moisture adsorption and architecture of nanostructures within a disposable paper substrate. The nanoporous, gradient-formed spore-based biofilm and asymmetric electrode deposition enable sustained high-efficiency power output. A Janus hydrophobic-hydrophilic paper layer enhances moisture harvesting, ensuring effective o
