Abstract
As a new type of energy storage device, supercapacitors have the advantages of high-power densities, high safety factors, and low maintenance costs, so they have attracted widespread attention among researchers. However, a major problem with supercapacitors is that their energy densities are not high enough, which limits their application. Therefore, it is crucial to expand the application scenarios of supercapacitors to increase their energy density as much as possible without diminishing their advantages. The classification and working principles of supercapacitors are introduced in this paper. The electrochemical properties of pure NiS materials, NiS composites with carbon materials, NiS composites with sulfide materials, and NiS composites with transition metal oxides for supercapacitors are summarized. This paper may assist in the design of new electrode materials for NiS-based supercapacitors.

Abstract
The binary as well as ternary nanocomposites of the square-facet nanobar Co-MOF-derived Co3O4@Co/N-CNTs (N-CNTs: nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes) with Ag NPs and rGO have been synthesized via an easy wet chemical route, and their supercapacitor behavior was then studied. At a controlled pH of the precursor solution, square-facet nanobars of Co-MOF were first synthesized by the solvothermal method and then pyrolyzed under a controlled nitrogen atmosphere to get a core-shell system of Co3O4@Co/N-CNTs. In the second step, different compositions of Co3O4@Co/N-CNT core-shell structures were formed by an ex-situ method with Ag NPs and rGO moieties. Among several bare, binary, and ternary compositions tested in 6 M aqueous KOH electrolyte, a ternary nanocomposite having a 7.0:1.5:1.5 stoichiometric ratio of Co3O4@Co/N-CNT, Ag NPs, and rGO, respectively, reported the highest specific capacitance (3393.8 F g-1 at 5 mV s-1). The optimized nanocomposite showed the energy density, power density, and Coulombic efficiency of 74.1 W h.kg-1, 443.7 W.kg-1, and 101.3%, respectively, with excellent electrochemical stability. After testing an asymmetrical supercapacitor with a Co3O4@Co/N-CNT/Ag NPs/rGO/nickel foam cathode and an activated carbon/nickel foam anode, it showed 4.9 W h.kg-1 of energy density and 5000.0 W.kg-1 of power density.

Abstract
The green, sustainable, and inexpensive creation of novel materials, primarily nanoparticles, with effective energy-storing properties, is key to addressing both the rising demand for energy storage and the mounting environmental concerns throughout the world. Here, an orange peel extract is used to make cobalt oxide nanoparticles from cobalt nitrate hexahydrate. The orange peel extract has Citrus reticulata, which is a key biological component that acts as a ligand and a reducing agent during the formation of nanoparticles. Additionally, the same nanoparticles were also obtained from various precursors for phase and electrochemical behavior comparisons. The prepared Co-nanoparticles were also sulfurized and phosphorized to enhance the electrochemical properties. The synthesized samples were characterized using scanning electron microscopic and X-ray diffraction techniques. The cobalt oxide nanoparticle showed a specific capacitance of 90 F/g at 1 A/g, whereas the cobalt sulfide and phosphide samples delivered an improved specific capacitance of 98 F/g and 185 F/g at 1 A/g. The phosphide-based nanoparticles offer more than 85% capacitance retention after 5000 cycles. This study offers a green strategy to prepare nanostructured materials for energy applications.

Abstract
Simultaneously achieving a transparent and high-energy density supercapacitor is a major challenge because of the trade-off between energy storage capacity and optical transparency of active electrode materials. Herein, we demonstrate a novel approach to construct an optically transparent asymmetric supercapacitor (Trans-ASC) by assembling positive (ZnO-SnO2) and negative (TiO2-SnO2) composite thin-film electrodes on a conductive indium-doped tin oxide substrate via reactive DC magnetron cosputtering. The optical transmittance for both composite thin films is found to be 68% (ZnO-SnO2) and 64% (TiO2-SnO2). Furthermore, electrochemical kinematics of the primed transparent electrodes are scrutinized in 0.5 M KOH electrolyte without affecting the transparency of active electrodes. The structural reliability of the electrodes aids the superb electrochemical performance to construct a Trans-ASC, TiO2-SnO2//ZnO-SnO2, which works at a voltage of +1.2 V and attains a higher areal capacitance of 44.6 mF cm-2 at 2 mA cm-2. The assembled Trans-ASC delivers a maximum areal energy density of 8.75 μW h cm-2 with an optimal areal power density of 570 μW cm-2. Additionally, the capacitance retention of 81.6% and transparency of both electrodes remain almost the same (up to 60% for ZnO-SnO2 and 62% for TiO2-SnO2) even after 10,000 charging-discharging cycles. These remarkable electrochemical properties and outstanding cycling stability of the designed Trans-ASC device make it a potential candidate for storing energy and for further use in transparent electronic devices.

