Abstract
MXenes have shown great potential for micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) due to the high metallic conductivity, tunable interlayer spacing and intercalation pseudocapacitance. In particular, the negative surface charge and high hydrophilicity of MXenes make them suitable for various solution processing strategies. Nevertheless, a comprehensive review of solution processing of MXene MSCs has not been conducted. In this review, we present a comprehensive summary of the state-of-the-art of MXene MSCs in terms of ink rheology, microelectrode design and integrated system. The ink formulation and rheological behavior of MXenes for different solution processing strategies, which are essential for high quality printed/coated films, are presented. The effects of MXene and its compounds, 3D electrode structure, and asymmetric design on the electrochemical properties of MXene MSCs are discussed in detail. Equally important, we summarize the integrated system and intelligent applications of MXene MSCs and present the current challenges and prospects for the development of high-performance MXene MSCs.

Abstract
MXene nanosheets are believed to be an ideal candidate for fabricating fiber supercapacitors (FSCs) due to their metallic conductivity and superior volumetric capacitance, while challenges remain in continuously collecting bare MXene fibers (MFs) via the commonly used wet-spinning technique due to the intercalation of water molecules and a weak interaction between Ti3 C2 TX nanosheets in aqueous coagulation bath that ultimately leads to a loosely packed structure. To address this issue, for the first time, a dry-spinning strategy is proposed by engineering the rheological behavior of Ti3 C2 TX sediment and extruding the highly viscose stock directly through a spinneret followed by a solvent evaperation induced solidification. The dry-spun Ti3 C2 TX fibers show an optimal conductivity of 2295 S cm-1 , a tensile strength of 64 MPa and a specific capacitance of 948 F cm-3 . Nitrogen (N) doping further improves the capacitance of MFs to 1302 F cm-3 without compromising their mechanical and electrical properties. Moreover, the FSC based on N-doped MFs exhibits a high volumetric capacitance of 293 F cm-3 , good stability over 10 000 cycles, excellent flexibility upon bending-unbending, superior energy/power densities and anti-self-discharging property. The excellent electrochemical and mechanical properties endow the dry-spun MFs great potential for future applications in wearable electronics.

Abstract
Future wearable electronics and smart textiles face a major challenge in the development of energy storage devices that are high-performing while still being flexible, lightweight, and safe. Fiber supercapacitors are one of the most promising energy storage technologies for such applications due to their excellent electrochemical characteristics and mechanical flexibility. Over the past decade, researchers have put in tremendous effort and made significant progress on fiber supercapacitors. It is now the time to assess the outcomes to ensure that this kind of energy storage device will be practical for future wearable electronics and smart textiles. While the materials, fabrication methods, and energy storage performance of fiber supercapacitors have been summarized and evaluated in many previous publications, this review paper focuses on two practical questions: Are the reported devices providing sufficient energy and power densities to wearable electronics? Are the reported devices flexible and durable enough to be integrated into smart textiles? To answer the first question, we not only review the electrochemical performance of the reported fiber supercapacitors but also compare them to the power needs of a variety of commercial electronics. To answer the second question, we review the general approaches to assess the flexibility of wearable textiles and suggest standard methods to evaluate the mechanical flexibility and stability of fiber supercapacitors for future studies. Lastly, this article summarizes the challenges for the practical application of fiber supercapacitors and proposes possible solutions.

