Experimental findings show that photon emission occurs during contact electrification, demonstrating electron transfer between two solid materials, opening up a path to study interface spectroscopy.
Contact electrification (CE) (or triboelectrification) is the phenomena where charges are produced through physical contact between two materials. Here we report the atomic featured photon emission spectra during CE between two solid materials. Photon emission provides the evidence that electron transfer takes place at the interface from an atom in one material to another atom in the other material during CE. This process is the contact electrification induced interface photon emission spectroscopy (CEIIPES). It naturally paves a way to a spectroscopy corresponding to the CE at an interface, which might impact our understanding of the interaction between solids, liquids, and gases. The physics presented here could be expanded to Auger electron excitation, x-ray emission, and electron emission in CE for general cases, which remain to be explored. This could lead to a general field that may be termed as contact electrification induced interface spectroscopy (CEIIS).
