The demand for green-power-driven flexible energy storage systems is increasing. This requires new materials for powering wearable electronic devices without conceding energy and power densities. Herein, a nanograss-flower-like nickel di-vanadium selenide (NiV2Se4) is fabricated on a flexible Ni-Cu-Co fabric by a scalable oil bath deposition approach. The NiV2Se4 is decorated with silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NiV2Se4-Ag) to improve the electrical conductivity of the electrode surface. The NiV2Se4-Ag electrode exhibits a 27% higher capacity than the NiV2Se4 electrode at 1 mA cm-2, owing to the synergistic effect of Ag nanoparticles and NiV2Se4. Aqueous and flexible hybrid supercapacitors (HSCs) are fabricated with NiV2Se4-Ag and activated carbon (AC) electrodes (NiV2Se4-Ag//AC), which work up to 1.6 V. Aqueous NiV2Se4-Ag//AC HSCs maintain 76% capacitance at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 and deliver an energy density of 77 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 749 W kg-1. Moreover, these HSCs exhibit an excellent cycling stability of 95% after 10,000 galvanostatic charge-discharge cycles. Ultimately, this study demonstrates the potential of NiV2Se4-Ag//AC flexible HSCs for wearable electronics. These HSCs can withstand different bending and twisting angles without compromising the electrochemical performance. The fabricated flexible HSCs can also be recharged by sunlight, providing a sustainable way to utilize natural energy resources.
