Nickel phosphite (Ni 11 (HPO 3 ) 8 (OH) 6 ) superstructures assembled by nanotubes are synthesized under mild hydrothermal conditions with the sodium salt of polystyrene sulfonic acid. More importantly, Ni 11 (HPO 3 ) 8 (OH) 6 superstructures are applied as electrode materials for supercapacitors. Benefitting from their novel superstructures, in a three‐electrode system, Ni 11 (HPO 3 ) 8 (OH) 6 superstructure electrodes show a good specific capacitance (1876 F g −1 at 0.625 A g −1 ), good rate capability, and excellent cycling properties (95 % of the initial specific capacitance at 6.25 A g −1 after 2000 cycles) in 3.0  M KOH. Additionally, asymmetric Ni 11 (HPO 3 ) 8 (OH) 6 –graphene nanosheet supercapacitors are also designed. The specific energy of a cell in 3.0  M KOH reaches about 28.6 Wh kg −1 at 92.5 W kg −1 .
