Flexible supercapacitors are favorable for wearable electronics. However, their high-rate capability and mechanical properties are limited because of unsatisfactory ion transfer kinetics and interfacial modulus mismatch inside devices. Here, we develop a metal-organic framework interface with superior electrical and mechanical properties for supercapacitors. The interfacial mechanism facilitates ultrafast ion transfer with an energy barrier reduction of 43% compared with that of conventional transmembrane transport. It delivers high specific capacity at a wide rate range and exhibits ultrastability beyond 30000 charge-discharge cycles. Furthermore, meliorative modulus mismatch benefited from ultrathin interface design that improves mechanical properties of flexible supercapacitors. It delivers a stable energy supply under various mechanical conditions like bending and twisting status and displays ultrastable mechanical properties with performance retention of 95.5% after 10 000 bending cycles. The research paves the way for interfacial engineering for ultrastable electrochemical devices.
