Contact Electrification via Redox-Active Molecules. [PDF]
Angew Chem Int Ed EnglAbstract Contact electrification, as the transfer of charge upon the contact of two (dis)similar materials, is strongly influenced by surface chemistry, which governs the efficiency of charge separation. For harvesting electrical energy from mechanical energy, material pairs with high electron‐transfer efficiency ...

On chain models for contact electrification [PDF]
Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2022 Abstract An exact analytical model of charge dynamics for a chain of atoms with asymmetric hopping terms is presented. Analytic and numeric results are shown to give rise to similar dynamics in both the absence and presence of electron interactions.
