Generating electricity from tacky tape Date: January 30, 2025 Source: American Chemical Society Summary: Zaps of static electricity might be a wintertime annoyance, but to certain scientists, they ...

Triboelectric effects, on the other hand, rely on contact and separation between materials with different electronegativities, generating voltage through charge transfer.

A triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG ... Going back to the balloon-on-the-head example, the effect at play here produces high voltages but low current — the paper says a TENG containing 60 ...

Prof. Ryu explains, "Our study explains the materials and device fabrication strategies for tactile sensors using piezoelectric and triboelectric effects, as well as the types of sensory recognition." ...
