Controlled Humidity Chamber for Hydrovoltaic Devices

This lecture presented by a PhD student at EPF's Laboratory for Nanoscience Energy Technologies focuses on the design, fabrication, and testing of a controlled humidity chamber for hydrovoltaic devices. The project aims to understand the impact of environmental parameters on the efficiency and scalability of evaporation-driven hydrovoltaic devices, which have the potential to generate self-powered electricity. The lecture covers the importance of creating a highly controlled experimental environment, the goals of the project including humidity variation, chamber geometry optimization, fabrication, and testing, as well as the implementation of a controlled system for executing humidity cycles automatically.
