Quantifying Electron and Ion Transfers in Contact Electrification with Ionomers

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The concurrent existence of both electron and ion transfers in solid‐ionomer contact electrification is reported. The ion transfer contributes significantly to the process of contact electrification, especially at high humidity, although only less than 2% of ions participate in the ion transfer, suggesting that there is room for further performance ...
