The EpiC project investigates how plant surfaces generate electrical charges when interacting with rain and solid materials. It aims to harness these charges for powering devices and enhancing plant health through engineered materials that can be applied to leaves.
The materials on the outer plant surface create the world's largest bio-air interface.
Invisibly, this surface spontaneously charges when hit by raindrops and solid materials.
This is due to contact electrification, a phenomenon used in technologies like printing and energy harvesting.
Yet, extraordinarily little is known about its role in nature and how biosurfaces charge.
EpiC will target two exciting and unresolved questions: a) can one exploit the generated charges to power high-tech devic…
