Cover Story: Hollow carbon nanorods encapsulating europium oxide (Eu₂O₃) offer a unique way to combine electric double-layer capacitance (EDLC) and pseudocapacitance (PC) in a single material. The carbon framework ensures high conductivity and large surface area, while the Eu₂O₃ provides active redox sites for high energy density. This strong carbon and Eu₂O₃ interface enables efficient charge transfer, resulting in a high energy hybrid supercapacitor. Moreover, the Eu₂O₃ can also be recovered and reused, making the process efficient and sustainable. View this paper
