Contact electrification is a universal phenomenon influenced by the work function difference between materials. Experimental results demonstrate that electron transfer occurs significantly in the attractive force region when there is a large work function difference between two contacting materials.
Contact electrification (triboelectrification) (CE) is a universal phenomenon in ambient environment and has been recorded for more than 2600 years. Nonetheless, the intrinsic mechanism of CE still remains controversial. Herein, based on first-principles theory, the underlying mechanism in CE is systematically investigated between metallic MXenes and semiconductive MoS2. The results show that the work functions of contacting materials dominate the direction of electron transfer during CE process. That is, the electron will be transferred from the material with low work function to the one with high work function. The theoretical prediction is verified experimentally through investigating triboelectric probes based on MXenes and MoS2 nanomaterials. Additionally, it is noted that the interfacial potential barrier and the work function difference together modulate the amount of transferred electron. Electron transfer mainly occurs in the repulsive forces region where the interaction distance between the two materials is shorter than the normal bonding length. The quantum calculation results agree well with the Wang transition theory. Furthermore, it is also noticed that, due to the wave-particle duality of electron, electron transfer will obviously occur at the attractive force region when the two contacting materials exhibit a larger work function difference.
