Contact electrification through interfacial charge transfer: a mechanistic viewpoint on solid-liquid interfaces.

ABSTRACT: Contact electrification (triboelectrification) has been a long-standing phenomenon for 2600 years. The scientific understanding of contact electrification (triboelectrification) remains un-unified as the term itself implies complex phenomena involving mechanical contact/sliding of two materials involving many physico-chemical processes. Recent experimental evidence suggests that electron transfer occurs in contact electrification between solids and liquids besides the traditional belief of ion adsorption. Here, we have illustrated the Density Functional Theory (DFT) formalism based on a first-principles theory coupled with temperature-dependent ab initio molecular dynamics to describe the phenomenon of interfacial charge transfer. The model captures charge transfer dynamics upon ads
