Abstract
The downsizing of microscale energy storage devices is crucial for powering modern on-chip technologies by miniaturizing electronic components. Developing high-performance microscale energy devices, such as micro-supercapacitors, is essential through processing smart electrodes for on-chip structures. In this context, we introduce porous gold (Au) interdigitated electrodes (IDEs) as current collectors for micro-supercapacitors, using polyaniline as the active material. These porous Au IDE-based symmetric micro-supercapacitors (P-SMSCs) show a remarkable enhancement in charge storage performance, with a 187% increase in areal capacitance at 2.5 mA compared to conventional flat Au IDE-based devices, despite identical active material loading times. Our P-SMSCs achieve an areal capacitance of 60 mF/cm2, a peak areal energy density of 5.44 μWh/cm2, and an areal power of 2778 μW/cm2, surpassing most reported SMSCs. This study advances high-performance SMSCs by developing highly porous microscale planar current collectors, optimizing microelectrode use, and maximizing capacity within a compact footprint.

ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:37355-37364. [PMID: 39246461 PMCID: PMC11375808 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.4c05514] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2024] [Revised: 08/03/2024] [Accepted: 08/08/2024] [Indexed: 09/10/2024]
Abstract
This study reports a streamlined method for producing a highly nanoporous current collector with a substantial specific surface area, serving as an electrode for microsupercapacitors (MSCs). Initially, commercial Ni foams are patterned into an interdigitated structure by laser cutting. Subsequently, the Ni foams are infused with NiO nanopowders through dip coating, sintering, and reduction in an H2 atmosphere, followed by the growth of MnO2 through a redox reaction. The incorporation of NiO within this three-dimensional Ni current collector results in notable porosity within the range of approximately 200-600 nm. Such a 3D, highly nanoporous electrode dramatically increases the specific surface area by 30 times and substantially boosts the amount of active material deposition, surpassing those of commercially available Ni foams. Performance evaluations of this highly nanoporous electrode in a 1 M KOH solution demonstrate an areal capacity of 19.3 F/cm2, retaining more than 95% capacitance at 5 mA/cm2, and exhibiting an energy density of 671 μW h/cm2, 25 times greater than commercial Ni foams. Moreover, in the realm of solid-state applications for MSCs, the remarkably high porous electrode achieves a commendable areal capacity of 7.22 F/cm2 and an energy density of 263.9 μW h/cm2, rendering it exceptionally suitable for use in MSC applications.

Abstract
Simple and scalable production of micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) is crucial to address the energy requirements of miniature electronics. Although significant advancements have been achieved in fabricating MSCs through solution-based printing techniques, the realization of high-performance MSCs remains a challenge. In this paper, graphene-based MSCs with a high power density were prepared through screen printing of aqueous conductive inks with appropriate rheological properties. High electrical conductivity (2.04 × 104 S∙m-1) and low equivalent series resistance (46.7 Ω) benefiting from the dense conductive network consisting of the mesoporous structure formed by graphene with carbon black dispersed as linkers, as well as the narrow finger width and interspace (200 µm) originating from the excellent printability, prompted the fully printed MSCs to deliver high capacitance (9.15 mF∙cm-2), energy density (1.30 µWh∙cm-2) and ultrahigh power density (89.9 mW∙cm-2). Notably, the resulting MSCs can effectively operate at scan rates up to 200 V∙s-1, which surpasses conventional supercapacitors by two orders of magnitude. In addition, the MSCs demonstrate excellent cycling stability (91.6% capacity retention and ~100% Coulombic efficiency after 10,000 cycles) and extraordinary mechanical properties (92.2% capacity retention after 5000 bending cycles), indicating their broad application prospects in flexible wearable/portable electronic systems.

Abstract
Micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) have attracted significant attention for potential applications in miniaturized electronics due to their high power density, rapid charge/discharge rates, and extended lifespan. Despite the unique properties of low-dimensional nanomaterials, which hold tremendous potential for revolutionary applications, effectively integrating these attributes into MSCs presents several challenges. 3D printing is rapidly emerging as a key player in the fabrication of advanced energy storage devices. Its ability to design, prototype, and produce functional devices incorporating low-dimensional nanomaterials positions it as an influential technology. In this review, we delve into recent advancements and innovations in micro-supercapacitor manufacturing, with a specific focus on the incorporation of low-dimensional nanomaterials using direct ink writing (DIW) 3D printing techniques. We highlight the distinct advantages offered by low-dimensional nanomaterials, from quantum effects in 0D nanoparticles that result in high capacitance values to rapid electron and ion transport in 1D nanowires, as well as the extensive surface area and mechanical flexibility of 2D nanosheets. Additionally, we address the challenges encountered during the fabrication process, such as material viscosity, printing resolution, and seamless integration of active materials with current collectors. This review highlights the remarkable progress in the energy storage sector, demonstrating how the synergistic use of low-dimensional nanomaterials and 3D printing technologies not only overcomes existing limitations but also opens new avenues for the development and production of advanced micro-supercapacitors. The convergence of low-dimensional nanomaterials and DIW 3D printing heralds the advent of the next generation of energy storage devices, making a significant contribution to the field and laying the groundwork for future innovations.

