The consumption of energy is an important resource that cannot be ignored in modern society. Non-renewable forms of energy, such as coal, natural gas, and oil, have always been important strategic resources and are always facing a crisis of shortage. Therefore, there is an urgent need for green renewable forms of energy. As an emerging green energy source, the moist-electric generator (MEG) has been studied in recent years and may become an energy source that can be utilized in daily life. Along with the advancement of technological means, nanoarchitectonics play an important role in MEG devices. This review aims to provide a comprehensive summary of the fundamentals of the MEG from the perspective of different material classifications and to provide guidance for future work in the field of MEGs. The effects of various parameters and structural designs on the output power, recent important literature and works, the mechanism of liquid-solid interactions at the nanoscale, and the application status and further potential of MEG devices are discussed in this review. It is expected that this review may provide valuable knowledge for future MEG research.
能源消耗是现代社会中不可忽视的重要资源。不可再生能源形式，如煤炭、天然气和石油，一直是重要的战略资源，并且始终面临短缺危机。因此，迫切需要绿色可再生能源形式。作为一种新兴的绿色能源，近年来对湿电发电机（MEG）进行了研究，它可能成为一种可在日常生活中利用的能源。随着技术手段的进步，纳米结构在MEG装置中发挥着重要作用。本综述旨在从不同材料分类的角度对MEG的基本原理进行全面总结，并为MEG领域的未来工作提供指导。本文讨论了各种参数和结构设计对输出功率的影响、近期重要文献和工作、纳米尺度下液固相互作用的机制以及MEG装置的应用现状和进一步潜力。预计本综述可为未来的MEG研究提供有价值的知识。
