Regulation of charge‐transport direction is realized through the coupling of triboelectrification, electrostatic induction, and semiconducting properties for area‐scalable conversion of mechanical energy. The output current from each unit triboelectric generator can always constructively add up due to the unidirectional flow of electrons. This work proposes a practical and general route to area‐scalable applications of the triboelectric generator and other energy‐harvesting techniques.
