AbstractZn-ion hybrid supercapacitors (SCs) are considered as promising energy storage owing to their high energy density compared to traditional SCs. How to realize the miniaturization, patterning, and flexibility of the Zn-ion SCs without affecting the electrochemical performances has special meanings for expanding their applications in wearable integrated electronics. Ti3C2Tx cathode with outstanding conductivity, unique lamellar structure and good mechanical flexibility has been demonstrated tremendous potential in the design of Zn-ion SCs, but achieving long cycling stability and high rate stability is still big challenges. Here, we proposed a facile laser writing approach to fabricate patterned Ti3C2Tx-based Zn-ion micro-supercapacitors (MSCs), followed by the in-situ anneal treatment of the assembled MSCs to improve the long-term stability, which exhibits 80% of the capacitance retention even after 50,000 charge/discharge cycles and superior rate stability. The influence of the cathode thickness on the electrochemical performance of the MSCs is also studied. When the thickness reaches 0.851 µm the maximum areal capacitance of 72.02 mF cm−2 at scan rate of 10 mV s−1, which is 1.77 times higher than that with a thickness of 0.329 µm (35.6 mF cm−2). Moreover, the fabricated Ti3C2Tx based Zn-ion MSCs have excellent flexibility, a digital timer can be driven by the single device even under bending state, a flexible LED displayer of “TiC” logo also can be easily lighted by the MSC arrays under twisting, crimping, and winding conditions, demonstrating the scalable fabrication and application of the fabricated MSCs in portable electronics.

AbstractHuge volume changes of Si during lithiation/delithiation lead to regeneration of solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) and consume electrolyte. In this article, γ-glycidoxypropyl trimethoxysilane (GOPS) was incorporated in Si/PEDOT:PSS electrodes to construct a flexible and conductive artificial SEI, effectively suppressing the consumption of electrolyte. The optimized electrode can maintain 1000 mAh g−1 for nearly 800 cycles under limited electrolyte compared with 40 cycles of the electrodes without GOPS. Also, the optimized electrode exhibits excellent rate capability. The use of GOPS greatly improves the interface compatibility between Si and PEDOT:PSS. XPS Ar+ etching depth analysis proved that the addition of GOPS is conducive to forming a more stable SEI. A full battery assembled with NCM 523 cathode delivers a high energy density of 520 Wh kg−1, offering good stability.

Electrode material design is the key to the development of asymmetric supercapacitors with high electrochemical performances and stability. In this work, Al-doped NiO nanosheet arrays were synthesized using a facile hydrothermal method followed by a calcination process, and the synthesized arrays exhibited a superior pseudocapacitive performance, including a favourable specific capacitance of 2253 ± 105 F g −1 at a current density of 1 A g −1 , larger than that of an undoped NiO electrode (1538 ± 80 F g −1 ). More importantly, the arrays showed a high-rate capability (75% capacitance retention at 20 A g −1 ) and a high cycling stability (approx. 99% maintained after 5000 cycles). The above efficient capacitive performance benefits from the large electrochemically active area and enhanced conductivity of the arrays. Furthermore, an assembled asymmetric supercapacitor based on the Al-doped NiO arrays and N-doped multiwalled carbon nanotube ones delivered a high specific capacitance of 192 ± 23 F g −1 at 0.4 A g −1 with a high-energy density of 215 ± 15 Wh kg −1 and power density of 21.6 kW kg −1 . Additionally, the asymmetric device exhibited a durable cyclic stability (approx. 100% retention after 5000 cycles). This work with the proposed doping method will be beneficial to the construction of high-performance supercapacitor systems.
