Fig. 1: System design and working principle.
From: A novel bioinspired integrated system for simultaneous fog harvesting and energy supply
a Schematic illustration of a NBIS: (I) Modular device configuration comprising fog water converter container (FWCC); (II) SBDSS bioinspired fog-harvesting surface engineered through synergistic biomimetic of Cactus thorns, Namib desert beetle, and Nepenthes alata to enable efficient droplet capture, coalescence, and transport; (III) droplet-driven triboelectric nanogenerator (D-TENG); (IV) Harvested water is utilized for drip irrigation. b Working principle of the D-TENG, illustrating charge transfer at the solid–liquid interface. c Fog-harvesting and autonomous irrigation for off-grid micro-agriculture in arid regions
