In article number 1902725, Xiaojing Mu, Zhong Lin Wang, Ya Yang and co‐workers report a new mechanism to enhance the output performance of triboelectric nanogenerators. The hot electron‐hole pairs decaying from the surface plasmon resonance effectively enhance the output of TENGs while reducing their output impedances. A 4.5‐fold enhancement in output power and a 75% reduction in output impedance are acquired.
