• A novel gradient-layered architecture based on single-pore hollow lignin nanospheres (HLNPs)-intercalated MXene layers was created to fabricate highly stretchable (600%) and durable (1000 cycling) supercapacitor electrodes.
• The architecture reduced the overstacking of MXene, and the micro-chamber structure of HLNPs better utilized lignin’s pseudocapacitive property to improve ion and electron accessibility (specific capacitance reached 1273 mF cm−2).
• HLNPs enhanced mechanical durability and capacitive stability of the integrated wrinkled electrodes during the stretch-release cycling.
• This study showcased new possibilities of incorporating biobased lignin nanospheres in energy storage devices to fabricate stretchable devices leveraging synergies among various two-dimensional nanomaterials.
