Abstract
in the vertical contact-separation mode. This study elucidates the fundamental charge transfer mechanism governing the triboelectrification efficiency and its use in harvesting electricity for the further development of powerful TENGs suitable for integration into wearable electronics and self-charging power cells, and the work also illustrates a recycling bioeconomy featuring systematic utilization of human hair waste as a regenerative resource for nature and society.