Abstract
Bifunctional electrode materials are highly desirable for meeting increasing global energy demands and mitigating environmental impact. However, improving the atom-efficiency, scalability, and cost-effectiveness of storage systems, as well as optimizing conversion processes to enhance overall energy utilization and sustainability, remains a significant challenge for their application. Herein, we devised an optimized, facile, economic, and scalable synthesis of large area (cm2), ultrathin (∼2.9 ± 0.3 nm) electroactive nanosheet of β-Ni(OH)2, which acted as bifunctional electrode material for charge storage and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The β-Ni(OH)2 nanosheet electrode shows the volumetric capacity of 2.82 Ah.cm-3(0.82 µAh.cm-2) at the current density of 0.2 mA.cm-2. The device shows a high capacity of 820 mAh.cm-3 with an ultrahigh volumetric energy density of 0.33 Wh.cm-3 at 275.86 W.cm-3 along with promising stability (30,000 cycles). Furthermore, the OER activity of ultrathin β-Ni(OH)2 exhibits an overpotential (η10) of 308 mV and a Tafel value of 42 mV dec-1 suggesting fast reaction kinetics. The mechanistic studies are enlightened through density functional theory (DFT), which reveals that additional electronic states near the Fermi level enhance activity for both capacitance and OER.

Abstract
Miniaturized solid state capacitors leveraging migration of unipolar ions in a single polyelectrolyte layer sandwiched between metal electrodes, namely, polyelectrolyte capacitors (PECs), have been recently reported with areal capacitance up to 100-200 nF mm-2. Nonetheless, application of PECs in consumer and industrial electronics has been hindered so far by their small operational frequency range, up to a few kHz, due to the resistive behavior (phase angle >-45°) of PECs in the range kHz-to-MHz. Here, it is reported on multilayer polyelectrolyte capacitors (mPECs) that leverage as dielectric an ambipolar nanometer-thick (down to 10 nm) stack of anionic and cationic polyelectrolytes assembled layer-by-layer between metal electrodes to eliminate the resistive behavior at frequencies from kHz to MHz. This significantly extends the operational range of mPECs over PECs. mPECs with areal capacitance as high as 25 nF mm-2 at 20 Hz and full capacitive behavior from 100 mHz to 10 MHz are demonstrated using different assembling conditions and anionic/cationic polyelectrolyte pairs. The mPECs reliably operate over time for >300 million cycles, at different biasing voltages up to 3 V, and temperatures up to 80 °C, showing a reversible capacitive behavior without significant hysteresis. Application of mPECs in flexible electronics, also operating at high frequency, is envisaged.

Abstract
In this work, tin sulfide nanosheets decorated on face-mask-derived activated carbon have been explored as electrode material for electrochemical supercapacitors. A hydrothermal route was employed to grow tin sulfide on the surface and inside of high-surface-area face-mask-derived activated carbon, activated at 850 °C, to produce a hierarchical interconnected porous composite (ACFM-850/TS) structure. The presence of tin sulfide in the porous carbon framework exposed the surface active sites for rapid adsorption/desorption of electrolyte ions and ensured high utilization of the porous carbon surface. Furthermore, the porous ACFM-850 framework prevented the stacking/agglomeration of tin sulfide sheets, thereby enhancing the charge-transport kinetics in the composite electrodes. Benefiting from the synergistic effect of tin sulfide and ACFM-850, the resulting ACFM-850/TS composite exhibited an attractive specific capacitance of 423 F g-1 at a 0.5 A g-1 current density and superior rate capability (71.3% at a 30 A g-1 current density) in a 1.0 M Na2SO4 electrolyte. In addition, we fabricated a planar symmetric interdigitated supercapacitor on a stretchable Spandex fabric using an ACFM-850/TS composite electrode and carboxymethyl cellulose/NaClO4 as a solid-state gel electrolyte employing a scalable screen-printing process. The as-prepared stretchable supercapacitors displayed an ultrahigh energy density of 9.2 μWh cm-2 at a power density of 0.13 mW cm-2. In addition, they exhibited an excellent cyclic stability of 64% even after 10,000 charge-discharge cycles and 42% after 1000 continuous stretch (at 25% stretching)/release cycles. Such screen-printed interdigitated planar supercapacitors with activated carbon composite electrodes and a solid-state gel electrolyte act as promising low-cost energy-storage devices for wearable and flexible integrated electronic devices.

Abstract
Developing novel supercapacitor electrodes with high energy density and good cycle stability has aroused great interest. Herein, the vertically aligned CoNiO2/Co3O4 nanosheet arrays anchored on boron doped diamond (BDD) films are designed and fabricated by a simple one-step electrodeposition method. The CoNiO2/Co3O4/BDD electrode possesses a large specific capacitance (214 mF cm-2) and a long-term capacitance retention (85.9% after 10,000 cycles), which is attributed to the unique two-dimensional nanosheet architecture, high conductivity of CoNiO2/Co3O4 and the wide potential window of diamond. Nanosheet materials with an ultrathin thickness can decrease the diffusion length of ions, increase the contact area with electrolyte, as well as improve active material utilization, which leads to an enhanced electrochemical performance. Additionally, CoNiO2/Co3O4/BDD is fabricated as the positive electrode with activated carbon as the negative electrode, this assembled asymmetric supercapacitor exhibits an energy density of 7.5 W h kg-1 at a power density of 330.5 W kg-1 and capacity retention rate of 97.4% after 10,000 cycles in 6 M KOH. This work would provide insights into the design of advanced electrode materials for high-performance supercapacitors.