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
Black phosphorus (BP) has been demonstrated as a promising electrode material for supercapacitors. Currently, the main limitation of its practical application is the low electrical conductivity and poor structure stability. Hence, BP-based supercapacitors usually severely suffer from low capacitance and poor cycling stability. Herein, a chemically bridged BP/conductive g-C3N4 (BP/c-C3N4) hybrid is developed via a facile ball-milling method. Covalent P-C bonds are generated through the ball-milling process, effectively preventing the structural distortion of BP induced by ion transport and diffusion. In addition, the overall electrical conductivity is significantly enhanced owing to the sufficient coupling between BP and highly conductive c-C3N4. Moreover, the imbalanced charge distribution around the C atom can induce the generation of a local electric field, facilitating the charge transfer behavior of the electrode material. As a result, the BP/c-C3N4-20:1 flexible supercapacitor (FSC) exhibits an outstanding volumetric capacitance of 42.1 F/cm3 at 0.005 V/s, a high energy density of 5.85 mW h/cm3, and a maximum power density of 15.4 W/cm3. More importantly, the device delivers excellent cycling stability with no capacitive loss after 30,000 cycles.

Abstract
Solid-state supercapacitors have shown extraordinary promise for flexible and wearable electronics. To date, they are still limited by relatively poor energy volumetric performances, which are largely determined by the pore structures and physicochemical properties of electrode materials. Moreover, the poor mechanical properties afforded because of the intrinsic shortcomings of electrode materials need to be resolved. Herein, we designed a flexible and solid-state yarn electrode with high porosity and high affinity toward electrolytes using poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) and Korean heritage paper (KHP). To maximize the volumetric capacitive energy storage, PEDOT-loaded conductive KHP sheets (two-dimensional) were transformed into a biscrolled yarn (one-dimensional) via simple twisting. The volumetric capacitance of the biscrolled yarn supercapacitors with 1 mm cell diameter exhibited a volumetric specific capacitance of ∼6576 mF/cm3 at a scan rate of 25 mV/s, which is attributable to the high mass loading of PEDOT as a conductive support and increased packing density. Moreover, multiple optimized yarn supercapacitors can be connected to yield a total length of 1 m, demonstrating enormous potential as a portable and wearable power supply for operating smartwatches.

Abstract
Smart wearable technologies are augmenting human bodies beyond our biological capabilities in communication, healthcare and recreation. Energy supply and information acquisition are essential for wearable electronics, whereas the increasing demands in multifunction are raising the requirements for energy and sensor devices. The triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG), proven to be able to convert various mechanical energies into electricity, can fulfill either of these two functions and therefore has drawn extensive attention and research efforts worldwide. The everyday life of a human body produces considerable mechanical energies and, in the meantime, the human body communicates mainly through mechanical signals, such as sound, body gestures and muscle movements. Therefore, the TENG has been intensively studied to serve as either wearable sources or wearable self-powered sensors. Herein, the recent finding on the fundamental understanding of TENGs is revisited briefly, followed by a summary of recent advancements in TENG-based wearable power sources and self-powered sensors. The challenges and prospects of this area are given as well.

Abstract
The simple design of a high-energy-density device with high-mass-loading electrode has attracted much attention but is challenging. Manganese oxide (MnO2 ) with its low cost and excellent electrochemical performance shows high potential for practical application in this regard. Hence, the high-mass-loading of the MnO2 electrode with wood-derived carbon (WC) as the current collector is reported through a convenient hydrothermal reaction for high-energy-density devices. Benefiting from the high-mass-loading of the MnO2 electrode (WC@MnO2 -20, ≈14.1 mg cm-2 ) and abundant active sites on the surface of the WC hierarchically porous structure, the WC@MnO2 -20 electrode shows remarkable high-rate performance of areal/specific capacitance ≈1.56 F cm-2 /45 F g-1 , compared to the WC electrode even at the high density of 20 mA cm-2 . Furthermore, the obtained symmetric supercapacitor exhibits high areal/specific capacitances of 3.62 F cm-2 and 87 F g-1 at 1.0 mA cm-2 and high energy densities of 0.502 mWh cm-2 /12.2 Wh kg-1 with capacitance retention of 75.2% after 10 000 long-term cycles at 20 mA cm-2 . This result sheds light on a feasible design strategy for high-energy-density supercapacitors with the appropriate mass loading of active materials and low-tortuosity structural design while also encouraging further investigation into electrochemical storage.

