• Free‐standing rotary triboelectric nanogenerators (rTENG) can accomplish special tasks which require both high voltage and high frequency. However, the reported high performance rTENG all have complex structures for output enhancement. In this work, an ultra‐simple strategy to build high performance rTENG is developed. With only one small paper strip added to the conventional structure, the output of the TENG is promoted hugely. The voltage is triplicated to 2.3 kV, and the current and charge are quintupled to 133 µA and 197 nC, respectively. The small paper strip, with the merits of ultra‐simplicity, wide availability, easy accessibility and low cost, functions as a super‐effective charge supplement. This simple and delicate structure enables ultra‐high durability with the 2.3 kV voltage output 100% maintained after 1 000 000 cycles. This charge supplementary strategy is universally effective for many other materials, and decouples the output enhancement from any friction or contact on the metal electrodes, emphasizing a critical working principle for the rTENG. Atmospheric cold plasma is generated using the paper strip rTENG (ps‐rTENG), which demonstrates strong ability to do bacteria sterilization. This simple and persistent charge supplementary strategy can be easily adopted by other designs to promote the output even further. One small paper strip added to the conventional rotary triboelectric nanogenerators (rTENG) structure is able to promote the output by 5 folds. This simple structure also enables excellent durability with the 2.3 kV output 100% maintained after 1 000 000 cycles. Atmospheric plasma is generated using this paper strip enhanced rTENG, which demonstrates good applications in illumination and bacteria sterilization.
