In recent years, there has been a growing focus on converting environmental energy into electrical energy in order to meet the growing demand for clean and sustainable energy in modern society. This paper introduces a light-controlled electrostatic conversion device (LCECD) that can convert electrostatic energy into usable electrical energy. Experimental results show that LCECD is able to convert 30kV electrostatic pulses into energy for powering LED lights. Additionally, the device's parasitic capacitance changes after exposure to light, and the efficiency of electrostatic conversion is improved with smaller parasitic capacitance. This has significant implications for the future design of electrostatic conversion devices.
In recent years, converting environmental energy into electrical energy to meet the needs of modern society for clean and sustainable energy has become a research hotspot. Electrostatic energy is a pollution-free environmental energy source. The use of electrostatic conversion devices to convert electrostatic energy into electrical energy has been proven to be a feasible solution to meet sustainable development. This paper proposes a light-controlled electrostatic conversion device (LCECD). When static electricity comes, an avalanche breakdown occurs inside the LCECD and a low resistance path is generated to clamp the voltage, thereby outputting a smooth square wave of voltage and current. Experiments have proved that LCECD can convert 30kV electrostatic pulses into usable electrical energy for the normal operation of the back-end light-emitting diode lights. In addition, the LCECD will change the parasitic capacitance after being exposed to light. For different wavelengths of light, the parasitic capacitance exhibited by the device will also be different. The smaller the parasitic capacitance of the LCECD, the higher the efficiency of its electrostatic conversion. This is of great significance to the design of electrostatic conversion devices in the future.
