Abstract
Ultra-thin 2D materials have great potential as electrodes for micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) because of their facile ion transport channels. Here, a high-precision controllable photonic-synthesis strategy that provided 1 inch wafer-scale ultra-thin film arrays of alloyed WxMo2xSy with sulfur vacancies and expanded interlayer (13.2 Å, twice of 2H MoS2) is reported. This strategy regulates the nucleation and growth of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) on the picosecond or even femtosecond scale, which induces Mo-W alloying, interlayer expansion, and sulfur loss. Therefore, the diffusion barrier of WxMo2xSy is reduced, with charge transfer and ion diffusion enhancing. The as-prepared symmetric MSCs with the size of 100 × 100 µm2 achieve ultrahigh specific capacitance (242.57 mF cm-2 and 242567.83 F cm-3), and energy density (21.56 Wh cm-3 with power density of 485.13 W cm3). The established synthesis strategy fits numerous materials, which provides a universal method for the flexible synthesis of electrodes in microenergy devices.

ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2024; 36:e2401271. [PMID: 38549262 DOI: 10.1002/adma.202401271] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2024] [Revised: 03/13/2024] [Indexed: 04/06/2024]
Abstract
The advancement of aqueous micro-supercapacitors offers an enticing prospect for a broad spectrum of applications, spanning from wearable electronics to micro-robotics and sensors. Unfortunately, conventional micro-supercapacitors are characterized by low capacity and slopy voltage profiles, limiting their energy density capabilities. To enhance the performance of these devices, the use of 2D MXene-based compounds has recently been proposed. Apart from their capacitive contributions, these structures can be loaded with redox-active nanowires which increase their energy density and stabilize their operation voltage. However, introducing rigid nanowires into MXene films typically leads to a significant decline in their mechanical properties, particularly in terms of flexibility. To overcome this issue, super stretchable micro-pseudocapacitor electrodes composed of MXene nanosheets and in situ reconstructed Ag nanoparticles (Ag-NP-MXene) are herein demonstrated, delivering high energy density, stable operation voltage of ≈1 V, and fast charging capabilities. Careful experimental analysis and theoretical simulations of the charging mechanism of the Ag-NP-MXene electrodes reveal a dual nature charge storage mechanism involving ad(de)sorption of ions and conversion reaction of Ag nanoparticles. The superior mechanical properties of synthesized films obtained through in situ construction of Ag-NP-MXene structure show an ultra stretchability, allowing the devices to provide stable voltage and energy output even at 100% elongation.

Abstract
The high surface-area-to-volume ratio of colloidal quantum dots (QDs) positions them as promising materials for high-performance supercapacitor electrodes. However, the challenge lies in achieving a highly accessible surface area, while maintaining good electrical conductivity. An efficient supercapacitor demands a dense yet highly porous structure that facilitates efficient ion-surface interactions and supports fast charge mobility. Here we demonstrate the successful development of additive-free ultrahigh energy density electric double-layer capacitors based on quantum dot hierarchical nanopore (QDHN) structures. Lead sulfide QDs are assembled into QDHN structures that strike a balance between electrical conductivity and efficient ion diffusion by employing meticulous control over inter-QD distances without any additives. Using ionic liquid as the electrolyte, the high-voltage ultrathin-film microsupercapacitors achieve a remarkable combination of volumetric energy density (95.6 mWh cm-3) and power density (13.5 W cm-3). This achievement is attributed to the intrinsic capability of QDHN structures to accumulate charge carriers efficiently. These findings introduce innovative concepts for leveraging colloidal nanomaterials in the advancement of high-performance energy storage devices.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) MXene nanomaterials display great potential for green energy storage. However, as a result of self-stacking of MXene nanosheets and the presence of conventional binders, MXene-based nanomaterials are significantly hindered in their rate capability and cycling stability. We successfully constructed a self-supported stereo-structured composite (TMA-V2CTx/CoV-LDH/NF) by in-situ growing 2D cobalt vanadium layered double hydroxide (CoV-LDH) vertically on 2D few-layered V2CTx MXene nanosheets and interconnecting it with Ni foam (NF) with a self-supported structure to act as a binder-free electrode. In addition to inhibiting CoV-LDH aggregation, the highly conductive V2CTx MXene and CoV-LDH work synergistically to improve charge storage. The specific capacitance of the TMA-V2CTx/CoV-LDH/NF electrode is 2374 F/g (1187 C/g) at 1 A/g. At the same time, the TMA-V2CTx/CoV-LDH/NF exhibits excellent stability, retaining 85.3 % of its specific capacitance at 20 A/g after 10,000 cycles. In addition, the hybrid supercapacitor (HSC) is assembled based on positive electrode (TMA-V2CTx/CoV-LDH/NF) and negative electrode (AC), achieving the maximum energy density of 74.4 Wh kg-1 at 750.3 W kg-1. TMA-V2CTx/CoV-LDH/NF has potential as an electrode material for storing green energy. The research strategy provides a development prospect for the construction of novel V2CTx MXene-based electrode material with self-supported structures.

