Abstract in brief

This research introduces a new type of nanoporous graphene with staggered circular pores that can convert electromagnetic (EM) waves, like those from electronic devices, directly into electricity, helping to reduce EM pollution and address energy shortages.
The unique structure of this graphene alters its electronic and phononic (heat-related) properties, allowing it to efficiently absorb EM waves and turn them into heat, which then produces electricity through the thermoelectric effect.
These findings deepen our understanding of how nanoporous graphene's structure affects its behavior and offer a promising method for both environmental protection and energy harvesting.]
