This study systematically investigates the impact of distinct solute chemistries\u2014encompassing strong hydrogen\u2010bonding polyols (D\u2010sorbitol, D\u2010glucose, and D\u2010sucrose) and ethers (diethyl ether (DEE) and tetrahydrofuran (THF)), on the triboelectrification of aqueous droplets at a PTFE interface. Crucially, we demonstrate that low\u2010concentration DEE (0.1 wt%) increases the saturated transferred charge (\n                    <jats:italic>Q<\/jats:italic>\n                    <jats:sub>SC \u2212 sat<\/jats:sub>\n                    ) by approximately 30% relative to DI water under identical device and operating conditions.\u00a0This enhancement is accompanied by favorable interfacial\u2010tension modification and is proposed to arise from an increased availability of interfacial water for electron transfer. In contrast, high\u2010concentration sucrose, a strong hydrogen\u2010bonder, not only substantially impedes charge transfer but also\u00a0uniquely induces a time\u2010dependent charge decay.\u00a0By correlating four key electrical output characteristics (including initial charge rate (\n                    <jats:italic>R<\/jats:italic>\n                    <jats:sub>0<\/jats:sub>\n
