This study explores a facile “direct-immersion” approach for fabricating single-walled CNTs (SWCNTs)/PANI flexible composite films for SCs. PANI is dissolved in concentrated sulfuric acid (H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub>) to form a conducting ink, into which the SWCNTs film is soaked. The concentrated H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> promotes effective contact between PANI and CNTs, forming stable SWCNT/PANI interface through strong <i>π</i>–<i>π</i> interactions. By controlling reaction conditions, the structural integrity and supercapacitive performance of SWCNT/PANI are improved. Prolonging the immersion time to 24 h results in a flake-like structure of PANI, with CNTs linking among the flakes. This configuration facilitates ion transport and realizes fast redox reactions. Consequently, a high specific capacitance of 329 F g<sup>−1</sup> (at 1 A g<sup>−1</sup>) is achieved, demonstrating good rate capability and cycling stability. Moreover, the as-assembled SC devices achieve a high energy density of 14 Wh kg<sup>−1</sup> at a power density of 400 W kg<sup>−1</sup>.
