Electrophoretic motion at low potentials is facilitated by redox chemistry occurring in a supercapacitor‐based electrochemical energy storage system during charge and discharge. We show that MnO 2 ‐modified electrodes can effectively alleviate the electrode surface polarization, the main factor that leads to inefficient electrophoresis at low voltages. A self‐powered electrophoretic system based on a discharging battery has been also fabricated.
