Triboelectricity has been known since antiquity, but the fundamental physics underlying this phenomenon lacks consensus. We present a flexoelectric model for triboelectricity where contact deformation induced band bending is the driving…
Triboelectricity was recognized millennia ago, but the fundamental mechanism of charge transfer is still not understood. We have recently proposed a model where flexoelectric band bending due to local asperity contacts drives triboelectric…
The underlying mechanisms responsible for triboelectricity have yet to be completely understood. We have previously proposed a model which explains charge transfer in non-metals via band bending due to electromechanical, especially…
The triboelectric effect, charge transfer during sliding, is well established but the thermodynamic driver is not well understood. We hypothesize here that flexoelectric potential differences induced by inhomogeneous strains at nanoscale…
In this report, we look at the fundamental physics of triboelectricity, charge transfer due to contact and sliding. While much of the report focuses upon recent advances such as the incorporation of flexoelectric contributions, we also…
Despite extensive study and the practical significance of friction-driven static electricity, a quantitative triboelectric charge transfer theory has yet to be established. Here, we elucidate the detailed dynamics of triboelectric charge…
Contact electrification, or tribocharging, is pertinent to a broad range of industrial and natural processes involving dielectric materials. However, the basic mechanism by which charge is transferred between insulators is still unclear.…
Friction-driven static electrification is familiar and fundamental in daily life, industry, and technology, but its basics have long been unknown and have continually perplexed scientists from ancient Greece to the modern high-tech era.…
If polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), commonly known as Teflon, is put into contact and rubbed against another material, almost surely it will be more effective than its counterpart in collecting negative charges. This simple, basic property…
Contact electrification give rise to charge accumulation at the interface when two materials are brought into contact with each other. The charge accumulation at the interface will diffuse to the interior of the conducting material if the…
Electrical charges generation occurring during contact and friction of insulating materials has been identified for a long time. However the contribution of these electrical charges to the friction behaviour is usually neglected in the…
Triboelectric charging of granular materials against container walls is a critical yet poorly understood phenomenon affecting many industrial powder handling processes. Charge accumulation can cause material flow disruptions, adhesion…
We propose a microphysical theory of the triboelectric effect by which mechanical rubbing separates charges across the interface between two materials. Surface electrons are treated as an open system coupled to two baths, corresponding to…
Static metal-semiconductor contacts are classified into Ohmic contacts and Schottky contacts. As for dynamic metal-semiconductor contacts, the in-depth mechanism remains to be studied. We here define a "triboelectric junction" model for…
By rigorously accounting for mesoscale spatial correlations in donor/acceptor surface properties, we develop a scale-spanning model for same-material tribocharging. We find that mesoscale correlations affect not only the magnitude of charge…
Electrification by rubbing different materials is a well known phenomenon with a history that begun more than five centuries BC. However, simple experiments can lead to contradictory or inconsistent results and the history of this phenomena…
Even though contact electrification has been studied for a long time, the mechanism of charge transfer still remains elusive. Most of previous reports only focus on the driving force of charge transfer. However, to better understand the…
Recent theoretical studies show that nanoscale contact on dielectric substrates can induce flexoelectric polarization large enough to drive electron transfer. This has been supported by experimental evidence, indicating that contact…
Nominally identical materials exchange net electric charge during contact through a mechanism that is still debated. `Mosaic models', in which surfaces are presumed to consist of a random patchwork of microscopic donor/acceptor sites, offer…
The mechanisms underlying triboelectric charging have a stochastic nature. We investigate how this randomness affects the distributions of charges generated on granular particles during either a single or many collisions. The charge…
