Biomimetic Polyelectrolyte-Gradient Hydrogel Electricity Generator: A Green and Portable Energy Source Research on portable and eco-friendly electricity generators is promising for sustainability, as it helps address environmental pollution, depletion of fossil fuels, and the widespread use of personalized electronics. Inspired by the asymmetric charged structure of blood cells, we developed a bi-layered polyelectrolyte-gradient hydrogel electric generator (PGHEG).