Abstract
Systematic analyses of electrolyte physicochemical properties are important to screen ionic liquids (ILs) and understand the electrochemical performance of supercapacitor electrolytes. This study harmonizes the evaluation of electrochemical performance and transport properties of eight shortlisted ILs from 22 commercially available hydrophobic ILs toward achieving a ≥ 5 V supercapacitor capable of high-temperature operation (up to 353.15 K). The eight ILs are N-Propyl-N-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ([Pyr 1, 3] [TFSI], N-Pentyl-N-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ([Pyr 1, 5] [TFSI]), N-Propyl-N-methylpyrrolidinium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide ([Pyr 1, 3] [FSI]), 1-Methyl-1-(2-methoxyethyl)pyrrolidinium Bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ([Pyr 1, 102] [TFSI]), 1-Methyl-1-propylpiperidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ([Pip 1, 3] [TFSI]), 1-Methyl-1-propylpiperidinium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide ([Pip 1, 3] [FSI]), N-Trimethyl-N-propylammonium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ([N 111, 3] [TFSI]), N-Trimethyl-N-hexylammonium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ([N 111, 6] [TFSI]). The density, viscosity, and ionic conductivity of the eight ILs were measured between 278.15 and 373.15 K to confirm the effects of temperature and ion structure before electrochemical characterization. The [FSI]-based ILs ([Pip 1, 3] [FSI] and [Pyr 1, 3] [FSI]) showed lower densities and viscosities compared to other ILs among the eight based on [TFSI]. Consequently, the highest conductivity was obtained for [Pyr 1, 3] [FSI]. Cyclic voltammetry and impedance spectroscopy was performed on supercapacitors assembled with the eight ILs as electrolytes between 298.15-353.15 K. Conclusion from the two-electrode supercapacitors using multi-walled carbon nanotubes showed the 6 most-applicable ILs towards the targeted ≥ 5 V SC at high temperature are [Pip 1, 3] [TFSI] (5.4 V), [Pip 1, 3] [FSI] (5 V), [N 111, 3] [TFSI] (5.1 V), [N 111, 6] [TFSI] (5.2 V), [Pyr 1, 102] [TFSI] (5.2 V), and [Pyr 1, 5] [TFSI] (5.2 V).

Abstract
With the increasing demand for wearable and miniature electronics, in-plane zinc (Zn) ion hybrid micro-supercapacitors (ZIHMSCs), as a promising and compatible energy power source, have attracted tremendous attention due to their unique merits. Despite enormous development and breakthroughs in this field, there is still a lack of a systematic and comprehensive review to update the recent progress of in-plane ZIHMSCs in the design and fabrication of both micro-anodes and micro-cathodes, the exploration and optimization of new electrolytes, and the investigation of related-energy storage mechanisms. This minireview summarizes the key breakthroughs and recent advances in the construction of high-performance in-plane ZIHMSCs. First, the background and fundamentals of in-plane ZIHMSCs are briefly introduced. Then, new concepts, strategies, and latest exciting developments in the preparation and interfacial engineering of Zn metal micro-anodes, the fabrication of advanced micro-cathodes, and the exploration of new electrolyte systems are discussed, respectively. Finally, the key challenges and future directions for the development of high-performance in-plane ZIHMSCs are presented as well. This review not only accounts for the recent research progress in the field of the in-plane ZIHMSCs, but also provides important new insights into the design of next-generation miniaturized energy storage devices.

Abstract
Increasing the energy density of microsupercapacitors is a key challenge in promoting their practical applications. Accordingly, the construction of asymmetric microsupercapacitors (AMSCs) based on pseudocapacitive materials by increasing the capacitance of devices and widening their working voltage is an effective way to address this challenge. In this work, double-electric-layer-structured pseudocapacitive electrodes were designed and prepared for AMSCs via a one-step direct-writing method. Benefiting from the structural advantages and complementary voltage of the electrodes, AMSCs delivered a wide operating voltage window of up to 1.8 V in a polyvinyl alcohol/LiCl gel electrolyte and showed a high areal capacitance of 42 mF cm-2, resulting in an outstanding areal energy density of 18.9 μW h cm-2. This study provides a new approach for developing high-performance microsupercapacitors for portable electronic devices.

Abstract
The entire world is aware of the serious issue of global warming and therefore utilizing renewable energy sources is the most encouraging steps toward solving energy crises, and as a result, energy storage solutions are necessary. The supercapacitors (SCs) have a high-power density and a long cycle life, they are promising as an electrochemical conversion and storage device. In order to achieve high electrochemical performance, electrode fabrication must be implemented properly. Electrochemically inactive and insulating binders are utilized in the conventional slurry coating method of making electrodes to provide adhesion between the electrode material and the substrate. This results in an undesirable "dead mass," which lowers the overall device performance. In this review, we focused on binder-free SCs electrodes based on transition metal oxides and composites. With the best examples providing the critical aspects, the benefits of binder-free electrodes over slurry-coated electrodes are addressed. Additionally, different metal-oxides used in the fabrication of binder-free electrodes are assessed, taking into account the various synthesis methods, giving an overall picture of the work done for binder-free electrodes. The future outlook is provided along with the benefits and drawbacks of binder-free electrodes based on transition metal oxides.

