Highlights An efficient moist-electric generator with ultra-fast electric response to moisture is achieved by triggering Grotthuss protons hopping in the moisture-electric–moisture-sensitive heterostructure. The moist-electric generator produces a quick response (0.435 s), an unprecedented ultra-fast response rate of 972.4 mV s−1 to alternating moisture stimulation and stable output for 8 h. An obstructive sleep apnea hypoventilation syndrome diagnostic system based on a moist-electric generator was developed to monitor hypopnea and apnea in real time and successfully diagnose them with early warning.
