Herein, ethylene carbonate (EC) is introduced into AN-based electrolyte (AN-EC electrolyte), significantly enhancing the systematic electrochemical stability. Theoretical calculations and experimental characterizations reveal that EC molecules, with superior electrochemical stability, preferentially adsorb onto electrode interfaces and simultaneously reduce AN diffusion rates through strong intermolecular interactions, leading to the suppression of AN-electrode contact and associated decomposition risks. Benefiting from this dual-protective mechanism, the supercapacitor based on AN-EC electrolyte achieves a high voltage window of 3.2 V, enhanced cycling stability (70% capacity retention after 30,000 cycles at 3.2 V), and superior energy and power densities (33.3 W h kg<sup>−1</sup>@749 W kg<sup>−1</sup> and 17.6 W h kg<sup>−1</sup>@9,883 W kg<sup>−1</sup>, respectively).