Abstract
Electrochemical capacitors are expected to replace conventional electrolytic capacitors in line filtering for integrated circuits and portable electronics1-8. However, practical implementation of electrochemical capacitors into line-filtering circuits has not yet been achieved owing to the difficulty in synergistic accomplishment of fast responses, high specific capacitance, miniaturization and circuit-compatible integration1,4,5,9-12. Here we propose an electric-field enhancement strategy to promote frequency characteristics and capacitance simultaneously. By downscaling the channel width with femtosecond-laser scribing, a miniaturized narrow-channel in-plane electrochemical capacitor shows drastically reduced ionic resistances within both the electrode material and the electrolyte, leading to an ultralow series resistance of 39 mΩ cm2 at 120 Hz. As a consequence, an ultrahigh areal capacitance of up to 5.2 mF cm-2 is achieved with a phase angle of -80° at 120 Hz, twice as large as one of the highest reported previously4,13,14, and little degradation is observed over 1,000,000 cycles. Scalable integration of this electrochemical capacitor into microcircuitry shows a high integration density of 80 cells cm-2 and on-demand customization of capacitance and voltage. In light of excellent filtering performances and circuit compatibility, this work presents an important step of line-filtering electrochemical capacitors towards practical applications in integrated circuits and flexible electronics.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) materials such as MXenes have shown great potential for energy storage applications due to their high surface area and high conductivity. However, their practical implementation is limited by their tendency to restack, similar to other 2D materials, leading to a decreased long-term performance. Here, we present a novel approach to addressing this issue by combining MXene (Ti3C2Tx) nanosheets with branched ionic nanoparticles from polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) using an amphiphilicity-driven assembly for the formation of composite monolayers of nanoparticle-decorated MXene nanosheets at the air-water interface. The amphiphilic hybrid MXene/POSS monolayers allow for the fabrication of organized multilayered films with ionic nanoparticles supporting the nanoscale gap between MXene nanosheets. For these composite multilayers, we observed a 400% enhancement in specific capacitance compared to pure drop-cast MXene films. Furthermore, dramatically enhanced electrochemical cycling stability for ultrathin-film electrodes (<400 nm in thickness) with a 91% capacitance retention over 10,000 cycles has been achieved. Our results suggest that this insertion of 0D ionic nanoparticles with complementary interactions in between 2D MXene nanosheets could be extended to other hybrid 0D-2D nanomaterials, providing a promising pathway for the development of hybrid electrode architectures with enhanced ionic transport for long-term energy cycling and storage, capacitive deionization, and ionic filtration.

Abstract
MXene exhibits impressive characteristics, including flexibility, mechanical robustness, the capacity to cleanse liquids like water through MXene membranes, water-attracting nature, and effectiveness against bacteria. Additionally, bacterial cellulose (BC) exhibits remarkable qualities, including mechanical strength, water absorption, porosity, and biodegradability. The central hypothesis posits that the incorporation of both MXene and bacterial cellulose into the material will result in a remarkable synthesis of the attributes inherent to MXene and BC. In layered MXene/BC coatings, the presence of BC serves to separate the MXene layers and enhance the material's integrity through hydrogen bond interactions. This interaction contributes to achieving a high mechanical strength of this film. Introducing cellulose into one layer of multilayer MXene can increase the interlayer space and more efficient use of MXene. Composite materials utilizing MXene and BC have gained significant traction in sensor electronics due to the heightened sensitivity exhibited by these sensors compared to usual ones. Hydrogel wound healing bandages are also fabricated using composite materials based on MXene/BC. It is worth mentioning that MXene/BC composites are used to store energy in supercapacitors. And finally, MXene/BC-based composites have demonstrated high electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding efficiency.

Abstract
Iron oxides with advanced functional properties show great potential for applications in the fields of water splitting, drug delivery, sensors, batteries and supercapacitors. However, it is challenging to develop a simple and efficient strategy for fabricating patterned iron oxide based electrodes for supercapacitor applications. Herein, a facile, simple, scalable, binder-free, surfactant-free and conductive additive-free electric discharge rusting (EDR) technique is proposed to directly synthesize Fe1-xO oxide layer on a pure iron substrate. This new EDR strategy is successfully adopted to fabricate Fe-Fe1-xO integrative patterned electrodes and coplanar microsupercapacitors (CMSC) in one step. The CMSC devices with different geometries could be directly patterned by EDR, which is automatically controlled by a computer numerical control system. The fabricated Fe-Fe1-xO based 3D 2F-CMSC exhibits a maximum areal specific capacitance of 112.4 mF cm-2. Another important finding is the fabrication of 3D 2F-CMSC devices, which show good capacitive behavior at an ultra high scanning rate of 20 000 mV s-1. The results prove that EDR is a low-cost and versatile strategy for the scalable fabrication of high-performance patterned supercapacitor integrative electrodes and devices. Furthermore, it is a versatile technique which shows a great potential for development of next generation microelectronic devices, such as microbatteries and microsensors.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2023; 19:e2300357. [PMID: 37078837 DOI: 10.1002/smll.202300357] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2023] [Revised: 03/29/2023] [Indexed: 05/03/2023]
Abstract
High energy density micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) are in high demand for miniaturized electronics and microsystems. Research efforts today focus on materials development, applied in the planar interdigitated, symmetric electrode architecture. A novel "cup & core" device architecture that allows for printing of asymmetric devices without the need of accurately positioning the second finger electrode here have been introduced. The bottom electrode is either produced by laser ablation of a blade-coated graphene layer or directly screen-printed with graphene inks to create grids with high aspect ratio walls forming an array of "micro-cups". A quasi-solid-state ionic liquid electrolyte is spray-deposited on the walls; the top electrode material -MXene inks- is then spray-coated to fill the cup structure. The architecture combines the advantages of interdigitated electrodes for facilitated ion-diffusion, which is critical for 2D-material-based energy storage systems by providing vertical interfaces with the layer-by-layer processing of the sandwich geometry. Compared to flat reference devices, volumetric capacitance of printed "micro-cups" MSC increased considerably, while the time constant decreased (by 58%). Importantly, the high energy density (3.99 µWh cm-2 ) of the "micro-cups" MSC is also superior to other reported MXene and graphene-based MSCs.

