2D materials are ideal for constructing flexible electrochemical energy storage devices due to their great advantages of flexibility, thinness, and transparency. Here, a simple one‐step hydrothermal process is proposed for the synthesis of nickel–cobalt phosphate 2D nanosheets, and the structural influence on the pseudocapacitive performance of the obtained nickel–cobalt phosphate is investigated via electrochemical measurement. It is found that the ultrathin nickel–cobalt phosphate 2D nanosheets with an Ni/Co ratio of 4:5 show the best electrochemical performance for energy storage, and the maximum specific capacitance up to 1132.5 F g−1. More importantly, an aqueous and solid‐state flexible electrochemical energy storage device has been assembled. The aqueous device shows a high energy density of 32.5 Wh kg−1 at a power density of 0.6 kW kg−1, and the solid‐state device shows a high energy density of 35.8 Wh kg−1 at a power density of 0.7 kW kg−1. These excellent performances confirm that the nickel–cobalt phosphate 2D nanosheets are promising materials for applications in electrochemical energy storage devices.
