A novel bioinspired integrated system for simultaneous fog harvesting and energy supply
fog harvesting rate, representing 125% and 430% of unprocessed and non-UV-irradiated surfaces, respectively. The integrated D-TENG provides a new approach for efficient harvesting energy from fog droplets in practical environments, with enhanced durability and stability. Intriguingly, the novel bioinspired integrated system supports the growth of barley (Hordeum vulgare), providing freshwater and LED lighting for plant growth. This system offers a viable solution to address water and energy challenges in agricultural systems.
