Schematic of formation of wood power generators (IMAGE)
Caption
Schematic of the formation of wood power generators. The left-hand side depicts the natural water uptake and transpiration of wood and its hierarchical structure. From the native wood, the one-step treatment is shown, leading to wood with precipitated nanofibrillated networks within the lumen and its abundance of functional groups. The final hydrovoltaic energy harvester is shown under operation. Blue arrow refers to water uptake and red arrow represents water evaporation. Red dots represent water molecules.
