A flexible superamphiphobic SiO2/poly (vinylidene difluoride-co-trifluoroethylene) (PVDF-TrFE) film is designed to harvest the electrostatic energy from water. The working mechanism of the water-triboelectric nanogenerator is based on the triboelectricity generated from the contact electrification b...
