It will be described how the materials occurring in leaves could enable to convert mechanical energy such as from wind and rain drops into electricity using solid-solid or liquid-solid contact electrification of the leaf cuticle. <br/>It will be shown how the resulting electrical signals differ from active electrophysiological signals like action potentials that can be analyzed with soft organic electrodes on the plant surfaces.
