Using the density functional theory, we conducted a study on the electrification upon contact between hydrophobic liquid molecules and water molecules, revealing localized characteristics of contact-electrification. These "localized features" refer to the specific microscale characteristics where electron transfer predominantly occurs at the contact regions, influenced by factors such as atomic distances and molecular orientations. Although the electrostatic potential and the highest occupied molecular orbital–lowest unoccupied molecular orbital gap offer substantial predictive insights for electron transfer across polymer interfaces, they fall short in capturing the complexities associated with the interaction between hydrophobic liquids and water molecules. The electronegativity of elements at the interface and the localization of molecular orbitals play a decisive role in electron transfer. Simultaneously, for liquid molecules with irregular structures, there is no correlation between the "contact area" and the amount of electron transfer. The "contact area" refers to the surface region where two different liquid molecules come into close proximity. It is defined by the surface area of atoms with interatomic distances smaller than the van der Waals radius. This study challenges traditional assumptions about contact-electrification, particularly in liquid–liquid interfaces, providing new insights into the localized nature of this phenomenon.
