Generating electricity by moving a droplet of ionic liquid along graphene

Atlas context

Derived from the citing claims only: the families, matrix cells and routes those claims take part in.

family: Triboelectric (C.12)family: Electrokinetic (C.23)

D = disequilibrium row · C = coupling family column. A cell reads the state of the atlas for that pair.
