Text | Separation and Quantum Tunneling of Photo- generated Carriers Using a Tribo-Induced Field Boosting | 001 Article Separation and Quantum Tunneling of Photo- generated Carriers Using a Tribo-Induced Field Boosting the photovoltaic power output is the key to large-scale implementation of solar cell technologies for renewable energy applications. Traditional solar energy harvesting is limited by the costly fabrication of p-n junctions, the duration of sunlight irradiation, and theoretical output limit. In this work, Liu et al. demonstrate that the photovoltaic power output can be dramatically enhanced by mechanical friction between a metal and a semiconductor, leading to the development of a new power generation approach called tribo-photovoltaic generator. It enables highly efficient solar-mechanical energy co-harvesting in the daytime as well as mechanical energy at night. The tribo-photovoltaic effect may be utilized for co-harvesting of solar and mechanical energy in various scenarios such as ocean tidal energy harvesters, wind turbines, and aerospace energy collectors.
