To overcome these limitations, we develop a silicon nanocomposite anode via a scalable and facile synthesis route. The nanocomposite (Si/a-Sn/CoSi<sub>2</sub>/G/C) consists of ultrafine Si nanocrystallites integrated with a well-deformable, electronically conductive amorphous Sn; a mechanically robust and elastic CoSi<sub>2</sub> framework; a highly Li-reversible, electronically conductive, stress-mitigating graphite scaffold; and a highly elastic, electronically conductive PVC-pyrolyzed amorphous carbon shell. This hierarchical and synergistic architecture integrates uniform nanocrystalline Si dispersion, continuous electronic conduction, and mechanically rigid and elastically buffering matrices that accommodate volume expansion, thereby establishing a robust Si nanocomposite anode platform compatible with both LIBs and ASSLBs. The anode has a high reversible capacity, stable long-term cycling performance, high Coulombic efficiency, and improved rate capability. In LIB systems, a Si/a-Sn/CoSi<sub>2</sub>/G/C|NCM811 full-cell achieves an energy density of 434.4 Wh kg<sup>–1</sup> with durable cycling stability. In sulfide-based ASSLB systems employing Li<sub>6</sub>PS<sub>5</sub>Cl, the full-cell has an energy density exceeding 300 Wh kg<sup>–1</sup>, with structural and electrochemical stability. Thus, Si/a-Sn/CoSi<sub>2</sub>/G/C is a practical and scalable Si-based anode platform for next-generation LIBs and ASSLBs.</p><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":714,"journal":{"name":"Nano-Micro Letters","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":36.3,"publicationDate":"2026-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s40820-026-02258-w.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148291235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This review provides a comprehensive overview of cellulose-based HEG across the four principal device classes—moisture, evaporation, osmotic, and droplet-induced electricity generators. Further, the review clarifies the role of the structural hierarchy of cellulose, its surface chemistry, and its hydration behavior in electrohydrodynamic transport and device-level performance. Beyond summarizing the prior work, we present system-level benchmarking through a consolidated performance table. The table explicitly links the material composition and device architecture with power output, robustness, and representative application scenarios such as power sources, self-powered sensors, and environmental monitoring, thereby offering actionable design guidelines. We further systematically discuss the chemical principles underlying cellulose-enabled HEG, including interfacial charge regulation, electric double-layer formation and overlap, and Donnan and ion-exchange effects, establishing a coherent theoretical basis for optimizing the voltage, current density, power density, and long-term stability. This mechanism-guided perspective connects the design of cellulose materials to the functional performances of moisture, evaporation, osmotic, and droplet systems. Additionally, it outlines practical directions for the sustainable sourcing, standardized testing, and scalable fabrication of efficient and environmentally friendly hydrovoltaic technologies.</p><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":714,"journal":{"name":"Nano-Micro Letters","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":36.3,"publicationDate":"2026-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s40820-026-02243-3.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148291232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
