Moisture power generation (MPG) technology, producing clean and sustainable energy from a humid environment, has drawn significant attention and research efforts in recent years as a means of easing the energy crisis. Despite the rapid progress, MPG technology still faces numerous challenges with the most significant one being the low power-generating performance of individual MPG devices. In this review, we introduce the background and underlying principles of MPG technology while thoroughly explaining how the selection of suitable materials (carbons, polymers, inorganic salts, etc.) and the optimization of the device structure (pore structure, moisture gradient structure, functional group gradient structure, and electrode structure) can address the existing and anticipated challenges. Furthermore, this review highlights the major scientific and engineering hurdles on the way to advancing MPG technology and offers potential insights for the development of high-performance MPG systems.
湿气发电（MPG）技术能够从潮湿环境中产生清洁且可持续的能源，近年来作为缓解能源危机的一种手段，已引起了广泛关注并投入了大量研究精力。尽管取得了快速进展，但MPG技术仍面临诸多挑战，其中最主要的挑战是单个MPG装置的发电性能较低。在本综述中，我们介绍了MPG技术的背景和基本原理，同时深入解释了如何通过选择合适的材料（碳、聚合物、无机盐等）以及优化器件结构（孔隙结构、湿度梯度结构、官能团梯度结构和电极结构）来应对现有和预期的挑战。此外，本综述突出了推进MPG技术过程中主要的科学和工程障碍，并为高性能MPG系统的发展提供了潜在的见解。
