Recently, great efforts have been devoted to designing and fabricating flexible, lightweight, wearable, and miniaturized supercapacitors. At the same time, the exploration of green, renewable, and biocompatible energy‐storage materials has been attracting intensive attention. By taking fabrication and configuration design into consideration, the naturally derivable juglone molecule was exploited as an active charge‐storage material, and integrated into flexible and micro‐supercapacitor devices. The polypyrrole/juglone‐composite‐based supercapacitors exhibit significant energy‐storage capabilities with high specific capacitance and long cyclability, which are comparable to that of conventional electrode materials. This study presents a new way for developing flexible, lightweight, portable, and/or wearable electronic devices with biocompatible and environmentally friendly attributes.
