Abstract
An electric power generation system is provided. The electric power generation system includes an electric power generation device and an ambient environment comprising an atmospheric relative humidity of at least 20%. The electric power generation device includes a thin film of protein nanowires or a nanowire composite, the thin film having an opposing first surface and second surface. The electric power generation device also includes a first electrode and a second electrode, electrically connected to the first surface and second surface, respectively, of the thin film. At least one of the first surface and the second surface of the thin film is at least partially exposed to the ambient environment. A moisture gradient and charge gradient is therefore created and maintained in the thin film to continuously generate power.