Abstract
Fibers have played a critical role in the long history of human development. They are the basic building blocks of textiles. Synthetic fibers not only make clothes stronger and more durable, but are also customizable and cheaper. The growth of miniature and wearable electronics has promoted the development of smart and multifunctional fibers. Particularly, the incorporation of functional semiconductors and electroactive materials in fibers has opened up the field of fiber electronics. The energy supply system is the key branch for fiber electronics. Herein, after a brief introduction on the history of smart and functional fibers, we review the current state of advanced functional fibers for their application in energy conversion and storage, focusing on nanogenerators, solar cells, supercapacitors and batteries. Subsequently, the importance of the integration of fiber-shaped energy conversion and storage devices via smart structure design is discussed. Finally, the challenges and future direction in this field are highlighted. Through this review, we hope to inspire scientists with different research backgrounds to enter this multi-disciplinary field to promote its prosperity and development and usher in a truly new era of smart fibers.

Abstract
A novel structured composite of polyaniline/pristine graphene (PG)-bacterial cellulose (BC) as electrodes fabricated in a facile approach and the foldable all-solid-state supercapacitors with high performance were reported in this work. The shear mixed PG-BC substrate was fixed with in situ polymerized polyaniline as a solder, improving its charge carrier transfer rate and cycling stability, while hydrophilic BC greatly improved the ion diffusion rate of the electrolyte. The as-prepared composites possessed a high areal capacitance of 3.65 F/cm2 at 5 mA/cm2, and the electrode was able to be bent into different shapes without fracture. The assembled all-solid-state supercapacitor was flexible and exhibited excellent areal capacitance of 1389 mF/cm2, energy density of 9.80 mWh/cm3, and 89.8% retention of its initial capacitance after 5000 cycles at a current density of 2 mA/cm2. The composite is expected to have applications in making flexible supercapacitors applied in wearable devices.

Abstract
Supercapacitor fibers, with short charging times, long cycle lifespans, and high power densities, hold promise for powering flexible fabric-based electronics. To date, however, only short lengths of functioning fiber supercapacitors have been produced. The primary goal of this study is to introduce a supercapacitor fiber that addresses the remaining challenges of scalability, flexibility, cladding impermeability, and performance at length. This is achieved through a top-down fabrication method in which a macroscale preform is thermally drawn into a fully functional energy-storage fiber. The preform consists of five components: thermally reversible porous electrode and electrolyte gels; conductive polymer and copper microwire current collectors; and an encapsulating hermetic cladding. This process produces 100 m of continuous functional supercapacitor fiber, orders of magnitude longer than any previously reported. In addition to flexibility (5 mm radius of curvature), moisture resistance (100 washing cycles), and strength (68 MPa), these fibers have an energy density of 306 μWh cm-2 at 3.0 V and ≈100% capacitance retention over 13 000 cycles at 1.6 V. To demonstrate the utility of this fiber, it is machine-woven and used as filament for 3D printing.

Abstract
Microscale fiber-based supercapacitors have become increasingly important for the needs of flexible, wearable, and lightweight portable electronics. Fiber electrodes without pre-existing cores enable a wider selection of materials and geometries than is possible through core-containing electrodes. The carbonization of fibrous precursors using an electrically driven route, different from a conventional high-temperature process, is particularly promising for achieving this structure. Here, we present a facile and low-cost process for producing high-performance microfiber supercapacitor electrodes based on carbonaceous materials without cores. Fibrous carbon nanotubes-agarose composite hydrogels, formed by an extrusion process, are converted to a composite fiber consisting of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) surrounded by an amorphous carbon (aC) matrix via Joule heating. When assembled into symmetrical two-electrode cells, the composite fiber (aC-CNTs) supercapacitor electrodes deliver a volumetric capacitance of 5.1 F cm−3 even at a high current density of 118 mA cm−3. Based on electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis, it is revealed that high electrochemical properties are attributed to fast response kinetics with a characteristic time constant of 2.5 s. The aC-CNTs fiber electrodes exhibit a 94% capacitance retention at 14 mA cm−3 for at least 10,000 charge-discharge cycles even when deformed (90° bend), which is essentially the same as that (96%) when not deformed. The aC-CNTs fiber electrodes also demonstrate excellent storage performance under mechanical deformation—for example, 1000 bending-straightening cycles.