Abstract
Although inkjet-printing technology has achieved significant development in preparing scalable and adaptable energy storage devices for portable and micro devices, searching for additive-free and environmentally friendly aqueous inks is a significant challenge. Hence, an aqueous MXene/sodium alginate-Fe2+ hybrid ink (denoted as MXene/SA-Fe) with solution processability and suitable viscosity is prepared for direct inkjet printing microsupercapacitors (MSCs). The SA molecules are adsorbed on the surface of MXene nanosheets to construct three-dimensional (3D) structures, thus effectively alleviating the two notorious problems of oxidation and self-restacking of MXene. Concurrently, Fe2+ ions can compress the ineffective macropore volume and make the 3D structure more compact. Moreover, the hydrogen and covalent bonding formed between the MXene nanosheet, SA, and Fe2+ effectively protects the oxidation of MXene and thus increases its stability. Thus, the MXene/SA-Fe ink endows the inkjet-printed MSC electrode with abundant active sites for ion storage and a highly conductive network for electron transfer. As a demonstration, the MXene/SA-Fe ink is used to direct inkjet-printed MSCs with an electrode spacing of 310 μm, which exhibit remarkable capacitances of 123.8 mF cm-2 (@5 mV s-1), good rate capability, an extraordinary energy density of 8.44 μWh cm-2 at a power density of 33.70 μW cm-2, long-term cycling stability of 91.4 % capacitance retention after 10,000 cycles, and surprising mechanical durability with 90.0 % of its initial capacitance retained after 10,000 bending cycles. Therefore, MXene/SA-Fe inks are expected to create various opportunities for printable electronics.

Abstract
Miniaturized energy storage devices with superior performance and compatibility with facile fabrication are highly desired in smart microelectronics. Typical fabrication techniques are generally based on powder printing or active material deposition, which restrict the reaction rate due to the limited optimization of electron transport. Herein, we proposed a new strategy for the construction of high-rate Ni-Zn microbatteries based on a 3D hierarchical porous nickel (Ni) microcathode. With sufficient reaction sites from the hierarchical porous structure as well as excellent electrical conductivity from the superficial Ni-based activated layer, this Ni-based microcathode is featured with fast-reaction capability. By virtue of facile electrochemical treatment, the fabricated microcathode realized an excellent rate performance (over 90% capacity retention when the current density increased from 1 to 20 mA cm-2). Furthermore, the assembled Ni-Zn microbattery achieved a rate current of up to 40 mA cm-2 with a capacity retention of 76.9%. Additionally, the high reactivity of the Ni-Zn microbattery is also durable in 2000 cycles. This 3D hierarchical porous Ni microcathode, as well as the activation strategy, provides a facile route for the construction of microcathodes and enriches high-performance output units for integrated microelectronics.

Abstract
The demand for high-capacity energy storage along with high power output and faster charging has made supercapacitors a key area of energy research. The charge storage capacity of capacitors is largely dependent on the electrode materials utilized. To that end, graphene oxide (GO) and reduced GO (RGO) have been extensively employed for preparing supercapacitors. However, to date, no study has reported utilizing a GO/RGO bilayer electrode material for supercapacitor application. Herein, we report the synthesis of GO/RGO bilayer electrodes on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) conducting substrates with four different combinations, namely, RGO-RGO, RGO-GO, GO-RGO, and GO-GO. Electrochemical capacitance analysis based on a symmetrical electrode configuration revealed that FTO-GO-RGO electrodes had the best areal capacitance performance. However, the highest specific areal capacitance (27.85 mF/cm2) for both symmetric/asymmetric configurations was achieved with FTO-GO-RGO as the anode and FTO-GO-GO as the cathode. The heterogeneous capacitance performance of the GO/RGO bilayer systems was analyzed based on structural characterization and computational simulation methods. Based on our analysis, we identified that inter-/intralayer molecular interaction of the GO/RGO bilayer sheets through the confinement pressure effect might have prompted their unique physicochemical properties. This work highlights the importance of probing multilayer GO/RGO electrode fabrication methods for preparation of high-capacity supercapacitors through fine-tuning their structural and molecular properties.

