Abstract
Although flexible double layer capacitors based on hydrogels overcome the drawbacks of commercial double layer capacitors such as low safety and non-deformability, it is still considered as attractive challenges to achieve high conductivity for hydrogel electrolytes as well as high operating voltages for hydrogel flexible supercapacitors. In this paper, ion migration channels were engineered by immobilizing positive and negative charges on polymer skeleton and dispersing cellulose nanofibers in the polymerized polyelectrolyte network, providing ultra-high ionic conductivity (103 mS cm-1). In addition, K3[Fe(CN)6] was introduced through a soaking method, leading to redox reactions on the surface of carbon electrode during charging and discharging, supporting a relatively wide voltage window (1.8 V). Moreover, the specific capacitance at high current remained 55 % of the specific capacitance at low current, indicating excellent rate performance. In addition, the device displayed high cycling stability (80.05 % after 10,000 cycles). Notably, we successfully light up the red LED with only one device. Accordingly, this work provides a feasible design concept for the development of cellulose nanofibers (CNF) hydrogel-based solid-state electrolyte with high conductivity for flexible supercapacitors with wide potential window and high energy density.

Abstract
Electrochemical energy storage (EES) systems are attracting research attention as an alternative to fossil fuels. Advances in the design and composition of energy storage materials are particularly significant. Biomass waste-derived porous carbons are particularly suitable for use in EES systems as they are capable of tuning pore networks from hierarchical porous structures with high specific surface areas. These materials are also more sustainable and environmentally friendly and less toxic and corrosive than other energy storage materials. In this study, we report the creation of a three-dimensional hierarchical porous carbon material derived from betelnut shells. The synthesized three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical porous carbon electrode showed a specific capacitance of 290 F g-1 using 1 M KOH as an electrolyte at a current density of 1 A g-1 in three-electrode systems. Moreover, it offered a high charge/discharge stability of 94% over 5000 charge-discharge cycles at a current density of 5 A g-1. Two-electrode symmetric systems show a specific capacitance of 148 F g-1, good cyclic stability of 90. 8% for 5000 charge-discharge cycles, and high energy density of 41 Wh Kg-1 at the power density of 483 W Kg-1 in aqueous electrolyte.
