  bibo_abstract:
  - Tribocharging, or contact electrification, is the phenomenon in which two initially
    neutral materials exchange electric charge through contact and subsequent separation.
    While it is widely observed in everyday life and crucial to numerous natural processes,
    even the most basic aspects of tribocharging are still a mystery—what are the
    charge carriers involved and what drives their exchange? This work spans three
    separate projects that address different aspects of tribocharging. First, we introduce
    a novel strategy combining Finite Element Method (FEM) simulations with Kelvin
    Probe Force Microscopy (KPFM) to quantitatively extract surface charge density
    from surface voltage maps. Second, we present a simple theoretical model that
    allows for the existence of triboelectric cycles, under the assumption that multiple
    charge carrying species are involved. Third, we present experimental evidence
    that identical materials can spontaneously evolve into a triboelectric series,
    driven by contact history. Modeling this behavior enables the replication of experimental
    results with simulations, and even experimentally forcing the appearance of a
    pre-designed series by manipulating contact history. Together, the findings from
    these projects challenge traditional views on tribocharging, provide new tools
    for probing it, and open up new avenues of research—all with the hopes of bringing
    us closer to understanding this puzzling phenomenon.@eng