Abstract
Clever and rational design of structural hierarchy, along with precise component adjustment, holds profound significance for the construction of high-performance supercapacitor electrode materials. In this study, a binder-free self-supported CCO@N0.5 C0.5 OH/NF cathode material is constructed with hierarchical hetero-core-shell honeycomb nanostructure by first growing CuCo2 O4 (CCO) nanopin arrays uniformly on highly conductive nickel foam (NF) substrate, and then anchoring Ni0.5 Co0.5 (OH)2 (N0.5 C0.5 OH) bimetallic hydroxide nanosheet arrays on the CCO nanopin arrays by adjusting the molar ratio of Ni(OH)2 and Co(OH)2 . The constructed CCO@N0.5 C0.5 OH/NF electrode material showcases a wealth of multivalent metal ions and mesopores, along with good electrical conductivity, excellent electrochemical reaction rates, and robust long-term performance (capacitance retention rate of 87.2%). The CCO@N0.5 C0.5 OH/NF electrode, benefiting from the hierarchical structure of the material and the exceptional synergy between multiple components, demonstrates an excellent specific capacitance (2553.6 F g-1 at 1 A g-1 ). Furthermore, the assembled asymmetric CCO@N0.5 C0.5 OH/NF//AC/NF supercapacitor demonstrates a high energy density (70.1 Wh kg-1 at 850 W kg-1 ), and maintains robust capacitance cycling stability performance (83.7%) after undergoing 10 000 successive charges and discharges. It is noteworthy that the assembled supercapacitor exhibits an operating voltage (1.7 V) that is well above the theoretical value (1.5 V).

Abstract
To facilitate the transition of laboratory research to industrial applications, it is critical to establish a reliable protocol for the mass synthesis of high-quality graphene. Here, we present an efficient electrochemical intercalation-based exfoliation approach utilizing alternating current that allows for the production of sub-kilogram quantities of graphene. This strategy involves repeatedly intercalating foreign anions and cations into the interlayer gaps of dual-graphite electrodes, accelerating the graphite expansion process and maximizing the exfoliation efficiency of both electrodes while inhibiting excessive anodic oxidation. The exfoliation process leads to high-yield graphene nanosheets (92 %, primarily 1-3 layers) with minimal structural deterioration (ID/IG ratio of 0.05), high purity (2.1 at% oxygen), and outstanding electrical property (7.28 × 104 S m-1). Notably, our scaled-up manufacturing technique produces a record-breaking throughput of 135 g h-1, improving on the best-reported exfoliation efficiency with direct current by 35%. Furthermore, the as-made graphene demonstrates a large reversible capacity of 102 mF cm-2 for flexible supercapacitors, with robust cyclability with 99.5% after 10,000 cycles, excellent mechanical flexibility, and exceptional serial integration for adjustable voltage output. The efficient and scalable method presents a significant advancement in the large-scale manufacture of graphene, with potential for widespread industrial applications.

Abstract
A novel and hierarchical porous but cross-linked copper-doped biomass graphene (Cu@HPBG) combined with Nb2O5 (denoted as Nb2O5/Cu@HPBG) is successfully fabricated on a large-scale using fig peels as biomass carbon and copper as the graphitization catalyst. During the synthesis process, basic copper carbonate serves dual functions of pore-forming agent, as well as homogeneous copper provider, and NH3 is employed as a defect-forming agent and N dopant. Owing to the porous hierarchical structure increased availability of contact interface and pseudo capacitance active sites provided by copper and Nb2O5, the assembled asymmetrical supercapacitor (ASC) employing Nb2O5/Cu@HPBG as positive electrode and HPBG as negative electrode can not only widen the stability window range of 0~1.9 V, but also deliver a maximum gravimetric energy density of 82.8 W h kg-1 at the power density of 950.0 W kg-1 and maintain a remarkable cycling stability of 97.1% after 15,000 cycles. Impressively, due to the synergistic enhancement of Cu@HPBG and Nb2O5, the resulting Nb2O5/Cu@HPBG hybrid displays more positive half wave potential (∼0.85 V) and a long-life stability than Pt/C electrode toward oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Our research provides a feasible strategy to fabricate renewable biomass graphene electroactive composites for large-scale supercapacitor electrodes and efficient ORR catalysts toward energy applications.

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
Heterostructures based on different materials can not only take full advantage of each material and overcome their limitations but also produce special effects for different applications. Here, a facile co-thermal decomposition strategy to engineer hierarchical 3D porous Ti3C2Tx/MoS2 heterostructure is presented for improved energy storage performance. The specific Ti3C2Tx/MoS2 heterostructure promotes the fast transportation of electrons and ions and fast redox reaction kinetics due to the 3D interconnected porous channels and thin exposed electroactive S-Mo-S edges. As a result, the 3D porous Ti3C2Tx/MoS2 heterostructure exhibits a specific capacitance of 439 F g-1 at a scan rate of 5 mV s-1, a satisfactory capacitance of 169 F g-1 (about 30 % of initial capacitance) under an ultra-high scan rate of 10,000 mV s-1 and long cycle stability. Moreover, ultrahigh power energy of 30,000 W kg-1 with a high energy density of 6.3 Wh kg-1 with superior cyclic stability (91 % of initial capacitance after 10,000 cycles) has been achieved from the Ti3C2Tx/MoS2-based symmetric supercapacitor. This work provides an archetype for designing and preparing hierarchical 3D porous heterostructure electrodes for the next-generation supercapacitor with the high power density and rate performances.

