• Chemical-free: Permits disinfection without the addition of chemicals that generate harmful and carcinogenic byproducts

• Water repellant: Manages moisture content by facilitating deep penetration and coating of metal oxide throughout the wood structure
• Fungal resistant: Withstands mold growth in humid and moist environments
• Thermally insulating: Reduces thermal bridging in wood studs used in building materials

Safety: intrinsically limited charge transfer and current provide better safety for both personnel and instruments.

Cost-effectiveness: the TENG was simply operated using a rotary motor and the cost of the TENG device and boost circuit is less than 100 USD, while a commercial DC HV power source usually costs more than 1000 USD.

Controllability: owing to the charge dominating output characteristic of TENG, the droplet jetting frequency could be controlled by the TENG operation frequency.
