Abstract

Natural evaporation offers vast emission-free energy. We overcome low power limitations using a novel hybrid evaporative-thermoelectric generator. This sustainable synergy yielded 11.37 W/m2 (31.45% increase) at 100°C with a p-Bi2Te3 device. Enhanced conductivity and thermal capacitance enable stable, eco-friendly power. This pollution-free approach offers insights for durable energy harvesting in hot/humid environments.
