Fiber-based supercapacitors (FSCs) have emerged as promising candidates for wearable and flexible energy storage devices. They combine the advantages of traditional supercapacitors—high power output and long operational life—with mechanical flexibility, shape adaptability, and unique transport properties, making them suitable for next-generation wearable electronics and smart textiles. Yet, limitations in the voltage window and energy density of current gel polymer electrolytes—essential for flexibility and ionic conductivity—along with integration challenges in textile-based systems, have restricted their practical applications. To address these issues, extensive research has focused on improving FSC design, configurations, and electrode materials. Recent efforts highlight the use of carbon-based fibers such as graphene and carbon nanotube (CNT) composites, as well as pseudo-capacitive materials. Their mechanical strength, electrochemical performance, and compatibility with textile systems have been investigated to enhance device efficiency. This review examines key developments in FSCs, emphasizing advances in electrode structures and electrolyte innovations aimed at higher ionic conductivity, stability, and encapsulation. Finally, it discusses ongoing challenges and opportunities, presenting a forward-looking perspective on multifunctional FSCs that integrate energy harvesting or self-healing features, paving the way for their widespread adoption in wearable and smart textile technologies.