Abstract
The rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoTs) and proliferation of wearable electronics have significantly stimulated the pursuit of distributed power supply systems that are small and light. Accordingly, micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) have recently attracted tremendous research interest due to their high power density, good energy density, long cycling life, and rapid charge/discharge rate delivered in a limited volume and area. As an emerging class of electrochemical energy storage devices, MSCs using polyaniline (PANI) electrodes are envisaged to bridge the gap between carbonaceous MSCs and micro-batteries, leading to a high power density together with improved energy density. However, despite the intensive development of PANI-based MSCs in the past few decades, a comprehensive review focusing on the chemical properties and synthesis of PANI, working mechanisms, design principles, and electrochemical performances of MSCs is lacking. Thus, herein, we summarize the recent advances in PANI-based MSCs using a wide range of electrode materials. Firstly, the fundamentals of MSCs are outlined including their working principle, device design, fabrication technology, and performance metrics. Then, the working principle and synthesis methods of PANI are discussed. Afterward, MSCs based on various PANI materials including pure PANI, PANI hydrogel, and PANI composites are discussed in detail. Lastly, concluding remarks and perspectives on their future development are presented. This review can present new ideas and give rise to new opportunities for the design of high-performance miniaturized PANI-based MSCs that underpin the sustainable prosperity of the approaching IoTs era.

Abstract
Efficient synthesis of transition metal hydroxides on conductive substrate is essential for enhancing their merits in industrialization of energy storage field. However, most of the synthetic routes at present mainly rely on traditional bottom-up method, which involves tedious steps, time-consuming treatments, or additional alkaline media, and is unfavorable for high-efficiency production. Herein, we present a facile, ultrafast and general avenue to synthesize transition metal hydroxides on carbon substrate within 13 s by Joule-heating method. With high reaction kinetics caused by the instantaneous high temperature, seven kinds of transition metal-layered hydroxides (TM-LDHs) are formed on carbon cloth. Therein, the fastest synthesis rate reaches ~ 0.46 cm2 s-1. Density functional theory calculations further demonstrate the nucleation energy barriers and potential mechanism for the formation of metal-based hydroxides on carbon substrates. This efficient approach avoids the use of extra agents, multiple steps, and long production time and endows the LDHs@carbon cloth with outstanding flexibility and machinability, showing practical advantages in both common and micro-zinc ion-based energy storage devices. To prove its utility, as a cathode in rechargeable aqueous alkaline Zn (micro-) battery, the NiCo LDH@carbon cloth exhibits a high energy density, superior to most transition metal LDH materials reported so far.

Abstract
The rapid development of miniaturized electronic devices has greatly stimulated the endless pursuit of high-performance on-chip micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) delivering both high energy and power densities. To this end, an advanced three-dimensional (3D) microelectrode architecture design offers enormous opportunities due to high mass loading of active materials, large specific surface areas, fast ion diffusion kinetics, and short electron transport pathways. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in the rational design of 3D architectured microelectrodes including 3D dense microelectrodes, 3D nanoporous microelectrodes, and 3D macroporous microelectrodes. Furthermore, the emergent microfabrication strategies are discussed in detail in terms of charge storage mechanisms and structure-performance correlation for on-chip MSCs. Finally, we conclude with a perspective on future opportunities and challenges in this thriving field.

Abstract
Among many electrode materials, cobalt-based nanomaterials are widely used in supercapacitors because of their high natural abundance, good electrical conductivity, and high specific capacitance. However, there are still some difficulties to overcome, including poor structural stability and low power density. This paper summarizes the research progress of cobalt-based nanomaterials (cobalt oxide, cobalt hydroxide, cobalt-containing ternary metal oxides, etc.) as electrode materials for supercapacitors in recent years and discusses the preparation methods and properties of the materials. Notably, the focus of this paper is on the strategies to improve the electrochemical properties of these materials. We show that the performance of cobalt-based nanomaterials can be improved by designing their morphologies and, among the many morphologies, the mesoporous structure plays a major role. This is because mesoporous structures can mitigate volume changes and improve the performance of pseudo capacitance. This review is dedicated to the study of several cobalt-based nanomaterials in supercapacitors, and we hope that future scholars will make new breakthroughs in morphology design.

Abstract
Designing in-plane supercapacitors with high electrode materials selectivity is an indispensable approach to improve electrochemical performance. In this work, a facile template method was employed to fabricate in-plane supercapacitors. This template method could select any electrochemical active materials as electrode materials of in-plane supercapacitors. Hence, a high electrochemical performance material Mn-Co LDO-2S with optimized metal-sulfur bonds proportion and abundant sulfur vacancies was employed as electrode material of symmetrical in-plane supercapacitor (SPS). SPS exhibits excellent electrochemical performance finally, and has considerable area energy density 55.0μWh cm-2with an area power density of 0.7 mW cm-2. As a result, introducing sulfur atoms and sulfur vacancies are efficient approaches to improve electrode materials' electrochemical performance, and template method that proposed in this work is a promising approach to widen selectivity of in-plane supercapacitors' electrode materials.

Abstract
Flexible in-plane architecture micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) are competitive candidates for on-chip miniature energy storage applications owing to their light weight, small size, high flexibility, as well as the advantages of short charging time, high power density, and long cycle life. However, tedious and time-consuming processes are required for the manufacturing of high-resolution interdigital electrodes using conventional approaches. In contrast, the laser processing technique enables high-efficiency high-precision patterning and advanced manufacturing of nanostructured electrodes. In this review, the recent advances in laser manufacturing and patterning of nanostructured electrodes for applications in flexible in-plane MSCs are comprehensively summarized. Various laser processing techniques for the synthesis, modification, and processing of interdigital electrode materials, including laser pyrolysis, reduction, oxidation, growth, activation, sintering, doping, and ablation, are discussed. In particular, some special features and merits of laser processing techniques are highlighted, including the impacts of laser types and parameters on manufacturing electrodes with desired morphologies/structures and their applications on the formation of high-quality nanoshaped graphene, the selective deposition of nanostructured materials, the controllable nanopore etching and heteroatom doping, and the efficient sintering of nanometal products. Finally, the current challenges and prospects associated with the laser processing of in-plane MSCs are also discussed. This review will provide a useful guidance for the advanced manufacturing of nanostructured electrodes in flexible in-plane energy storage devices and beyond.

