Hydrovoltaic power generation, which harnesses ambient water via solid–liquid interface interactions, offers a green pathway for low-grade energy harvesting.

Herein, we report a novel hydrovoltaic generator (CCHG) that fabricated with the low-cost and conductive coal-based nanocarbon (CCN). The CCN is uniformly deposited on the filter paper to form a water-permeable interface, enabling the directional water transport and evaporation-driven ion diffusion. The resultant CCHG device exhibits a voltage output of 0.53 V and a current of 62 μA with only 50 μL of water under ambient conditions. Integration of multiple units in series or parallel delivers up to 2.1 V and 240 μA, sufficient to drive the power commercial electronics such as LED arrays and timers.

Advanced techniques including synchrotron-based wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS), microbeam WAXS (μ-WAXS), spherical aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy (SA-TEM), electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), Raman spectroscopy, small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) have been employed to assess crystallite size, orientation, skin-core microcrystalline evolution, radial distribution of sp<sup>2</sup> hybridized carbon, and micropore morphology across different length scales.

Furthermore, this strategy was achieved through a synergistic electrospinning and thermal treatment process, effectively embedding 0D TiO<sub>2</sub> nanoparticles, La-based species, and 2D MXene nanosheets into 1D PCN NFs. Consequently, favorable interface polarization, conduction loss, and dipole polarization contribute to the outstanding radar stealth properties of the PCN/MXene-La composite.
