Energy generation can be clean and sustainable if it is dependent on renewable resources and it can be prominently utilized if stored efficiently. Recently, biomass-derived carbon and polymers have been focused on developing less hazardous eco-friendly electrodes for energy storage devices. We have focused on boosting the supercapacitor’s energy storage ability by engineering efficient electrodes in this context. The well-known conductive polymer, polyaniline (PANI), deposited on nickel foam (NF) is used as a positive electrode, while the activated carbon derived from jute sticks (JAC) deposited on NF is used as a negative electrode. The asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) is fabricated for the electrochemical studies and found that the device has exhibited an energy density of 24 µWh/cm2 at a power density of 3571 µW/cm2. Furthermore, the ASC PANI/NF//KOH//JAC/NF has exhibited good stability with ~86% capacitance retention even after 1000 cycles. Thus, the enhanced electrochemical performances of ASC are congregated by depositing PANI on NF that boosts the electrode’s conductivity. Such deposition patterns are assured by faster ions diffusion, higher surface area, and ample electroactive sites for better electrolyte interaction. Besides advancing technology, such work also encourages sustainability.

Transition molybdenum oxides (MoO3) and conductive polymer (polyaniline, PANI) nanomaterials were fabricated and asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) was assembled with MoO3 nanobelts as negative electrode and PANI nanofibers as a positive electrode. Branched PANI nanofibers with a diameter of 100 nm were electrodeposited on Ti mesh substrate and MoO3 nanobelts with width of 30–700 nm were obtained by the hydrothermal reaction method in an autoclave. Redox active electrolyte containing 0.1 M Fe2+/3+ redox couple was adopted in order to enhance the electrochemical performance of the electrode nano-materials. As a result, the PANI electrode shows a great capacitance of 3330 F g−1 at 1 A g−1 in 0.1 M Fe2+/3+/0.5 M H2SO4 electrolyte. The as-assembled ASC achieved a great energy density of 54 Wh kg−1 at power density of 900 W kg−1. In addition, it displayed significant cycle stability and its capacitance even increased to 109% of the original value after 1000 charge–discharge cycles. The superior performance of the capacitors indicates their promising application as energy storage devices.

A solid-state energy storage device has been fabricated using FeCo-selenide nanosheet arrays as positive electrode and Fe2O3 nanorod as negative electrode. As an electrode material, the ternary FeCo-selenide nanosheet arrays supported by Ni foam show a highest specific capacitance of 978 F/g (specific capacity of 163[Formula: see text]mAh/g) at 1 A/g and a superior cycle behavior of 81.2% are obtained after 5000 cycles at current density of 4 A/g. The asymmetric supercapacitor achieves the maximum energy density of 34.6[Formula: see text]W[Formula: see text]h/kg at the power density of 759.6[Formula: see text]W/kg. Furthermore, the superior cycling stability with 83% retention of initial capacitance after 5000 cycles further verify the practical applications of FeCo-selenide//Fe2O3 asymmetric supercapacitor. Meanwhile, the LED bulb and the light board of “CUMT” are lighted by connecting several capacitors to form a series circuit.

Ni-Co binary hydroxide grown on nickel foam was synthesized through a facile one-step process for pseudocapacitive electrode application. The morphology of the fabricated binary hydroxide, evolving from nanosheet to nanowire, was highly controllable by tuning the Ni:Co ratio. In systematical electrochemical measurements, the prepared binary material on nickel foam could be employed as a binder-free working electrode directly. The optimal composition obtained at the Ni:Co ratio of 5:5 in integrated nanosheet/nanowire geometry exhibited high specific capacitances of 2807 and 2222 F/g at current densities of 1 and 20 A/g, equivalent to excellent rate capability. The capacitance loss was 19.8% after 2000 cycles, demonstrating good long-term cyclic stability. The outstanding supercapacitors behaviors benefited from unique structure and synergistic contributions, indicating the great potential of the obtained binary hydroxide electrode for high-performance energy storage devices.

Carbon materials have been widely used in designing supercapacitors (SCs) but the capacitance is not ideal. Herein, we synthesize polyaniline (PANI) nanotubes on the basis of a carbon cloth (CC) through a one-step self-degradation template method, and fabricate a CC@PANI NTs-H (CC@PANI nanotubes doping at high temperature) composite electrode by thermal acid doping. The CC@PANI NTs-H electrode obviously exhibits better electrochemical performance with a gravimetric capacitance of 438 F g−1 and maintains 86.8% after 10,000 cycles than the CC@PANI NTs-R (CC@PANI nanotubes doping at room temperature) electrode. Furthermore, we assemble a flexible solid state supercapacitor (FSSC) device with the as-prepared CC@PANI NTs-H composite electrodes, showing good flexibility and outstanding electrochemical performances with a high gravimetric capacitance of 247 F g−1, a large energy density of 21.9 Wh kg−1, and a capacitance retention of 85.4% after 10,000 charge and discharge cycles. Our work proposes a novel and easy pathway to fabricate low-cost FSSCs for the development of energy storage devices.

Cu -based materials, including metal Cu and semiconductors of Cu 2 O and CuO , are promising and important candidates toward practical electrochemical energy storage devices due to their abundant, low cost, easy synthesis and environmentally friendly merits. This review presents an overview of the applications of Cu -based materials in the state-of-art electrochemical energy storage, including both lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors. The synthesis chemistry, structures and the corresponding electrochemical performances of these materials are summarized and compared. During chemical synthesis and electroactive performance measurement of Cu -based materials, we found that Cu – Cu 2 O – CuO sequence governs all related transformations. Novel water-soluble CuCl 2 supercapacitors with ultrahigh capacitance were also reviewed which can advance the understanding of intrinsic mechanism of inorganic pseudocapacitors. The major goal of this review is to highlight some recent progresses in using Cu -based materials for electrochemical energy storage.
