A Plasmon-Driven Transparent and Flexible Microsupercapacitor for Dual Solar-Hydrovoltaic Energy Harvesting
under combined plasmonic excitation and photoirradiation, ∼50% enhancement relative to the dark condition. The silver nanowires act as plasmonic hot spots that promote redox activity through plasma induced resonance energy transfer (PIRET), which is also confirmed by finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations. The platform harvests sunlight and hydrovoltaic energy to power an LED for 90 s, demonstrating potential for next-generation flexible, transparent microscale energy storage systems.
