4Abstract Automated and effective urban stormwater management (USM) is essential to address the increase in stormwater hazards due to climate change and urbanization. Although droplet‐based electricity generators (DEGs) can help monitor dynamic environmental changes in real‐time, they have limited long‐term reliability. Herein, a superhydrophobic fiber‐reinforced polymer‐based DEG (S‐FRP‐DEG) is proposed for efficient USM. The fiber‐reinforced polymer (FRP), composed of carbon fiber fabric, carbo
Carbon nanotubes (i.e., CNTs) are tubular carbon molecules with properties that make them potentially useful in extremely small scale electronic and mechanical applications. Because of this, CNTs are widely used in many parts such as, field emission display (FED), nanoscale sensors, vacuum electronic devices, and so on. In this study, CNTs were applied for an X-ray emitter. CNTs were grown on the metal substrate by thermal CVD method and the length of the grown CNTs was about 30~50 um. The elect
