“…Figure 3e shows that a transistor‐inspired bubble energy generator can transform the initial liquid/solid interface into a solid/gas interface by controlling the bubble spreading and subsequent departure, which yields an output at least one order of magnitude higher than that reported in previous studies 74 . With a similar electrode architecture, a recently developed lubricant‐armored transistor‐like electricity generator (Figure 3f) has also shown enhanced energy output performances at the liquid/liquid surface 75 …”

Harnessing of the movable ions in an aqueous solution to generate electricity is usually regarded as involving the conversion of chemical energy into electrical energy.…”

As the most common but indispensable matter to humankind, water usually stays in a macroscopically electric neutral state. Due to its inherent molecular polarity, however, water can be easily electrified, which builds a connection between water and electricity. Such a coupling of water and electricity abounds deep scientific basics and technological applications. The past several decades have witnessed extensive progress in studying the mutual effects between electricity and water, but a comprehensive review of its fundamentals and applications is still largely missing. In this review, we first reassess and classify the basic electrifying methods of water according to their mechanisms, then highlight how to leverage the bond nexus of water and electricity to achieve promising technical applications. We envision that this review will inspire multidisciplinary scientific communities to think and innovate more on the research of water, electricity, and their marriage.

Recently, the anti-icing, [1][2][3] self-cleaning, [4,5] and anticorrosion [6][7][8] applications of super-hydrophobic surface inspired by the lotus-leaf have received extensive attention in industry and daily life. [9][10][11][12] However, these functional surfaces rely on the micro/nanostructures to trap air, which causes unavoidable failure of its liquid-repelling performance under conditions of pressure and friction. To overcome the shortcomings of the super-hydrophobic surfaces, slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPSs) are designed so that lubricant liquid is injected into the porous surface and exhibited antiwetting behavior. These surfaces display an ultra-lubricated and chemically continuous liquid lubricant interface that rapidly restores damaged areas through the fluidity of the liquid lubricant, providing inherent low hysteresis and self-healing properties. [13][14][15] Such functional surfaces show great application prospects in microbial corrosion inhibition [16][17][18] and energy harvesting. [19,20] The formation of stable SLIPS requires chemically stable lubricating oil, as well as a structured surface to store lubricating oil and provide sufficient capillary force. However, the application of the SLIPS under actual working conditions faces environmental shear stresses to fluids, friction damage, or the evaporation loss of liquid lubricant due to the continuous exposure to air, all of which affect the capillary phenomenon that holds the lubricant, leading to surface failure. [21] Based on this, a two-scale functional structure is proposed to prepare wear-resistant surfaces, where microstructures provide wear resistance and nanostructures provide water repellence. This strategy is applied in various materials and demonstrated universal applicability. [22,23] The micro-nano structure is effective to deal with wear resistance, but it does
