Abstract Flexible Zn 2+ ion hybrid capacitors (ZHCs) will play a crucial role in developing next‐generation wearable products, which demand portability, durability, and environmental adaptability. To further meet these requirements, Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene with exceptional conductivity robust mechanical properties can be utilized as cathodes, except for challenges such the dense stacking of nanosheets. In this study, novel cathode architecture has been developed facilitation an ice template, creates longitudinally aligned arrays microchannels. The introduction hydrochloric acid to slurry induces crumpled morphology, increasing active sites enhancing transport expanded interlayer spacing. Interestingly, experimental results COMSOL simulations verify that structure also effective impacts on anode weakened concentration gradient suppressed dendrite formation. Consequently, ZHCs exhibit enhanced electrochemical performance excellent rate long‐term cycling stability (enduring over 50 000 cycles at 5 A g −1 ) deliver reliable low‐temperature operation by applying anti‐freezing electrolyte. Moreover, flexible assembled gel electrolytes demonstrate flexibility, improved performance, stability, making them well‐suited electronics power LED panels.
