triboelectriska
Triboelectriska, or the triboelectric effect, is the generation of electrical charge on surfaces that come into contact and then separate. It results from contact electrification, where electrons transfer between materials according to their electronic properties, leaving opposite charges on the separated surfaces and creating a measurable electrostatic potential.
The direction and magnitude of charging depend on the material pair, surface roughness, contamination, and environmental
A triboelectric series ranks common materials by their tendency to gain or lose electrons, guiding material
Applications include electrostatic processes in xerography and air filtration, as well as energy harvesting with triboelectric
Research focuses on improving efficiency, understanding nanoscale charge transfer, and developing durable material pairs for stable,
