The rational design of advanced structures consisting of multiple components with excellent electrochemical capacitive properties is one of the crucial hindrances to be overcome for high‐performance supercapacitors (SCs). Herein, a superfast and facile synthesis of flower‐like NiMn‐layered double hydroxides (NiMn‐LDH) with high SC performance using an electrodeposition process on nickel foam is proposed. Oxygen vacancies are then modulated via mild H 2 O 2 treatment for the first time, significantly promoting the electrochemical energy storage performance. The oxygen‐vacancy abundant NiMn‐LDH (Ov‐LDH) reaches a maximum specific capacity of 1183 C g −1 at the current density of 1 A g −1 and retains a high capacity retention of 835 C g −1 even at a current density of up to 10 A g −1 . Furthermore, the assembled asymmetric SC device achieves a high specific energy density of 46.7 Wh kg −1 at a power density of 1.7 kW kg −1 . Oxygen vacancies are proven to play a vital role in the improvement of electrochemistry performance of LDH based on experimental and theoretical studies. This vacancy engineering strategy provides a new insight into SC active materials and should be beneficial for the design of the next generation of energy storage devices.
