AbstractOwing to magic charge storage behavior, an electret can exhibit an external electrostatic field, which is widely used in numerous domains such as electronics, energy, healthcare, and environment. However, the theory of the charge storage mechanism still needs further development to enhance the performance and stability of the electret. Herein, a stable charge storage model known as the heterocharge‐synergy model (HSM) in electrets is proposed and verified, and the electrostatic field superposition effect of electrets is also proved. Based on the HSM and superposition effect, the stable electrostatic field intensity (average of ≈22.49 kV cm−1 and maximum of ≈29.58 kV cm−1, which is close to the minimum air breakdown field intensity of ≈30 kV cm−1) of the composite electret film is multiplied by simple layer‐by‐layer stacking. Utilizing the multilayer composite electret films and designing a two‐sided electrostatic induction structure, a two‐sided bipolar single‐electrode non‐contact nanogenerator is constructed with transferred charge density up to ≈132.61 µC m−2, which is twice as large as that of the non‐contact nanogenerators with one‐sided electrostatic induction structure. Clearing and utilizing the charge behaviors of the electret can boost the performance and enhance the stability of electret‐based devices in various domains.
