The Cover Feature shows the potential profile of an aqueous zinc‐ion hybrid supercapacitor (Zn‐HSCs) based on commercial activated carbon (AC) and Zn foil with non‐toxic and non‐flammable electrolyte. Zn‐HSCs present a promising route to bridge the gap between supercapacitors and batteries due to the unique configuration merits in terms of efficient utilization of the capacitance of AC electrode at the cell level and effective suppression of the self‐discharge.
