In article number 1907336, Guqiao Ding, Tiger H. Tao, and co‐workers report a “self‐matching” approach in which a triboelectric layer and a piezoelectric layer are combined for surface‐potential matching. The tribo/piezo nanogenerator (TPNG), incorporating genetically engineered spider silk and PVDF/graphene, shows a superior energy‐harvesting performance, with applications in implantable and wearable electronics.