Abstract
Power devices for the smart sensor networks of Internet of things (IoT) are required with minimum or even no maintenance due to their enormous quantities and widespread distribution. Self-charging power systems (SCPSs) refer to integrated energy devices with simultaneous energy harvesting, power management and effective energy storage capabilities, which may need no extra battery recharging and can sustainably drive sensors. Herein, we focus on the progress made in the field of nanogenerator-based SCPSs, which harvest mechanical energy using the Maxwell displacement current arising from the variation in the surface-polarized-charge-induced electrical field. Prototypes of different nanogenerator-based SCPSs will be overviewed. Finally, challenges and prospects in this field will be discussed.

Abstract
Graphene-fiber (GF) supercapacitors have attracted significant research attention in the field of wearable devices. However, there is still a need for active materials with high energy density. Transition Metal Nitrides (TMNs) are promising candidates for this purpose compared with conventional Transition Metal Oxides (TMOs) or conducting polymers (CPs) owing to their higher electrical conductivity, stability and relevant electrochemical properties. We have successfully integrated Tungsten Nitride (WN) with reduced graphene oxide fibers (rGOF) and developed high-performance hybrid fiber (WN-rGOF) supercapacitors. These hybrid supercapacitors attained a high capacitance of 16.29 F cm-3 at 0.05 A cm-3 and an energy density of 1.448 mW h cm-3, which is 7.5 and 1.75 times higher than those of the pure rGOF supercapacitor and the Tungsten Oxide/rGO hybrid fiber (WO3-rGOF) supercapacitor, respectively. The energy density readily increased up to 2.896 mW h cm-3 when three WN-rGOF supercapacitors were connected in series. The WN-rGOF supercapacitor also showed high capacitance retention of 84.7% after 10 000 cycles along with appreciable performance under severe mechanical deformation.

Abstract
Wire-shaped supercapacitors (WSCs) are promising in wearable electronics but still face critical challenges of limited energy density. Nanostructured materials are dominant in high-performance active materials for improving energy density but are generally limited to wire-shaped electrodes (WSEs) with low mass loading (<0.5 mg cm-1) because of sluggish ionic kinetics in thicker electrodes. To address this problem, we report here the treatment of microstructured carbon fiber (CF) via a surface engineering strategy, which adopts controllable oxygen (O) functional groups on the CF surface with both highly redox-active sites and fast electron/ion transport. By combining a knitting method, we demonstrate that a WSE with high mass loading (∼6.1 mg cm-1) can operate at ultrahigh capacitance (435.1 mF cm-1, 1539.7 mF cm-2, and 68.4 mF cm-3), exceeding that of most of the reported WSEs. An assembled WSC delivers up to 195.3 mF cm-1 and 33 μW h cm-1, surpassing the best carbon symmetric supercapacitor known, and even conducting polymers and metal oxide asymmetric devices. Thus, this work provides a viable method for a high-mass WSE and will stimulate the development of WSCs toward practical applications.

