Abstract

Maxwell’s demon seemingly violates the second law of thermodynamics, but in reality, it requires external energy for information processing and particle control, thereby ensuring an overall increase in system entropy. Here, triboiontronic Maxwell’s demon was established by triboelectric-induced polarization, enabling remote regulation of charge migration within electrical double layers (EDLs). For energy flow, an enhanced physical-adsorption triboiontronic nanogenerator (EP-TING) achieved a remarkable transferred charge density of 2,347.12 mC/m², surpassing conventional EDL-based technologies by several orders of magnitude. Furthermore, the advanced synergy-enhanced strategy TING (ES-TING), integrating redox reactions, further increased the charge density to 5,237.51 mC/m², marking a significant breakthrough in energy conversion efficiency. For information flow, bionic neural circuits utilizing EP-TINGs/ES-TINGs enabled highly portable, interference-resistant underwater transmission systems with minimal energy consumption, effectively addressing challenges of acoustic multipath interference, environmental noise, and severe signal attenuation. Therefore, harnessing triboiontronic Maxwell’s demon provides an efficient energy-information flow, proving crucial in the post-Moore era.
