Abstract
The conversion of water current to voltage generation through graphene has gained interest in both basic physics and applications such as sensors and electricity generation systems. However, many aspects of the mechanism remain unclear. Recently, quantum-based momentum transfer theories have been reported, but these often do not account for flow conditions. In this study, we investigated the correlation between the flow conditions of a liquid medium and the electrical conduction of graphene through experiments and numerical calculations. Our results suggest that the necessary condition is that the flow must be neither irregular nor purely laminar; instead, graphene responds to the transition process of the fluid. This finding supports the extension of current theories and presents valuable insights for both basic science and industrial applications.
期刊介绍:
Applied Physics Letters (APL) features concise, up-to-date reports on significant new findings in applied physics. Emphasizing rapid dissemination of key data and new physical insights, APL offers prompt publication of new experimental and theoretical papers reporting applications of physics phenomena to all branches of science, engineering, and modern technology.
In addition to regular articles, the journal also publishes invited Fast Track, Perspectives, and in-depth Editorials which report on cutting-edge areas in applied physics.
APL Perspectives are forward-looking invited letters which highlight recent developments or discoveries. Emphasis is placed on very recent developments, potentially disruptive technologies, open questions and possible solutions. They also include a mini-roadmap detailing where the community should direct efforts in order for the phenomena to be viable for application and the challenges associated with meeting that performance threshold. Perspectives are characterized by personal viewpoints and opinions of recognized experts in the field.
Fast Track articles are invited original research articles that report results that are particularly novel and important or provide a significant advancement in an emerging field. Because of the urgency and scientific importance of the work, the peer review process is accelerated. If, during the review process, it becomes apparent that the paper does not meet the Fast Track criterion, it is returned to a normal track.
