The individual triboelectricity and piezoelectricity generation form a combined effect generator is investigated by X. Y. Yang and W. A. Daoud on page 8194. Consisting of aluminum‐polydimethylsiloxane/polyvinylidene fluoride composite carbon, the generator delivers an excellent output upon surface modification with ZnO nanorods. By combining high output with efficient energy generation, the device is promising for powering small electronic devices.
