Outline

Flexible power generation device that harvests electric power from the flow of electrolyte solution will be developed, using atomically-thin conductive films. The free-shaped power generation devices are able to be installed in various environments where is the fluid containing electrolyte such as ocean and chemical reactors. This power generation technology is expected to contribute to realize self-powered sensor devices, for instance, for offshore exploration and monitoring of chemical reaction in micro-fluid devices.
