Mankind is shifting towards sustainable, efficient and clean energy sources known as green energy. The storage of green energy is an urge of time, to fulfil the energy requirements. Supercapacitors are gaining popularity in the field of energy storage due to their excellent safety, cost-effectiveness, and environmental friendliness. The forthright strategy of using a nitrogen-rich phthalocyanine macrocycle as a nanosized particle is to increase surface area resulting in a high specific capacitance. Herein, an innovative approach has been made by synthesising nanosized hyperbranched metal-free/Co-Phthalocyanine characterized by various analytical and spectroscopic techniques. The morphology of the composite was confirmed through physicochemical characterization like BET, SEM, XRD and electrochemical features were studied through cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The electrode modification was carried out using the binder Poly (vinyl alcohol)-Tetraethyl orthosilicate (PVA-TEOS) crosslinked hybrid solution. The intercalated nanosized palladium on carbon matrix with HBCoPc and HBPc at different ratios enhanced the performance of capacitance. Amongst all the ratios, HBCoPc: Pd–C with 30:70 ratio has demonstrated superior specific capacitance of 824.25 F g<sup>−1</sup> at 0.5 A g<sup>−1</sup>. Additionally, the fabricated electrode of HBCoPc: Pd–C and HBPc: Pd–C has exhibited good capacitance retention of 84.03 % and 81.01 % over 5000 cycles, respectively.

Molecular dynamics (MD) and first-principles simulations indicates that CY10 is uniformly distributed and compactly arranged on perovskite surface, which enhances intermolecular coupling strength, promotes hole transfer, and facilitates the interfacial interactions at perovskites/HTMs interface. The experimental results validated the reliability of the theoretical simulations, which demonstrated that CY10 as HTM exhibited tighter intermolecular π-π stacking, smooth film morphology, low interfacial defect density, and effective suppression of energy loss caused by interfacial non-radiative recombination.
