Zinc-ion hybrid capacitors are classified according to energy storage
Fig. 2 b is a simple illustration of the energy storage mechanism of ZIHCs. Specific energy storage mechanisms include H + /Zn 2+ co-embedding , Zn 2+ embedding and H + reaction on battery-type electrodes , and co-adsorption of Zn 2+, H + and SO 4 2− on capacitive electrodes [27, 30]. Fig. 2 c–d illustrates different storage principles.
