A fast, simple, and highly efficient method is reported to develop large area nanostructured carbon electrodes by spin‐on nanoprinting using carbon precursor polymer, polyacrylonitrile. Supercapacitors developed using these carbon electrodes exhibit an order of magnitude improvement in energy and power density compared to planar carbon electrodes. Even without a metal current collector, performance of these electrodes is comparable to other state‐of‐the‐art materials.