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
2D materials have captured much recent research interest in a broad range of areas, including electronics, biology, sensors, energy storage, and others. In particular, preparing 2D nanosheets with high quality and high yield is crucial for the important applications in energy storage and conversion. Compared with other prevailing synthetic strategies, the electrochemical exfoliation of layered starting materials is regarded as one of the most promising and convenient methods for the large-scale production of uniform 2D nanosheets. Here, recent developments in electrochemical delamination are reviewed, including protocols, categories, principles, and operating conditions. State-of-the-art methods for obtaining 2D materials with small numbers of layers-including graphene, black phosphorene, transition metal dichalcogenides and MXene-are also summarized and discussed in detail. The applications of electrochemically exfoliated 2D materials in energy storage and conversion are systematically reviewed. Drawing upon current progress, perspectives on emerging trends, existing challenges, and future research directions of electrochemical delamination are also offered.

Abstract
With the development and popularity of portable electronic devices, there is an urgent need for flexible energy storage devices suitable for mass production. We report freestanding paper electrodes for supercapacitors fabricated via a simple but efficient two-step method. Nitrogen-doped graphene (N-rGO) was first prepared via a hydrothermal method. This not only obtained nitrogen atom-doped nanoparticles but also formed reduced graphene oxide. Pyrrole (Py) was then deposited on the bacterial cellulose (BC) fibers as a polypyrrole (PPy) pseudo-capacitance conductive layer by in situ polymerization and filtered with nitrogen-doped graphene to prepare a self-standing flexible paper electrode with a controllable thickness. The synthesized BC/PPy/N15-rGO paper electrode has a remarkable mass specific capacitance of 441.9 F g-1, a long cycle life (96 % retention after 3000 cycles), and excellent rate performance. The BC/PPy/N15-rGO-based symmetric supercapacitor shows a high volumetric specific capacitance of 244 F cm-3 and a max energy density of 67.9 mWh cm-3 with a power density of 1.48 W cm-3, suggesting that they will be promising materials for flexible supercapacitors.

Abstract
Although Zn-Ni/air hybrid batteries exhibit improved energy efficiency, power density, and stability compared with Zn-air batteries, they still cannot satisfy the high requirements of commercialization. Herein, the Cu+/Cu2+ redox pair generated from a copper collector has been introduced to construct the hybrid battery system by combining Zn-air and Zn-Cu/Zn-Ni, in which CuXO@NiFe-LDH and Co-N-C dodecahedrons are respectively adopted as oxygen evolution (OER) and oxygen reduction (ORR) electrodes. For fabricating CuXO@NiFe-LDH, the Cu foam collector is oxidized to in situ form 1D CuXO nanoneedle arrays, which could generate the Cu+/Cu2+ redox pair to enhance battery efficiency by providing an extra charging-discharging voltage plateau to reduce the charging voltage and increase the discharge voltage. Then, the 2D NiFe hydrotalcite nanosheets grow on the nanoneedle arrays to obtain 3D interdigital structures, facilitating the intimate contact of the ORR/OER electrode and electrolyte by providing a multichannel structure. Thus, the battery system could endow a high energy efficiency (79.6% at 10 mA cm-2), an outstanding energy density (940 Wh kg-1), and an ultralong lifetime (500 h). Significantly, it could stably operate under harsh environments, such as oxygen-free and any humidity. In situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) combined with ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses demonstrate the reversible process of Cu-O-Cu ↔ Cu-O and Ni-O ↔ Ni-O-O-H during the charging/discharging, which are responsible for the enhanced efficiency and lifetime of battery.

Abstract
Laser irradiation of polymeric materials has drawn great attention as a fast, simple, and cost-effective method for the formation of porous graphene films that can be subsequently fabricated into low-cost and flexible electronic and energy-storage devices. In this work, we report a systematic study of the formation of laser-induced graphene (LIG) with sheet resistances as low as 9.4 Ω/sq on parylene-C ultrathin membranes under a CO2 infrared laser. Raman analysis proved the formation of the multilayered graphenic material, with ID/IG and I2D/IG peak ratios of 0.42 and 0.65, respectively. As a proof of concept, parylene-C LIG was used as the electrode material for the fabrication of ultrathin, solid-state microsupercapacitors (MSCs) via a one-step, scalable, and cost-effective approach, aiming at future flexible and wearable applications. The produced LIG-MSC on parylene-C exhibited good electrochemical behavior, with a specific capacitance of 1.66 mF/cm2 and an excellent cycling stability of 96% after 10 000 cycles (0.5 mA/cm2). This work allows one to further extend the knowledge in LIG processes, widening the group of precursor materials as well as promoting future applications. Furthermore, it reinforces the potential of parylene-C as a key material for next-generation biocompatible and flexible electronic devices.
