As the demand for high-performance energy storage systems intensifies, aqueous zinc-ion hybrid capacitors (ZHCs) have emerged as a promising technology due to their high safety, low cost, and environmental friendliness. Now, researchers from Tongji University, led by Prof. Ziyang Song and Prof. Lihua Gan, have developed a novel hydrogen-bond-guided interfacial super-assembly strategy to construct spherical carbon superstructures (SCS-6) with exceptional energy storage performance. This work offers valuable insights into the design of advanced carbon cathodes for next-generation energy storage.
