Abstract:are heavy, bulky, and immovable and are generally situated near dams, coasts, or river banks. [3-5] Furthermore, generating electricity using a traditional electromagnetic apparatus is difficult under low water supply, such as rainwater or fog. [6] Therefore, a small, novel, and portable electromagnetic system that can harvest energy from tiny water drops can act as a water-electricity transducer; such a system is an alternative to traditional hydropower equipment.

“…In addition, the MCS can covert the magnetic field into electricity to achieve energy harvesting. [40][41][42] Figure 7a shows the digital photo of MCS when measuring the current of a mobile phone. In Figure 7b, when the mobile phone change from standby state to calling states, its working current will certainly change, and the corresponding waveform/value of output voltage of MCS will synchronously change, which may provide information to judge the working state of mobile phone.…”
contact sensors, such as current shunts, exist safety risk due to lacking of electrical isolation. The contactless sensors are isolated from the primary current, which gives them the advantages of high insulation safety and convenient measurement. Thus, they attract numerous research attentions in recent decades. Typical contactless current sensors include current transformers, optical current sensors, Hall sensors and magnetoresistive sensors. [3][4][5]

“…[ 1–6 ] Converting mechanical energy to electricity provides no doubt one of promising sustainable energies. [ 7–11 ] Among diverse conversion approaches, the magnetoelectric strategy has been proved to be effective and stably used in our daily lives for more than 150 years. However, such a strategy is often susceptible to rigid and heavy setups, difficulty to carry and limited applied locations such as power plants.…”
Sustainable energy supply by converting mechanical to electric energy is critical for flexible electronic technologies, soft robots, and biomedical applications. The development of magnetoelectric conversion approaches requires new strategies with lightweight, small, and portable features. To address this need, an underwater magnetic nanofluid droplet‐based generator (UMNDG) is designed to convert the mechanical energy of sliding droplets to electricity. The UMNDG consists of four parts: 3D‐printed underwater superoleophobic surface bioinspired by shark skin, oily magnetic nanofluid droplets, bottom coil, and magnetic part. By improving the manufacturing parameters of 3D‐printed shark skin, underwater superoleophobic and low‐adhesion surfaces can be fabricated, allowing for the magnetic nanofluid droplets to slide upon the surfaces freely. When the magnetic nanofluid droplets slide/leave the bottom coil/magnet region, the magnetic flux passes through the coil changes, yielding the generation of electricity. Maxwell simulation is used to study related working mechanism. Finally, a ladder‐type setup consisting of four UMNDGs is assembled in series, enabling to trigger the lighting of a LED bulb by continuous sliding of magnetic nanofluid droplets. Such a setup design may find use in a wide range of applications, from flexible electronic technologies to bio‐inspired materials that interface with magnetic nanofluid systems.

Flexible magnetic field sensors attract significant interests in magnetic detection and flexible electronics. However, two challenges, low sensitivity, and limited working range, impede their practical application. Herein, a new type of magnetic‐sensitive crack sensor (M‐CS) by depositing graphene nanosheets upon a flexible magnetic film through a facial infrared drying technique is reported. The M‐CS exhibits an ultrahigh sensitivity (relative resistance change up to 4.0 × 1010) toward a moderate magnetic field of 43 mT at room temperature. In addition, the M‐CS shows a long cycling stability over 10 000 cycles. Such a superior sensitivity is attributed to physically cutting/recovering the pathways of electron transport through nanosheets’ separation/contact. Diverse experimental parameters, such as the concentration of graphene solution and the thickness of bottom magnetic substrates, have been tailored to improve the magnetic sensitivity of M‐CS. Furthermore, the array of M‐CSs with different relative resistance change can be used as the cipher key to recognize aimed magnetic signal without contact. It is believed that the M‐CS with an ultrahigh magnetic sensitivity at operational condition and long‐term stability could benefit the development of magneto‐sensitive sensors, and exploit the application of 2D materials in flexible electronic devices.
