Driven by the "Internet of Everything" (IoE) vision, the demand for smart materials is growing. Wood, one of the most abundant and renewable resources, has long been a staple in construction and furnishing applications. To further expand its application range, this study developed a high-strength, stable wood-based triboelectric material through a synergistic biphasic mechanism. The in situ growth of flame retardants and the formation of a dense char layer significantly enhanced the fire resistance of the wood-based triboelectric material, reducing the heat release rate (HRR) by 95.4% and total heat release (THR) by 94.2%. The dense laminate structure provided an excellent impact toughness (126 kJ m −2 ). As a smart sensor, the wood-based triboelectric material demonstrated the ability to recognize human motion states and trajectories, exhibiting great potential for applications in smart homes. This study provides valuable insights for exploring the potential applications of wood as a smart material.

Carbon neutrality necessitates new technologies for renewable energy utilization, active regulation of heat exchange, and material recycling to promote green and intelligent building development. Currently, the integration of these functions and characteristics into a single coating material presents a significant challenge. Here, we demonstrate a novel triboelectric and radiative cooling coating with mussel-inspired architectures, fabricated using cellulose nanofibers and Mica-TiO 2 as a functional mortar and brick, respectively. The abundant polar groups and specific surface area of cellulose nanofibers enable a high accumulation of induced electrostatic charges, allowing the coating to act as a tribolayer to generate triboelectric outputs. The regularly layered arrangement of Mica-TiO 2 endows fire resistance to the coating, which exhibits self-extinguishing properties and maintains 45% of its original electrical output even after direct exposure to flame for 20 s. Additionally, the created multilayered stacking morphology, as well as intense group vibrations of Mica-TiO 2 , facilitates high reflectivity (R solar = 0.9) and long-wave infrared emissivity (ϵLWIR = 0.94), achieving a daytime subambient temperature drop of 5.3 °C. Notably, the coating can be recycled easily while maintaining its triboelectric, radiative cooling, and fire-resistant properties. This work provides an innovative strategy for unifying triboelectric and radiative cooling functions, as well as recyclability, into a single coating material, offering new insights for future sustainable and energy-efficient buildings.
