AB - IntroductionWith the constant threat of the energy dilemma and global warming caused by the overuse of fossil fuels, seeking for green and sustainable energy is one of the most pressing challenges facing human civilization. To address this problem, capturing energy directly from the environment has been deemed as a promising approach as existing abundant low‐grade energy can be harnessed directly to generate electricity.[1] As a recyclable resource, water on earth exists as liquid and vapor form in ocean, rivers, lakes, clouds, rain, and as moisture in air. Abundant energy imbued within flowing water can be transferred from gravitational or kinetic energy into electricity.[2] Even the energy of dispersing water molecules as moisture in air can be transformed and harvested as electric energy, thanks to the development of nanotechnology.[3] Recent studies have demonstrated that nanomateirals on exposure to atmosphere moisture can generate electricity, and numerous efforts have been made to design moisture‐induced devices using various nanomaterials, including carbon materials,[4] metal‐derived materials,[5] biofibers,[6] polymers,[7] and composites.[8] Abundant surface functional groups, including out‐of‐plane large π‐bonds, hydroxyl or carboxyl groups, directly determine the polarity and the potential of the ions in the electrical double layer (EDL) and the Debye length.[9] Reversible adsorption and
