Abstract

Triboelectric nanogenerators harvest energy by contacting two solids or a liquid and a solid. Here the authors use a conductive liquid membrane as a permeable electrode to demonstrate triboelectrification via liquid–liquid contact by passing liquid droplets through a liquid membrane to generate power.
