    A facile fabrication method was introduced to enhance the specific surface area and porosity of the carbon nanofibers. The carbon nanofibers bearing TiO<inf>2</inf> hollow nanosphere electrodes were synthesized using an electrospinning technique followed by heat treatment. Varying amounts of as-prepared TiO<inf>2</inf> hollow nanospheres were incorporated into the polymer precursor to examine their impact on the electrode enhancement. The electrochemical performance of supercapacitor electrodes composed of carbon nanofibers bearing TiO<inf>2</inf> hollow nanospheres was investigated. Results revealed that the specific capacitance of the bare carbon nanofibers electrode (170 F g<sup>-1</sup> at a current density of 0.5 A g<sup>-1</sup>) was significantly improved upon when embedded with 5 wt % TiO<inf>2</inf> hollow nanospheres of 191 F g<sup>-1</sup>. Additionally, the carbon nanofibers bearing 5 wt % TiO<inf>2</inf> hollow nanosphere electrodes demonstrated excellent cycling stability, retaining 97% of its initial specific capacitance even after 10000 cycles. Additionally, the electrochemical performance of asymmetric supercapacitors from these electrodes was also demonstrated. These findings highlight the ability of as-prepared TiO<inf>2</inf> hollow nanospheres to improve the efficiency of the carbon nanofibers electrode due to the optimum porosity to the amount of TiO<inf>2</inf> hollow nanospheres in the carbon nanofibers, opening up possibilities for the development of high-performance supercapacitors.
