Abstract
Disclosed herein are energy harvesting devices and sensors, and methods of making and use thereof. The energy harvesting devices can comprise a membrane disposed on a substrate, wherein the membrane comprises a two-dimensional (2D) material and one or more ripples; and a component electrically, magnetically, electromagnetically, electrostatic/capacitively, piezoelectrically, magnetostrictively and/or mechanically coupled to the membrane and/or the substrate, such that the component is configured to harvest energy from the membrane. The sensors can comprise a membrane disposed on a substrate, wherein the membrane comprises a two-dimensional material one or more ripples; and a component electrically, magnetically, electromagnetically, electrostatic/capacitively, piezoelectrically, magnetostrictively and/or mechanically coupled to the membrane and/or the substrate, such that the component is configured to detect a signal from the membrane.
