Carbons dominate anode materials for supercapacitors, however the attained energy density remains low. Here the authors fabricate low-crystalline iron oxide-hydroxide nanoparticle anodes with good electrochemical characteristics, exhibiting high stability and energy/power densities in a hybrid supercapacitor.
