| 摘要 |
The present invention generally relates to a method for using nanoporous materials to convert mechanical motion and/or heat into electrical energy. In one embodiment, the present invention relates to the conversion of mechanical energy to electrical energy by immersing a high surface area nanoporous electrode in an electrolyte such that the ion structure at the surface of the electrode is interrupted in response to a change in the flow rate of the electrolyte, causing increased electrostatic energy to be generated at the liquid/solid interface. The invention further relates to a device suitable for conducting this method.
