Abstract

The combination of electron-donating and electron-accepting molecules endows coatings with a tunable surface potential to achieve the complete prevention of contact electrification. Compared with the traditional antistatic strategies that require modification of bulk materials or delicate control of patterning on surfaces, our antistatic coatings are chemically heterogeneous but electrostatically homogeneous, offering a reliable antistatic effect and fabrication flexibility on a wide range of substrate materials.
