To enhance the durability of triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG), liquid lubrication has been used to reduce mechanical abrasion. However, as the charge transportation behavior in dielectric liquid is not clearly understood, the output energy is still low although some improvements have been reported. Herein, the charge transportation behaviors in dielectric liquid by self‐excited liquid suspension triboelectric nanogenerator (LS‐TENG) are systematically investigated. The important role of solid–liquid triboelectrification effect, charge–liquid transmission and dissipation effect, and the homogeneous dielectric induction effect in promoting its output performance is found. The LS‐TENG with a dual dielectric tribolayer has advantages of slight driving force and long lifetime for harvesting micro energy. The output of LS‐TENG remains almost constant for more than 234 k operating cycles. A high charge density of 704 µC m−2 is obtained, 2.7 times as much as that of the current highest record in non‐contact TENG. Additionally, the rotary LS‐TENG lights up 4200 LEDs and continuously powers a variety of wireless sensors by harvesting wind energy at low wind speed. This work provides an important insight toward the charge transportation mechanism in dielectric liquid, and a prospective strategy for achieving highly robust TENG in micro energy harvesting for practical applications.
