    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a novel power-generating element that is advantageous from the maintenance-free point of view. A power-generating element according to the present disclosure includes a first electrode, a second electrode, and a solid electrolyte. The first electrode splits water. The solid electrolyte is placed between the first electrode and the second electrode. Ions generated by the splitting of the water at the first electrode are conducted toward the second electrode through the solid electrolyte. The splitting of the water at the first electrode and the generation of the ions in the solid electrolyte cause a potential difference between the first electrode and the second electrode, so that electrical energy is supplied to the outside of the power-generating element.
