Zusammenfassung:The conversion of water current to voltage generation through graphene has gained interest in both basic physics and applications such as sensors and electricity generation systems. However, many aspects of the mechanism remain unclear. Recently, quantum-based momentum transfer theories have been reported, but these often do not account for flow conditions. In this study, we investigated the correlation between the flow conditions of a liquid medium and the electrical conduction of graphene through experiments and numerical calculations. Our results suggest that the necessary condition is that the flow must be neither irregular nor purely laminar; instead, graphene responds to the transition process of the fluid. This finding supports the extension of current theories and presents valuable insights for both basic science and industrial applications.
