 Carbon-based materials are being explored as potential cathode materials for zinc ion hybrid capacitor, ZiHc, applications. These materials offer cost-effective, high electronic conductivity, chemical inertness, controllable surface states, and tunable pore architectures. Research has focused on optimizing the structure in electrochemical properties of carbon-based materials to improve the energy density and cycling stability of psychs. This review discusses the various dimensions of carbon-based materials, as well as the selection of appropriate current collector and separator materials. It also highlights the challenges and opportunities associated with psychs. This article was authored by Yan Yan Wang, Shuerong Sun, Xiaoyang Wu, and others.
