Self-charging device built of sea salt produces electricity from air moisture

This new invention is highly scalable since its raw materials are commercially available and easy to access.

“With this unique asymmetric structure, the electric performance of our MEG device is significantly improved in comparison with prior MEG technologies, thus making it possible to power many common electronic devices, such as health monitors and wearable electronics,” added Tan.

The new NUS invention is highly scalable since its raw materials are commercially available and easy to access. It also comes with a very low fabrication cost of about US$0.15 per meter square. All this means the MEG device is suitable for mass production. "Our device shows excellent scalability at a low fabrication cost. Compared to other MEG structures and devices, our invention is simpler and easier for scaling-up integrations and connections. We believe it holds vast promise for commercialisation," concluded Tan.The interactions between moisture and materials give rise to the possibility of moisture-driven energy generation .
