Abstract
Generating electrical current from mechanically forced variation of the contact area of electrode/electrolyte interface underpins one of the scenarios of harvesting electrical current from walking. We develop here theory of an electrical shoe with a porous sole with an account of both convection of the liquid electrolyte under pressure and ion migration with transmission-line-type charging of electrical double layer at the pore walls. We show here that ion transport limitations can dramatically reduce the generated current and power density. The developed theory describes the time dependence of the generated current and reveals its dependence on the main operation parameters, the amplitudes of oscillating pressure and frequency, in relation to the system parameters.
