Abstract

Iontronics presents a transformative paradigm for energy and information processing via ions as active charge carriers. Here, triboiontronics is introduced, a novel strategy leveraging contact electrification to achieve dynamic regulation of electrical double layers. Inspired by signaling mechanisms of biological neural systems, triboiontronics enables enhanced ionic-electronic coupling without external power input, offering a material-independent and self-powered pathway for programmable interfacial behavior, underscoring its promise for post-Moore, energy-autonomous information technologies.
