Li-ion hybrid capacitors (LIHCs), consisting of an energy-type redox anode and a power-type double-layer cathode, are attracting significant attention due to the good combination with the advantages of conventional Li-ion batteries and supercapacitors. However, most anodes are battery-like materials with the sluggish kinetics of Li-ion storage, which seriously restrict the energy storage of LIHCs at the high charge/discharge rates. Herein, vanadium nitride (VN) nanowire is demonstated to have obvious pseudocapacitive characteristic of Li-ion storage and can get further gains in energy storage through a 3D porous architecture with the assistance of conductive reduced graphene oxide (RGO). The as-prepared 3D VN-RGO composite exhibits the large Li-ion storage capacity and fast charge/discharge rate within a wide working widow from 0.01-3 V (vs Li/Li+), which could potentially boost the operating potential and the energy and power densities of LIHCs. By employing such 3D VN-RGO composite and porous carbon nanorods with a high surface area of 3343 m(2) g(-1) as the anode and cathode, respectively, a novel LIHCs is fabricated with an ultrahigh energy density of 162 Wh kg(-1) at 200 W kg(-1), which also remains 64 Wh kg(-1) even at a high power density of 10 kW kg(-1)
