Sumario:Hybrid metal-ion capacitors, merging the merits of batteries and supercapacitors, are considered as a promising energy storage technology able to satisfy the rising energy requirements of modern powered devices. Regrettably, their development is currently hampered by the diffusion-controlled storage mechanism taking place at the battery-type, negative electrode material. Herein we highlight and review the promising role of carbon nanospheres -that combine a dense morphology with short solid-state diffusion pathways- in minimizing the kinetic restrictions in the battery-type electrode. Besides, carbon nanospheres presenting a highly developed pore structure and readily available micropores fully satisfy the requirements for the supercapacitor-type electrode. The recent findings collected in this concept paper support the suitability of carbon nanospheres for the production of negative and positive electrode materials for these hybrid systems.