Abstract
Designing high-performance electrodes via 3D printing for advanced energy storage is appealing but remains challenging. In normal cases, light-weight carbonaceous materials harnessing excellent electrical conductivity have served as electrode candidates. However, they struggle with undermined areal and volumetric energy density of supercapacitor devices, thereby greatly impeding the practical applications. Herein, we demonstrate the in situ coupling of NiCoP bimetallic phosphide and Ti3C2 MXene to build up heavy NCPM electrodes affording tunable mass loading throughout 3D printing technology. The resolution of prints reaches 50 μm and the thickness of device electrodes is ca. 4 mm. Thus-printed electrode possessing robust open framework synergizes favorable capacitance of NiCoP and excellent conductivity of MXene, readily achieving a high areal and volumetric capacitance of 20 F cm-2 and 137 F cm-3 even at a high mass loading of ~ 46.3 mg cm-2. Accordingly, an asymmetric supercapacitor full cell assembled with 3D-printed NCPM as a positive electrode and 3D-printed activated carbon as a negative electrode harvests remarkable areal and volumetric energy density of 0.89 mWh cm-2 and 2.2 mWh cm-3, outperforming the most of state-of-the-art carbon-based supercapacitors. The present work is anticipated to offer a viable solution toward the customized construction of multifunctional architectures via 3D printing for high-energy-density energy storage systems.

Abstract
The growing adoption of biobased materials for electronic, energy conversion, and storage devices has relied on high-grade or refined cellulosic compositions. Herein, lignocellulose nanofibrils (LCNF), obtained from simple mechanical fibrillation of wood, are proposed as a source of continuous carbon microfibers obtained by wet spinning followed by single-step carbonization at 900 °C. The high lignin content of LCNF (∼28% based on dry mass), similar to that of the original wood, allowed the synthesis of carbon microfibers with a high carbon yield (29%) and electrical conductivity (66 S cm-1). The incorporation of anionic cellulose nanofibrils (TOCNF) enhanced the spinnability and the porous morphology of the carbon microfibers, making them suitable platforms for electrochemical double layer capacitance (EDLC). The increased loading of LCNF in the spinning dope resulted in carbon microfibers of enhanced carbon yield and conductivity. Meanwhile, TOCNF influenced the pore evolution and specific surface area after carbonization, which significantly improved the electrochemical double layer capacitance. When the carbon microfibers were directly applied as fiber-shaped supercapacitors (25 F cm-3), they displayed a remarkably long-term electrochemical stability (>93% of the initial capacitance after 10 000 cycles). Solid-state symmetric fiber supercapacitors were assembled using a PVA/H2SO4 gel electrolyte and resulted in an energy and power density of 0.25 mW h cm-3 and 65.1 mW cm-3, respectively. Overall, the results indicate a green and facile route to convert wood into carbon microfibers suitable for integration in wearables and energy storage devices and for potential applications in the field of bioelectronics.

Abstract
Fiber-based supercapacitors (FSCs) possess great potential as an ideal type of power source for future weaveable/wearable electronics and electronic-textiles. The performance of FSCs is, without doubt, primarily determined by the properties of fibrous electrodes. Carbonaceous fibers, e.g., commercial carbon fibers, newly developed graphene fibers, and carbon nanotube fibers, are deemed as promising materials for weaveable/wearable supercapacitors owing to their exotic properties including high tensile strength and robustness, excellent electrical conductivity, good flexibility, and environmental stability. Nevertheless, bare carbonaceous fiber normally exhibits low capacitance originating from electric double-layer capacitance, which remains unsatisfactory for efficiently powering wearable and portable devices. Numerous efforts have been devoted to tailoring fiber properties by hybridizing pseudocapacitive materials, and impressive progress has been achieved thus far. Herein, the microstructures of pristine carbonaceous fibers are introduced in detail, and the recent advances in rational nano/microstructure design of their hybrids, which provides the feasibility to achieve the synergistic interaction between conductive agents and pseudocapacitive nanomaterials but are normally overlooked, are comprehensively reviewed. Besides, the challenges in developing high-performance fibrous electrodes are also elaborately discussed.

