Mechanism of Contact Electrification

Physics and High Technology, 2021
Contact electrification has been a well-known phenomenon since B.C. 300. However, the origin of triboelectric charge and the charge transfer mechanism are not well understood. To date, the thermionic emission model, Schottky model, flexoelectric model, and intermolecular force model have been proposed for the contact electrification in conductors ...

Is Water Necessary for Contact Electrification?

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2011
Was Thales right about water? Contrary to previous reports, contact charging can occur in the absence of water. At the same time, water helps stabilize the developed charges. Water???free conditions are realized by performing all experiments and charge measurements under oil???immersion.

Contact electrification of C60

Zeitschrift für Physik D Atoms, Molecules and Clusters, 1993
We have used gold-, tungsten-, and copper plates to contact repeatedly a C60 powder sample. We observed the flow of electrons to the sample leading to negative charge accumulation. In repeated-contact experiments, we find charge saturation after 15 contacts for gold and copper contact partners. This is typical for the behavior of a semiconductor.

Contact Electrification at the Liquid–Solid Interface

Chemical Reviews, 2021
Interfaces between a liquid and a solid (L-S) are the most important surface science in chemistry, catalysis, energy, and even biology. Formation of an electric double layer (EDL) at the L-S interface has been attributed due to the adsorption of a layer of ions at the solid surface, which causes the ions in the liquid to redistribute.

Revisiting Contact Electrification at Polymer–Liquid Interfaces

Langmuir, 2022
Contact electrification (CE) occurs naturally at all interfaces between solids and solids, solids and liquids, solids and gasses, and so forth. It has been extensively studied for decades. While CE at a solid-solid interface has been demonstrated to be primarily caused by electron transfer, the underlying mechanism of CE at a liquid-solid interface ...

Contact electrification of polyamides

Journal of Electrostatics, 1991
Abstract Charge transfer to nylon 6.6 and other polyamides is a characteristic of the material, and to a large extent independent of source and fabrication history. A variety of polyamides with a range of amide group concentrations all charge strongly positive to much the same extent, but polyolefins (equivalent to polyamides with zero concentration ...

Contact electrification of polymers

Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics, 1976
Measurements of the charge produced by rolling or sliding contact between a metal or polymer sphere and a dielectric sheet have been carried out under controlled conditions. The dependence of charge on air pressure was studied. Charge decay and mobilities were estimated. The metal work-function had no effect on charge transfer.

On the origin of contact-electrification

Materials Today, 2019
Abstract Although contact electrification (triboelectrification) (CE) has been documented since 2600 years ago, its scientific understanding remains inconclusive, unclear, and un-unified. This paper reviews the updated progress for studying the fundamental mechanism of CE using Kelvin probe force microscopy for solid–solid cases.

From contact electrification to triboelectric nanogenerators

Reports on Progress in Physics, 2021
Abstract Although the contact electrification (CE) (or usually called ‘triboelectrification’) effect has been known for over 2600 years, its scientific mechanism still remains debated after decades. Interest in studying CE has been recently revisited due to the invention of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs ...
