(A) Construction of a TING based on Au/FEP hybrid interfaces enabling asymmetric EDL formation and ionic transport; (B) Experimental verification of directional ion migration induced by asymmetric EDLs through controlled wetting-sequence measurements; (C) Regulation of triboiontronic output via structural optimization of metal/dielectric hybrid interfaces, balancing charge collection and EDL formation; (D) Comparative EDL configurations at dielectric, metallic, and hybrid interfaces, highlighting their distinct roles in charge generation and transport; (E) DC output arising solely from asymmetric EDL-driven ionic migration; (F) Enhancement of ionic transport through synergistic coupling between asymmetric EDL-induced concentration gradients and interfacial redox reactions; (G) Overall performance enhancement of triboiontronic energy conversion enabled by asymmetric EDL-redox coupling.
