Recycled Polystyrene Waste to Triboelectric Nanogenerators: Volumetric Electromechanically Responsive Laminates from Same‐Material Contact Electrification [PDF]
Advanced Energy and Sustainability ResearchMillions of tonnes of polystyrene (PS) are produced annually, with only an estimated 12% being recycled. Herein, the upcycling of expanded or foamed PS waste into electromechanically responsive triboelectric laminates (TLs) is described.

On chain models for contact electrification
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.

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 ...
