Sodium-ion hybrid capacitors (SICs) have considered as promising candidate for lithium-ion counterpart in large-scale energy storage due to their advantages of natural abundance, potential low cost, and high energy-power output. However, the sluggish electrochemical kinetics in the bulk of battery-type materials is an intractable obstacle for practical applications. In this work, we employ porous sodium titanate (Na₂Ti₃O₇) nanofibers (p-NTO-NFs) as a negative electrode material for sodium-ion storage with high-efficiency ion transport. The p-NTO-NFs electrode provides a high reversible capacity of about 200 mAh·g⁻¹ at low current density of 100 mA·g⁻¹, impressive rate capability of over 100 mAh·g⁻¹ at 5 A·g⁻¹. Given the favorable sodium-ion storage characteristics, a quasi-solid-state sodium-ion hybrid capacitor (QSS-SIC) based on p-NTO-NFs negative electrode is successfully assembled with a sodium-ion conducting gel polymer electrolyte. This QSS-SIC delivers a glorious energy output of 105.7 Wh·kg⁻¹, great power character of 16,156 W·kg⁻¹, and outstanding working stability of 10,000 cycles, revealing the potential application in high energy-power supplies and large-scale energy storage field.
