Abstract
Abstract: This paper reports the liquid energy harvesting with carbon nanotube film (CNF) devices. Different from the voltage generation by flowing water or other liquids across the carbon nanotube or graphene thin film, it was found that the electricity can also be generated by immersing or wetting the carbon nanotube film (CNF) with some liquids such as isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and soap water. The observed voltage can be as high as 300 mV for a CNF device measured 2 cm long, 0.8 cm wide and 100 µm thick as far as sufficient amount of solution presents and can keep the CNF wet, which might be attributed to the liquids' dynamic flowing process among the tangled CNTs due to the evaporation.
