Cellulose is an abundant natural resource that is porous and has the advantage of controlling surface wettability and is being used in many hydrovoltaic studies. However, since it has low electrical conductivity, additional conductive materials such as carbon black, graphene, and CNT are used. Although these conductive materials have electrical conductivity, they have low water wettability, which limits their water absorption ability and makes them unsuitable for hydrovoltaic generator. In this study, we aim to solve these limitations by adding MXene at cellulose, which has both excellent electrical conductivity and water wettability. In conclusion, our research can significantly improve the power density of hydrovoltaic generator by increasing the surface wettability about water and providing excellent electrical conductivity. This study is expected to achieve a power density of over 100 μW/cm², making a significant contribution to the development of energy generation technology.