Abstract
Wearable fiber-shaped integrated energy conversion and storage devices have attracted increasing attention, but it remains a big challenge to achieve a common fiber electrode for both energy conversion and storage with high performance. Here, we grow aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs) array on continuous graphene (G) tube, and their seamlessly connected structure provides the obtained G/CNTs composite fiber with a unique self-supported hollow structure. Taking advantage of the hollow structure, other active materials (e.g., polyaniline, PANI) could be easily functionalized on both inner and outer surfaces of the tube, and the obtained G/CNTs/PANI composite hollow fibers achieve a high mass loading (90%) of PANI. The G/CNTs/PANI composite hollow fibers can not only be used for high-performance fiber-shaped supercapacitor with large specific capacitance of 472 mF cm-2, but also can replace platinum wire to build fiber-shaped dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) with a high power conversion efficiency of 4.20%. As desired, the integrated device of DSSC and supercapacitor with the G/CNTs/PANI composite hollow fiber used as the common electrode exhibits a total power conversion and storage efficiency as high as 2.1%. Furthermore, the self-supported G/CNTs hollow fiber could be further functionalized with other active materials for building other flexible and wearable electronics.

Abstract
Flexible supercapacitors have been demonstrated to be ideal energy storage devices owing to their lightweight and flexible nature and their high power density. However, conventional film-shaped devices struggle to meet the requirements of application in complicated situations, including medical instruments and wearable electronics. Here we report a hollow-structured flexible tubular supercapacitor prepared from a scalable method with the same diameter as electric wires. This new supercapacitor design allows for a large specific capacitance of 102 F g-1 at a current density of 1 A g-1 with excellent air-working stability over 10,000 cycles. It also shows a high energy density of 14.2 Wh kg-1 with good rate capability even at a current density of 10 A g-1, which is superior to commercial devices (3-10 Wh kg-1). Moreover, the device delivers a stable energy storage capacity when encountering different flexible conditions, such as elongated, tangled and bent states, showing wide potentials in flexible and even wearable applications. Especially, it retains stable specific capacitance even after 500 bending cycles with a bending angle of 180°. The two-step fabrication method of these flexible tubular supercapacitors may allow for possible mass production, as they could be easily integrated with other functional components, and used in realistic scenarios that conventional film devices struggle to realize.

Abstract
The rapid development in wearable electronics has spurred a great deal of interest in flexible energy storage devices, particularly fiber-shaped energy storage devices (FSESDs), such as fiber-shaped supercapacitors (FSSCs) and fiber-shaped batteries (FSBs). Depending on their electrode configurations, FSESDs can contain five differently structured electrodes, including parallel fiber electrodes (PFEs), twisted fiber electrodes (TFDs), wrapped fiber electrodes (WFEs), coaxial fiber devices (CFEs), and rolled electrodes (REs). Various rational methods have been devised to incorporate these fiber-shaped electrodes into multifunctional FSESDs, including fiber-shaped supercapacitors, lithium-ion batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries, lithium-air batteries, zinc-air batteries, and aluminum-air batteries. Although significant progress has been made in FSESDs, it remains a major challenge to make high-performance fiber-shaped devices at low cost. A focused and critical review of the recent advancements in fiber-shaped supercapacitors and lithium-ion batteries is provided here. The pros and cons for each of the aforementioned electrode configurations and FSESDs are discussed, along with current challenges and future opportunities for FSESDs.

Abstract
Fiber is a symbol of human civilization, being ubiquitous but obscure in society over most of history. Fiber has been revived upon the advent of fiber-based electronic devices in the past two decades. This is due to its desirable lightweight, flexible, and conformable characteristics, which enable it to play a fundamental role in the electronic and information era. Numerous fiber-based electronic devices have sprung up in energy conversion, energy storage, sensing, actuation, etc. A possibility is thereby conceived that they can be integrated into smart systems compatible with the human body, consisting of biotic fiber-based organs and tissues, which possess similar but more advanced functions. However, the design of mono-/multifibers, the construction of fiber-based devices, and the integration of these smart systems represent great challenges in fundamental understanding and practical implementation. A systematic review of the current state of the art with respect to the design and fabrication of electronic fiber materials, construction of fiber-based devices, and integration of smart systems is presented. In addition, limitations of current fiber-based devices and perspectives are explored toward potential and promising smart integration.

