The triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) offers a simple and cost‐effective method to harness waste energy and works on the principle of contact electrification and electrostatic induction. The performance and application of TENG depend to a great extent on the material used for fabrication. The most widely used materials include polymers and a few metals, well‐arranged in the triboelectric series so as to promote electrification upon contact. New triboelectric materials are important for extending the applications and specificity of the TENG. A TENG based on a metal–organic framework (MOF) of the zeolitic imidazole family is reported here. The zeolitic imidazole framework‐8 (ZIF‐8) and Kapton are used as the active materials for MOF–TENG fabrication. Surface potential, structural, morphological and electrical measurements reveals detailed characteristics of ZIF‐8, confirming the MOF as a potential candidate for TENG applications. The MOF–TENG generates a sustainable output of 164 V and 7 µA in vertical contact–separation mode. Finally, a self‐powered UV counterfeit system and a tetracycline sensor are successfully developed and demonstrated with the MOF–TENG. The sensor is highly selective and reusable simply by washing.
