RESUMEN
Intelligent and highly precise control of liquid-solid triboelectricity is of great significance for energy collection and electrostatic prevention. However, most of the traditional methods are irreversible and complex, greatly limiting their applicability. Here, a reversible thermosensitive liquid-solid triboelectric nanogenerator (L-S TENG) is assembled based on P(NIPAM-MMA) (PNM) copolymer for tunable triboelectrification. Through temperature regulation, the conformation between acylamino and isopropyl groups changes with the interfacial wettability and triboelectricity of PNM. When the temperature rises from 20 to 60 °C, the contact angle of PNM rises from 22.49° to 82.08°, and the output of the PNM-based L-S TENG shows a 27-fold increase. In addition, this transformation is reversible and repeatable with excellent durability for up to 60 days. Other organic liquids, such as glycol, exhibit positive response to temperature for this PNM-based L-S TENG. Polymers including polymethylmethacrylic, polytetrafluoroethylene, and polyimide are verified to not have such thermo-sensitivity properties. In addition, a droplet-based wireless warning system based on PNM is designed and actuated for monitoring specific temperature. The introduction of thermal PNM not only provides new material for reversible manipulation of L-S TENG, but also provides a new method for designing highly sensitive temperature warning sensors.

A near-infrared light triggered fast interfacial friction switch was achieved with polyelectrolyte brush grafted PDMS embedded with Fe3O4 nanoparticles, where the in situ heating up of the photothermal Fe3O4 nanoparticles in the polymer matrix changes the interface humidity and thereafter alters the hydration level of the interfacial polymer brushes.
