tl;dr (copied from the abstract): "Here, a generic effect for continuous energy harvesting from air humidity is reported, [...]. The common feature of these materials is that they are engineered with appropriate nanopores to allow air water to pass through and undergo dynamic adsorption–desorption exchange at the porous interface, resulting in surface charging." "The work opens a wide door for the broad exploration of sustainable electricity from air."