Abstract
The electrical conductivity and mechanical strength of fibers constructed from single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are usually limited by the weak interactions between individual CNTs. In this work, we report a significant enhancement of both of these properties through chemical cross-linking of individual CNTs. The CNT fibers are made by wet-spinning a CNT solution that contains 1,3,5-tris(2'-bromophenyl)benzene (2TBB) molecules as the cross-linking agent, and the cross-linking is subsequently driven by Joule heating. Cross-linking with 2TBB increases the conductivity of the CNT fibers by a factor of ∼100 and increases the tensile strength on average by 47%; in contrast, the tensile strength of CNT fibers fabricated without 2TBB decreases after the same Joule heating process. Symmetrical supercapacitors made from the 2TBB-treated CNT fibers exhibit a remarkably high volumetric energy density of ∼4.5 mWh cm-3 and a power density of ∼1.3 W cm-3.

Abstract
Flexible supercapacitors based on fiber shaped electrodes exhibit great potential for practical applications in smart fabrics owing to their light weight, good flexibility, and excellent weaveability. Herein, manganosite/carbonized cellulose nanocrystal/reduced graphene oxide (MnO/CNC/rGO) ternary composite fibers were fabricated from liquid crystal spinning dopes through a continuous one-process method. The assembly of CNC and manganese oxide nanoparticles in GO aqueous dispersion not only prevents GO nanosheets from restacking, but also ensures a uniform intercalation of nanoparticles. After a chemical and thermal reduction, the carbonized CNC contributes for additional electrical double layer capacitance while the MnO for faradaic pseudocapacitance. A fiber supercapacitor was assembled by arranging two MnO/CNC/rGO ternary composite fibers coated with PVA/H3PO4 gel electrolyte in parallel and it exhibited an energy density of 0.14 mWh cm-3 at 4 mW cm-3 and the maximum power density of 40 mW cm-3. The fiber supercapacitor also demonstrated a good cycling stability (retains 82% of its initial capacitance after 6000 cycles) and bending robustness. This assembly approach is facile and scalable. More importantly the homogeneous dispersion of the nanoparticles in the ternary composite fibers shows promise for the future spreading of wearable electronic products.

Abstract
Planar supercapacitors (SCs) have been regarded as promising energy devices for on-chip electronics and they should be evaluated by areal performances due to the very limited available areas. However, these SCs usually suffer from inevitable size increase for the requirement of substrates, current collectors, and sealants. This work presents a kind of freestanding, foldable, and quasi-solid-state SCs that single SC units were stacked in the thickness direction with a common electrode to reduce their occupied areas. The foldable SCs can be fabricated in desired patterns by laser graving and their areal performances increase linearly with the assembled units. The energy density of a 5-unit foldable SC is 177.9 μWh cm-2 at the power density of 2.78 mW cm-2, and it outperforms most planar SCs. Therefore, this work provides a new reference to improve the areal properties of on-chip SCs from the device design aspect.

Abstract
In this work, the performance of a novel three-dimensional carbon-based planar microsupercapacitor (MSC) electrode structure is investigated. An in situ template-free fabrication of the Cu nanowire network structure acting as the current collector is first prepared through a chemical oxidation phase of sputtered Cu films, followed by a thermal reduction phase. Carbon is subsequently grown over the Cu nanostructure. In a two-electrode electrochemical test, the patterned interdigitated carbon/Cu nanowire network device exhibits an excellent maximum areal and volumetric capacitance of 1.45 and 7.43 mF cm-3, respectively, while retaining 94.2% of its capacitance after 10 000 charge-discharge cycles. This relatively simple foundry-compatible fabrication process provides an excellent method in which planar MSCs can be patterned and fabricated for energy storage solutions in microelectronics.

