  text: "<jats:p>\r\n                    Aqueous zinc (Zn)‐ion capacitors (AZICs)
    have addressed considerable attention due to their high energy density, low toxicity,
    and rich abundance of Zn metal. However, the development of ultra‐long cycle life
    and high energy density AZICs is often hindered by the lack of adequately optimized
    active carbon (AC) electrodes and compatible electrolytes. Herein, high‐performance,
    free‐standing AC electrodes for AZICs are derived from sustainable precursors—adenine
    and D‐ribose—using magnesium chloride hexahydrate as an activation agent via a
    eutectic template strategy. Furthermore, an aqueous hybrid electrolyte tailored
    to the designed AC electrodes is developed, significantly enhancing the stability
    and cycle life of AZICs. The resulting AZIC achieves a high specific capacity
    of 164.39 F g\r\n                    <jats:sup>−1</jats:sup>\r\n                    at
    0.1 A g\r\n                    <jats:sup>−1</jats:sup>\r\n                    and
    a magnificently long cell life of over 50 000 cycles with nearly 94.5% capacitance
    retention at 10 000\r\n                    <jats:sup>th</jats:sup>\r\n                    cycles,
    and 76.3% at 50 000\r\n                    <jats:sup>th</jats:sup>\r\n                    cycle.
    The pouch cell assembly also demonstrates comparable specific capacitance and
    energy density to the coin cell, underscoring the potential of large‐scale applications
    of AZICs.\r\n                  </jats:p>"
