Hybrid fibers based on MnO2/reduced graphene oxide have been fabricated for flexible energy storage devices. Graphene oxide nanoflakes were reduced in a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) pipeline under the appropriate condition to develop a fiber current collector, which also provides the possibility of weaving. The RGO fiber with the radius of about 35 μm has a resistance of 150 Ω · cm. MnO2 nanoflakes directly grow on the RGO fiber surface acting as the electrode material of the device. The MnO2/RGO hybrid fibers provide excellent energy storage performances. The as-fabricated SC exhibits a high areal capacitance of 1.37 F·cm−2 at the scan rate of 1 mV·s−1, and outstanding long-term cycling stability of 93.75% retention after 5000 cycles. This work demonstrates a cost-effective and versatile strategy for wearable energy storage devices.

Polyaniline in various forms has been widely explored as an electrode material for supercapacitors due to its high theoretical charge storage capacity, facile-cost-effective synthesis, good mechanical strength and ultrafast charge transport. However, commercialization of such pristine forms is very much restricted by low solubilities, rapid agglomeration during device design accompanied by poor electrochemical life and fast environmental decomposition. The blending with nano-carbon materials, metal oxides and other competent materials, may result in high quality materials– “nanocomposites” with superior features is ideally fit for future generation energy storage devices. The present chapter deals with detailed discussions on designing, the fabrication of such binary and ternary nanocomposites, correlating their morphology with electrochemical behavior, so as to optimize their supercapacitive performances. Such an attempt would help to outline the present status and future aspects of these materials which will be of first-hand assistance especially to the beginners to this field of research.

Abstract Copious forms of energy are available in nature, but electrical energy is the convenient form of energy. As a result of this, it is expected that the need for electrical energy will increase considerably by the end of this decade. Thus, the storage of electrical energy is now becoming of paramount importance. Nevertheless, ultra-capacitors are currently a central area of research for energy storage devices due to their high-power density rating, short charging time and long cycling time. The capacitance of an ultra-capacitor is majorly a result of the processing of its electrode materials. Ball milling is one of the most profitable and cost-effective processes of electrode material processing. However, in most of the ball milling research, the focal point is on materials used for balls in ball milling. It is also observed that the material used to produce ball mill jars is of equal momentousness. So, this research aims to examine various materials as jars for a ball milling machine.

Flexible electronics has gained great interest in emerging wearable or rolling-up gadgets, such as foldable displays, electronic papers, and other personal multimedia devices. Subsequently, there is a need to develop energy storage devices that are pliable, inexpensive, and lightweight. Metal–air batteries have been identified as one of alternative energy storages for cost effective and high energy density applications. They offer cheaper production cost and higher energy density than most of the currently available battery technologies. Thus, they are promising candidates for flexible energy storage devices. Flexible metal–air batteries have to maintain their performances during various mechanical deformations. To date, efforts have been focused on fabricating flexible components for metal–air batteries. This review presents a brief introduction to the field, followed by progress on development of flexible electrolytes, electrodes, and prototype devices. Challenges and outlook towards the practical use of metal–air batteries are given in the last part.

ABSTRACTMicro-scale energy storage devices are of great importance to the advancement of low maintenance, high power electronics. They can easily be used in applications that extract energy from mechanical, solar, thermal and thermoelectric sources. Several of these devices have achieved mean areal capacitance of 1.5 mF cm-2 and maximal energy and power densities of 6.6 mJ cm-2 and 44.9 mW cm-2, respectively. It has been demonstrated that a smaller interspace enhances the performance. Currently, these types of devices are only made possible by using several micro-fabrication steps and techniques that are cost prohibitive and limit the larger scale manufacturability. We present a simple but highly scalable and cost effective method in fabricating high power interdigitated micro energy storage devices using binder-free carbon nanotubes membranes and laser irradiation to obtain interspaces on the order of 75 μm. The binder-free electrode devices show higher power density and an improved frequency response, compared to what has been reported in the literature. Additionally, we observed significant reduction in cell resistance leading to enhancement in cell capacitance, and consequently, an increase in energy density.