Abstract
The three-dimensional (3D) porous nanostructures have shown attractive promise for flexible microsupercapacitors due to their merits of more exposed electrochemical active sites, higher ion diffusion coefficient, and lower charge-transfer resistance. Herein, a highly opened 3D network of reduced graphene oxide/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (rGO/PEDOT) was constructed through the laser-assisted treatment and in situ vapor phase polymerization methods, which can be employed with gel electrolyte to prepare flexible microsupercapacitors, without conductive additives, polymer binder, separator, or complex processing. These porous open network structures endow the obtained microsupercapacitors with a maximum specific capacitance (35.12 F cm-3 at 80 mA cm-3), the corresponding energy density up to 4.876 mWh cm-3, remarkable cycling stability (with only about 9.8% loss after 4000 cycles), and excellent coulombic efficiency, which are comparable with most previous reported rGO-based microsupercapacitors. Additionally, the microsupercapacitors connected in series/parallel have been conveniently fabricated, followed by being integrated with solar cells as efficient energy harvesting and storage systems. Moreover, the working voltage or energy density of microsupercapacitors array can be easily tailored according to the practical requirements and this work provides a promising approach to prepare high-performance flexible micro-energy device applied in the wearable electronics accordingly.

Abstract
Wire-shaped asymmetric pseudocapacitors with both pseudocapacitive cathode and anode are promising in facilitating device assembly and provide highly efficient power sources for wearable electronics. However, it is a great challenge to simultaneously obtain high energy and power as well as ultralong cycling life for practical demands of such devices. Herein, a device design with new cathode/anode coupling is proposed to achieve excellent comprehensive performance in a wire-type quasi-solid-state asymmetric pseudocapacitor (WQAP). The hierarchical α-MnO2 nanorod@δ-MnO2 nanosheet array cathode and MoO2@C nanofilm anode are directly grown on flexible tiny Ti wires by well-established hydrothermal and electrodeposition techniques, which ensures rapid charge/mass transport kinetics and the sufficient utilization of pseudocapacitance. The nanoarray/film electrode also facilitates integration with gel electrolyte of polyvinyl alcohol-LiCl, guaranteeing the durability. The resulting WQAP with 2.0 V voltage delivers high volumetric energy and power densities (9.53 mWh cm-3 and 22720 mW cm-3, respectively) as well as outstanding cycling stability over 100 000 times, surpassing all the previously reported WQAPs. In addition, the device can be facilely connected in parallel or in series with minimal internal resistance, and be fabricated at the 1 m scale with excellent flexibility. This work opens the way to develop high-performance integrated wire supercapacitors.

Abstract
Electrochemical capacitors or supercapacitors have achieved great interest in the recent past due to their potential applications ranging from microelectronic devices to hybrid electric vehicles. Supercapacitors can provide high power densities but their inherently low energy density remains a great challenge. The high-performance supercapacitors utilize large electrode surface area for electrochemical double-layer capacitance and/or pseudocapacitance. To enhance the performance of supercapacitors, various strategies have been adopted such as electrode nanostructuring, hybrid electrode designs using nanocomposite electrodes and hybrid supercapacitor (HSC) configurations. Nanoarchitecturing of electrode-active materials is an effective way of enhancing the performance of supercapacitors as it increases the effective electrode surface area for enhanced electrode/electrolyte interaction. In this review, we focus on the recent developments in the novel electrode materials and various hybrid designs used in supercapacitors for obtaining high specific capacitance and energy density. A family of electrode-active materials including carbon nanomaterials, transition metal-oxides, transition metal-nitrides, transition metal-hydroxides, electronically conducting polymers, and their nanocomposites are discussed in detail. The HSC configurations for attaining enhanced supercapacitor performance as well as strategies to integrate with other microelectronic devices/wearable fabrics are also included.