Abstract
Electrochemistry forms the base of large-scale production of various materials, encompassing numerous applications in metallurgical engineering, chemical engineering, electrical engineering, and material science. This field is important for energy harvesting applications, especially supercapacitors (SCs) and photovoltaic (PV) devices. This review examines various electrochemical techniques employed to fabricate and characterize PV devices and SCs. Fabricating these energy harvesting devices is carried out by electrochemical methods, including electroreduction, electrocoagulation, sol-gel process, hydrothermal growth, spray pyrolysis, template-assisted growth, and electrodeposition. The characterization techniques used are cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, photoelectrochemical characterization, galvanostatic charge-discharge, and I-V curve. A study on different recently reported materials is also presented to analyze their performance in various energy harvesting applications regarding their efficiency, fill factor, power density, and energy density. In addition, a comparative study of electrochemical fabrication techniques with others (including physical vapor deposition, mechanical milling, laser ablation, and centrifugal spinning) has been conducted. The various challenges of electrochemistry in PVs and SCs are also highlighted. This review also emphasizes the future perspectives of electrochemistry in energy harvesting applications.

Abstract
Neural electrodes, as a bridge for bidirectional communication between the body and external devices, are crucial means for detecting and controlling nerve activity. The electrodes play a vital role in monitoring the state of neural systems or influencing it to treat disease or restore functions. To achieve high-resolution, safe and long-term stable nerve recording and stimulation, a neural electrode with excellent electrochemical performance (e.g., impedance, charge storage capacity, charge injection limit), and good biocompatibility and stability is required. Here, the charge transfer process in the tissues, the electrode-tissue interfaces and the electrode materials are discussed respectively. Subsequently, the latest research methods and strategies for improving the electrochemical performance and biocompatibility of neural electrodes are reviewed. Finally, the challenges in the development of neural electrodes are proposed. It is expected that the development of neural electrodes will offer new opportunities for the evolution of neural prosthesis, bioelectronic medicine, brain science, and so on.

Abstract
The construction of electrochemical energy-storage devices by scalable thin-film microfabrication methods with high energy and power density is urgently needed for many emerging applications. Herein, we demonstrate an in-plane hybrid microsupercapacitor with a high areal energy density by employing a battery-type CuFe-Prussian blue analogue (CuFe-PBA) as the positive electrode and pseudocapacitive titanium carbide MXene (Ti3C2Tx) as the negative electrode. A three-dimensional lignin-derived laser-induced graphene electrode was prepared as the substrate by laser exposure combined with an environmentally friendly water lift-off lithography. The designed hybrid device achieved enhanced electrochemical performance thanks to the ideal match of the two types of high-rate performance materials in proton-based electrolytes and the numerous electrochemically active sites. In particular, the device delivers a high areal capacitance of 198 mF cm-2, a wide potential window (1.6 V), an ultrahigh rate performance (75.8 mF cm-2 retained even at a practical/high current density of 100 mA cm-2), and a competitive energy density of 70.5 and 27.6 μWh cm-2 at the power densities 0.74 and 52 mW cm-2, respectively. These results show that the Ti3C2Tx/CuFe-PBA hybrid microsupercapacitors are promising energy storage devices in miniaturized portable and wireless applications.

Abstract
The development of patterning materials ("resists") at the nanoscale involves two distinct trends: one is toward high sensitivity and resolution for miniaturization, the other aims at functionalization of the resists to realize bottom-up construction of distinct nanoarchitectures. Patterning of carbon nanostructures, a seemingly ideal application for organic functional resists, has been highly reliant on complicated pattern transfer processes because of a lack of patternable precursors. Herein, we present a fullerene-metal coordination complex as a fabrication material for direct functional patterning of sub-10 nm metal-containing carbon structures. The attachment of one platinum atom per fullerene molecule not only leads to significant improvement of sensitivity and resolution but also enables stable atomic dispersion of the platinum ions within the carbon matrix, which may gain fundamentally new interest in functional patterning of hierarchical carbon nanostructures.

Abstract
Transition metal nanoparticles-graphene nanocomposites incorporate the advantages of graphene and metal nanoparticles, which arouse extensive attention. Here, we design a novel, facile and versatile method for in-situ synthesis of laser-induced porous graphene (LIG) decorated with cobalt particles (Co). The LIG/Co nanocomposites are fabricated through one-step laser direct scribing on a customized film composed of polyimide (PI) powder, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and cobalt chloride (CoCl2·6H2O) precursors. Benefiting from the unique properties of Co nanoparticles embedded LIG, the obtained optimal in-plane micro-supercapacitors (IMSC) based on LIG/Co-1.5 possesses an excellent areal capacitance of 110.11 mF cm-2 and a superior energy density of 9.79 μWh cm-2, which are about 79 times that of pure LIG-based IMSCs. Simultaneously, the LIG/Co-1.5 MSCs also present good cycling stability, remarkable modular integration capability, and outstanding mechanical flexibility, showing potential for practical applications. Additionally, the density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate that the decorating of cobalt particles elevates electron transfer. Moreover, the interaction between electrolyte and electrodes is also improved with the introduction of cobalt particles. Therefore, this strategy offers a new avenue for facile and large-scale manufacturing of various metallic atoms in-situ decorating in porous graphene.

