Electrodeposition of the MnO 2 on the Ag/Au Core-Shell Nanowire and Its Application to the Flexible Supercapacitor. MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14143934. [PMID: 34300853 PMCID: PMC8303347 DOI: 10.3390/ma14143934] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2021] [Revised: 07/08/2021] [Accepted: 07/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Supercapacitors have received considerable attention as energy storage devices owing to their high power density, fast charge/discharge rate, and long cyclic life. Especially with an increasing demand for flexible and wearable devices, research on flexible supercapacitors has surged in recent years. The silver nanowire (Ag NW) network has been used as a flexible electrode owing to its excellent mechanical and electrical properties; however, its use as an electrode for flexible supercapacitors has been limited due to insufficient electrochemical stability. In this study, we proposed a method to resolve this issue. We employed a solution process that enabled the coating of the surface of Ag NW by a thin Au shell of ≈ 5 nm thickness, which significantly improved the electrochemical stability of the Ag NW network electrodes. Furthermore, we confirmed for the first time that MnO2, which is one of the most widely used capacitive materials, can be directly electroplated on the AACS NW network electrode. Finally, we fabricated a high-performance and flexible solid-state supercapacitor using the suggested Ag/Au/MnO2 core–shell NW network electrodes.

[PMID: 36659120 DOI: 10.1016/j.scib.2020.06.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2020] [Revised: 05/25/2020] [Accepted: 06/05/2020] [Indexed: 01/21/2023]
Abstract
The flexible transparent supercapacitors have been considered as one of the key energy-storage components to power the smart portable electronic devices. However, it is still a challenge to explore flexible transparent capacitive electrodes with high rate capability. Herein, conductive Ni3(HITP)2 (HITP = 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexaiminotriphenylene) thin films are adopted as capacitive electrodes in flexible transparent supercapacitors. The Ni3(HITP)2 electrode possesses the excellent optoelectronic property with optical transmittance (T) of 78.4% and sheet resistance (Rs) of 51.3 Ω sq-1, remarkable areal capacitance (CA) of 1.63 mF cm-2 and highest scan rate up to 5000 mV s-1. The asymmetric Ni3(HITP)2//PEDOT:PSS supercapacitor (T = 61%) yields a high CA of 1.06 mF cm-2 at 3 μA cm-2, which maintains 77.4% as the current density increases by 50 folds. The remarkable rate capability is ascribed to the collaborative advantages of low diffusion resistance and high ion accessibility, resulting from the intrinsic conductivity, short oriented pores and large specific areas of Ni3(HITP)2 films.

Abstract
Flexible and transparent energy storage devices (FTESDs) have recently attracted much attention for use in wearable and portable electronics. Herein, we developed an Ag nanowire (NW) @Bi/Al nanostructure as a transparent negative electrode for FTESDs. In the core-shell nanoarchitecture, the Ag NW percolation network with excellent conductivity contributes superior electron transport pathways, while the unique nanostructure provides an effective interface contact between the current collector and electroactive material. As a result, the electrode delivers a high capacity of 12.36 mF cm-2 (3.43 μA h cm-2) at 0.2 mA cm-2. With a minor addition of Al, the coulombic efficiency of the electrode remarkably increases from 65.1% to 83.9% and the capacity retention rate improves from 53.8% to 91.9% after 2000 cycles. Moreover, a maximum energy density of 319.5 μW h cm-2 and a power density of 27.5 mW cm-2 were realized by an interdigital structured device with a transmittance of 58% and a potential window of 1.6 V. This work provides a new negative electrode material for high-performance FTESDs in the next-generation integrated electronics market.

Understanding of the Mechanism for Laser Ablation-Assisted Patterning of Graphene/ITO Double Layers: Role of Effective Thermal Energy Transfer. MICROMACHINES 2020; 11:mi11090821.

Abstract
Demand for the fabrication of high-performance, transparent electronic devices with improved electronic and mechanical properties is significantly increasing for various applications. In this context, it is essential to develop highly transparent and conductive electrodes for the realization of such devices. To this end, in this work, a chemical vapor deposition (CVD)-grown graphene was transferred to both glass and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates that had been pre-coated with an indium tin oxide (ITO) layer and then subsequently patterned by using a laser-ablation method for a low-cost, simple, and high-throughput process. A comparison of the results of the laser ablation of such a graphene/ITO double layer with those of the ITO single-layered films reveals that a larger amount of effective thermal energy of the laser used is transferred in the lateral direction along the graphene upper layer in the graphene/ITO double-layered structure, attributable to the high thermal conductivity of graphene. The transferred thermal energy is expected to melt and evaporate the lower ITO layer at a relatively lower threshold energy of laser ablation. The transient analysis of the temperature profiles indicates that the graphene layers can act as both an effective thermal diffuser and converter for the planar heat transfer. Raman spectroscopy was used to investigate the graphite peak on the ITO layer where the graphene upper layer was selectively removed because of the incomplete heating and removal process for the ITO layer by the laterally transferred effective thermal energy of the laser beam. Our approach could have broad implications for designing highly transparent and conductive electrodes as well as a new way of nanoscale patterning for other optoelectronic-device applications using laser-ablation methods.

Abstract
Transparent polymer electrolytes such as poly(vinyl alcohol)-based H+, Li+, K+, and Na+ gels have been widely used as both an electrolyte and a separator for flexible transparent supercapacitors (FTSCs). However, these gels sandwiched between the electrodes in FTSCs are easily compressed under bending and compression due to their viscous flow behavior, resulting in the deformation of electrode spacing and the unstable capacitance performance. To resolve this issue, herein, we introduce monodispersed polystyrene (PS) microspheres into PVA-LiCl polymer gel electrolytes as spacers to precisely control the electrode spacing during the assembly of FTSCs using single-walled carbon nanotubes/indium tin oxide-polyethylene terephthalate (ITO-PET) or MnO2/multiwalled carbon nanotubes/ITO-PET as transparent electrodes. The electrode spacing could be tuned by varying the diameter of PS microspheres, for example, 20, 40, and 80 μm. More importantly, the PS microsphere spacers protect the gel electrolyte from the squeeze when bending takes place, allowing the stable performance output by FTSCs under a bending state. After repeating bending tests, the capacitance remains 95.6%, indicating the high stability and flexibility of the devices with the assistance of PS microsphere spacers.

Abstract
Transparent and flexible supercapacitors (TFSCs) could diversify the future wearable electronics owing to the fascinating optoelectronic and electrochemical performances. Herein, we report symmetric TFSCs assembled by reduced graphene oxide (rGO)@Ag nanowire/poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) transparent electrodes for capacitive storage, in which the interfacial structure of rGO film can be tuned by a facile freeze drying technique. The enlarged interlayer spacing of rGO film deteriorated the electronic migration derived from the loose layer structure, whereas about 33-52% of the areal capacitance of TFSCs was boosted as compared with the ones without freeze drying at the same transmittance. It is concluded that the enlarged inter-distance of rGO film could facilitate diffusion and transport of ions in the electrolyte, furthermore, the expanded rGO film could provide more interface to accommodate more ions for storage. The simulation results also confirmed the lower diffusion barrier and larger band gap of rGO with larger interlayer distance. The mechanically robust TFSCs exhibit the maximum energy density of 89.2 nWh cm-2, and the maximum power density of 4.63 μW cm-2 with remaining energy density of 41.1 nWh cm-2, as well as 3000 cyclic stability, demonstrating an efficient strategy toward high performance TFSCs.
