[0002] With the increasing global demand for renewable energy, ocean wave energy, as a potentially huge energy form, is gradually becoming a research hotspot. Ocean wave energy is not only abundant and widely distributed, but also possesses high density and stability, especially in deep-sea areas far from land, where its utilization advantages are even more pronounced. Compared to traditional wind and solar energy, ocean wave energy has higher energy density and continuity, making it an ideal target for clean energy development. Currently, ocean wave energy capture technologies mainly include mechanical energy harvesters, hydraulic energy harvesters, and air-driven energy harvesters. However, these technologies still face challenges, such as low energy conversion efficiency, difficult equipment maintenance, and high costs. Therefore, how to efficiently capture wave energy while reducing the complexity and maintenance costs of the devices has become one of the core research directions.
