An ultrasmall Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticle/three‐dimensional hierarchical porous graphene‐like (Fe 2 O 3 /3D HPG) composite has been synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method, which is investigated as a high performance electrode material for supercapacitors. In the composite, the ultra‐small‐sized Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles, with an average size of approximately 5 nm, are uniformly distributed on the 3D HPG substrate. The as‐prepared Fe 2 O 3 /3D HPG composite electrode exhibits good electrochemical performance with a maximum specific capacitance of 967 F g −1 at 1.0 A g −1 in the three‐electrode system in 2.0 mol L −1 KOH aqueous solution, and an outstanding rate capability (74 % capacitance retention at 30 A g −1 ). In addition, the composite electrode also exhibits an excellent cycling performance with 92 % capacitance retention of the initial capacity after 5000 cycles at 1.0 A g −1 .
