Triboelectricity-driven electrolysis integrated equipment

Abstract

A triboelectricity-driven electrolysis integrated equipment comprises a shell unit, a triboelectricity device, and an electrolysis device. The shell unit include an outer container, and an inner container contained within the outer container. The triboelectricity device is installed on the inner surface of the outer container. The triboelectricity device include a triboelectric unit, a counter triboelectric unit that can touch the triboelectric unit and move relative to the triboelectric unit, and a conductive unit that is electrically connected to the triboelectric unit. The electrolysis device is installed in the inner container and electrically connected to the triboelectricity device. The electrolysis device include a working electrode and a counter electrode. The invention triboelectricity-driven electrolysis integrated equipment set up the triboelectricity device and the electrolysis device through the shell unit, integrate the triboelectricity device and the electrolysis device together, and use the electric energy generated by the triboelectricity device to drive the electrolysis device for electrolysis.
