The design and development of energy storage device with high energy/power density has become a research hotspot. Zinc-ion hybrid capacitors (ZHCs) are considered as one of the most promising candidates. However, the application of ZHCs is hindered by their low energy density at high power density due to the unsatisfactory cathode material. In this study, a novel 3D phosphorus-doped carbon nanotube/reduced graphene oxide (P-CNT/rGO) aerogel cathode is synthesized through a synergistic modification strategy of CNT insertion and P doping modification combined with 3D porous design. The as-obtained P-CNT/rGO aerogel cathode manifests significantly increased surface aera, expanded interlayer spacing, and enhanced pseudocapacitance behavior, thus leading to significantly enhanced specific capacitance and superb ions transport performance. The as-assembled ZHC based on P-CNT/rGO cathode delivers a superior energy density of 42.2 Wh/kg at an extreme-high power density of 80 kW/kg and excellent cycle life. In-depth kinetic analyses are undertaken to prove the enhanced pseudocapacitance behavior and exceptional power output capability of ZHCs. Furthermore, the reaction mechanism of physical and chemical adsorption/desorption of electrolyte ions on the P-CNT/rGO cathode is revealed by systematic ex-situ characterizations. This work can provide a valuable reference for developing advanced graphene-based cathode for high energy/power density ZHCs.
