Nature Communications, Published online: 21 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-74450-w The work builds a sliding triboelectric generator using structural superlubricity between graphite and silicon oxide. Atomic-scale contact yields near-zero friction, suppresses air breakdown, eliminates wear, and delivers stable, enhanced charge output over long cycling.
