The application of anatase titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ), which is an abundant and cost effective resource, in supercapacitors has been restricted due to its poor electronic conductivity and limited mechanical stability. A biomass-derived carbon was coated on anatase TiO 2  nanoparticles via practical and green hydrothermal carbonization in order to overcome these limitations. Hierarchically porous carbon provided a capacitive double layer for charge storage and the TiO 2 /C nanocomposite exhibited a specific capacitance of 61 F × g -1  (0.25 A × g -1 , 0 to 1 V vs. Ag/AgCl, 1 M H 2 SO 4  aqueous electrolyte). The TiO 2 /C/PEDOT:PSS nanocomposite with enhanced specific capacitance and rate capability (189 F × g -1  at 0.25 A × g -1 , 161 F × g -1  at 0.5 A × g -1 , 123 F × g-1 at 1 A × g -1 , 91 F × g -1  at 2 A × g -1 ) was obtained by the application of an electrochemically active PEDOT:PSS layer. The prominent electrochemical and mechanical stability of the ternary nanocomposite was demonstrated by its ability to retain 98 % of its initial capacitance after 1500 cycles of charge-discharge at a high current rate (3 A × g -1 ). The synergistic use of sustainable organic and inorganic components with environmentally friendly and practical methods yields extremely promising electrochemical performances for supercapacitor applications. The TiO 2 /C/PEDOT:PSS nanocomposite presented in this work delivered an electrochemical performance comparable to its published counterparts which are obtained by more sophisticated or hazardous methods and with expensive components.
