Self-charging electrostatic face masks leveraging triboelectrification for prolonged air filtration

The decay of electrostatic charges largely reduces the protective efficacy of electret masks. Here, the authors report a triboelectrification-based self-charging electrostatic face mask with high airborne particle capture efficiency and prolonged stability.
