Pumping up the charge density of a triboelectric nanogenerator by charge-shuttling

Pumping up the charge density of a triboelectric nanogenerator by charge-shuttling

Conventionally, triboelectric nanogenerators are based on static charges fixed on dielectric surfaces. Here, the authors report a new mechanism using shuttling of mirror charge carriers corralled in quasi-symmetrical conduction domains, which boosts performance for blue energy harvesting.
