Abstract
Flexible electronic products, with their characteristics of flexibility and wearability, have attracted significant attention and have become an important direction in the research and development of the electronics industry. Planar micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) with flexible composite electrodes can provide reliable energy support for these products, propelling their further development. The research employed a quick, effective, and environmentally friendly method of laser scribing to create shape-controllable flexible composite electrodes on composite films of Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) and graphene oxide (PEDOT/GO), which were subsequently assembled into MSCs. An analysis of the composite electrode morphology, structure, and elemental distribution was conducted through the utilization of SEM, TEM, and XPS techniques. Following this, a comprehensive evaluation of the electrochemical performance of the flexible MSCs was carried out, which included cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge/discharge (GCD), and assessment of cyclic stability. The analysis of the CV results indicated that the MSCs achieved the areal capacitance of 5.78 mF/cm2 at 5 mV/s. After 5000 cycles at a current density of 0.05 mA/cm2, the capacitance retention rate was 85.4%. The high areal capacitance and strong cycle stability of MSCs highlight the potential of PEDOT/reduced graphene oxide (PEDOT/rGO) electrodes in electrode applications.

Abstract
Polybenzopyrrole (Pbp) is an emerging candidate for electrochemical energy conversion and storage. There is a need to develop synthesis strategies for this class of polymers that can help improve its overall properties and make it as suitable for energy storage applications as other well-studied polymers in this substance class, such as polyaniline and polypyrrole. In this study, by synthesizing Pbp in surfactant-supported acidic medium, we were able to show that the physicochemical and electrochemical properties of Pbp-based electrodes are strongly influenced by the respective polymerization conditions. Through appropriate optimization of various reaction parameters, a significant enhancement of the thermal stability (up to 549.9 °C) and the electrochemical properties could be achieved. A maximum specific capacitance of 166.0 ± 2.0 F g−1 with an excellent cycle stability of 87% after 5000 cycles at a current density of 1 A g−1 was achieved. In addition, a particularly high-power density of 2.75 kW kg−1 was obtained for this polybenzopyrrole, having a gravimetric energy density of 17 Wh kg−1. The results show that polybenzopyrroles are suitable candidates to compete with other conducting polymers as electrode materials for next-generation Faradaic supercapacitors. In addition, the results of the current study can also be easily applied to other systems and used for adaptations or new syntheses of advanced hybrid/composite Pbp-based electrode materials.

Achieving Enhanced Capacitive Deionization by Interfacial Coupling in PEDOT Reinforced Cobalt Hexacyanoferrate Nanoflake Arrays. GLOBAL CHALLENGES (HOBOKEN, NJ) 2021; 5:2000128. [PMID: 34377532 PMCID: PMC8335821 DOI: 10.1002/gch2.202000128] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2020] [Revised: 03/22/2021] [Indexed: 05/12/2023]
Abstract
Capacitive deionization (CDI) as a novel energy and cost-efficient water treatment technology has attracted increasing attention. The recent development of various faradaic electrode materials has greatly enhanced the performance of CDI as compared with traditional carbon electrodes. Prussian blue (PB) has emerged as a promising CDI electrode material due to its open framework for the rapid intercalation/de-intercalation of sodium ions. However, the desalination efficiency, and durability of previously reported PB-based materials are still unsatisfactory. Herein, a self-template strategy is employed to prepare a Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) reinforced cobalt hexacyanoferrate nanoflakes anchored on carbon cloth (denoted as CoHCF@PEDOT). With the high conductivity and structural stability achieved by coupling with a thin PEDOT layer, the as-prepared CoHCF@PEDOT electrode exhibits a high capacity of 126.7 mAh g-1 at 125 mA g-1. The fabricated hybrid CDI cell delivers a high desalination capacity of 146.2 mg g-1 at 100 mA g-1, and good cycling stability. This strategy provides an efficient method for the design of high-performance faradaic electrode materials in CDI applications.

Abstract
Indole molecules with fused heteroaromatic structures can be adsorbed on the N-doped graphene surface through the π-π interaction. Therefore, the indole-functionalized N-doped graphene (InFGN) with mesopores is successfully fabricated by a simple hydrothermal method and subsequent vacuum freeze-drying process. The microstructure, thickness, element composition, pore structure, and electrochemical performance of InFGN are analyzed via SEM, TEM, AFM, BET, UV-vis, FT-IR, XPS, Raman, XRD, and electrochemical technologies. Since the five-membered aromatic heterocycles are electron-rich, the indole molecules fixed on the N-doped graphene surface can repair the structural defects generated by N doping. Electrochemical measurements show that the InFGN electrode highlights an excellent capacitance of 622.3 F g-1 at 2 A g-1 and a durable cycling life of 100.5% after 5000 charging/discharging cycle times. For further practical application, a symmetric device has been assembled by using InFGN electrodes, which realizes high-power and energy densities (18.8-20.6 Wh kg-1 at 800-8000 W kg-1). This study provides a shortcut for building green supercapacitors with enhanced energy storage performance.