A Review of Supercapacitors: Materials Design, Modification, and Applications. ENERGIES 2021. [DOI: 10.3390/en14227779] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Supercapacitors (SCs) have received much interest due to their enhanced electrochemical performance, superior cycling life, excellent specific power, and fast charging–discharging rate. The energy density of SCs is comparable to batteries; however, their power density and cyclability are higher by several orders of magnitude relative to batteries, making them a flexible and compromising energy storage alternative, provided a proper design and efficient materials are used. This review emphasizes various types of SCs, such as electrochemical double-layer capacitors, hybrid supercapacitors, and pseudo-supercapacitors. Furthermore, various synthesis strategies, including sol-gel, electro-polymerization, hydrothermal, co-precipitation, chemical vapor deposition, direct coating, vacuum filtration, de-alloying, microwave auxiliary, in situ polymerization, electro-spinning, silar, carbonization, dipping, and drying methods, are discussed. Furthermore, various functionalizations of SC electrode materials are summarized. In addition to their potential applications, brief insights into the recent advances and associated problems are provided, along with conclusions. This review is a noteworthy addition because of its simplicity and conciseness with regard to SCs, which can be helpful for researchers who are not directly involved in electrochemical energy storage.

NANOMATERIALS 2021; 11:nano11112828. [PMID: 34835593 PMCID: PMC8620280 DOI: 10.3390/nano11112828] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2021] [Revised: 10/14/2021] [Accepted: 10/20/2021] [Indexed: 01/23/2023]
Abstract
We report a laser-pyrolyzed carbon (LPC) electrode prepared from a black photoresist for an on-chip microsupercapacitor (MSC). An interdigitated LPC electrode was fabricated by direct laser writing using a high-power carbon dioxide (CO2) laser to simultaneously carbonize and pattern a spin-coated black SU-8 film. Due to the high absorption of carbon blacks in black SU-8, the laser-irradiated SU-8 surface was directly exfoliated and carbonized by a fast photo-thermal reaction. Facile laser pyrolysis of black SU-8 provides a hierarchically macroporous, graphitic carbon structure with fewer defects (ID/IG = 0.19). The experimental conditions of CO2 direct laser writing were optimized to fabricate high-quality LPCs for MSC electrodes with low sheet resistance and good porosity. A typical MSC based on an LPC electrode showed a large areal capacitance of 1.26 mF cm-2 at a scan rate of 5 mV/s, outperforming most MSCs based on thermally pyrolyzed carbon. In addition, the results revealed that the high-resolution electrode pattern in the same footprint as that of the LPC-MSCs significantly affected the rate performance of the MSCs. Consequently, the proposed laser pyrolysis technique using black SU-8 provided simple and facile fabrication of porous, graphitic carbon electrodes for high-performance on-chip MSCs without high-temperature thermal pyrolysis.

Abstract
Benefiting from large tunnel structure, zero strain feature, and excellent pseudocapacitive performance, Ti2Nb10O29 was considered as a potential anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Herein, Ti2Nb10O29 cages comprised of nanorod units were elaborately designed. The mesoscopic structure could effectively shorten the ion diffusion pathway, and the big central electrolyte reservoir relieves the concentration polarization of electrolyte. Moreover, the perforated pore feature guarantees competent contact between electrolyte and framework. As the anode of LIBs, the mesoscopic Ti2Nb10O29 cages deliver high reversible capacity (302.5 mAh/g) and rate capability (134.3 mAh/g at 30 A/g). This unique mesoscopic structure holds excellent potential for the electrode design of high-rate and long-life LIBs.

Abstract
Herein, a series of alpha-Co(OH)2/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) microfilms and film-based nanodevices were developed via a new scalable technique. Due to the unique hexagonal nanoplates of ultrathin alpha-Co(OH)2 and the intrinsically conductive nature of rGO sheets, such thin films not only can improve the conductivity of alpha-Co(OH)2 and prevent the re-stacking of alpha-Co(OH)2 and rGO sheets but also short the transport routes of electrons and ions between the electrode and the electrolyte. The optimized alpha-Co(OH)2/rGO flexible electrode presents high specific capacitance (273.86 mF/cm2 at 0.1 mA/cm2), advanced rate capability, and excellent coulombic efficiency. Simultaneously, in-sandwich symmetric and asymmetric supercapacitors assembled with polyvinyl alcohol-KOH gel as the solid-state electrolyte achieved high areal and volumetric specific capacitances. Furthermore, a self-assembled planar alpha-Co(OH)2/rGO micro-supercapacitor (MSC) delivers high specific area capacitance (130F/cm2 at 0.5 mA/cm2) and excellent energy density (20 mWh/cm3@56 mW/cm3), which are superior to most of the recently reported carbon-based and metal hydroxides/oxides/sulfides-based planar MSCs. Also, our planar MSC shows excellent cycling performance, good flexibility, and mechanical stability. This work promotes the syntheses of other two-dimensional metal hydroxides/rGO composite film for high-performance flexible micro-electronics.