Abstract
In this work, a hierarchical electrode structure of cobaltosic oxide (Co3O4) growing on a reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-covered nickel foam (NF) substrate (named Co3O4/rGO/NF) is fabricated by a facile hydrothermal and subsequent annealing process. Thousands of nanoneedle units uniformly arranged on the surface of the rGO sheet stimulate the evident increase in the specific surface area and thus produce more active sites. Because of the special hierarchical structure, the Co3O4/rGO/NF electrode shows a high specific capacitance of 1400 F g−1 at 1 A g−1 and retains 58% capacitance even when the current density increases to 30 A g−1. In addition, a symmetric supercapacitor based on the Co3O4/rGO/NF electrode is assembled, exhibiting high specific capacitance of 311 F g−1 at 1 A g−1, as well as remarkable power density and energy density (40.67 Wh kg−1 at 12 kW kg−1). The device also demonstrates a great cycling performance after 10,000 cycles under the current density of 10 A g−1, acquiring 89.69% capacitance retention of the initial state. The accessible synthetic method and superior electrochemical performance of the Co3O4/rGO/NF composite electrode implicate its extensive application prospects in terms of new energy storage.

Abstract
Lightweight energy storage devices with high mechanical flexibility, superior electrochemical properties and good optical transparency are highly desired for next-generation smart wearable electronics. The development of high-performance flexible and transparent electrodes for supercapacitor applications is thus attracting great attention. In this work, we successfully developed flexible, transparent and highly conductive film electrodes based on a conducting polymer, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS). The PEDOT:PSS film electrodes were prepared via a simple spin-coating approach followed by a post-treatment with a salt solution. After treatment, the film electrodes achieved a high areal specific capacitance (3.92 mF/cm2 at 1 mA/cm2) and long cycling lifetime (capacitance retention >90% after 3000 cycles) with high transmittance (>60% at 550 nm). Owing to their good optoelectronic and electrochemical properties, the as-assembled all-solid-state device for which the PEDOT:PSS film electrodes were utilized as both the active electrode materials and current collectors also exhibited superior energy storage performance over other PEDOT-based flexible and transparent symmetric supercapacitors in the literature. This work provides an effective approach for producing high-performance, flexible and transparent polymer electrodes for supercapacitor applications. The as-obtained polymer film electrodes can also be highly promising for future flexible transparent portable electronics.

Abstract
Two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheets have emerged as a promising material for transparent, flexible micro-supercapacitors, but their use in electrodes is hindered by their poor electrical conductivity and cycling stability because of restacking. In this paper, we report a novel electrode architecture to exploit electrochemical activity of MoS2 nanosheets. Electrochemically exfoliated MoS2 dispersion was spin coated on mesh-like silver networks encapsulated with a flexible conducting film exhibiting a pseudocapacitive behavior. MoS2 nanosheets were electrochemically active over the whole electrode surface and the conductive layer provided a pathway to transport electrons between the MoS2 and the electrolyte. As the result, the composite electrode achieved a large areal capacitance (89.44 mF cm-2 at 6 mA cm-2) and high energy and power densities (12.42 µWh cm-2 and P = 6043 µW cm-2 at 6 mA cm-2) in a symmetric cell configuration with 3 M KOH solution while exhibiting a high optical transmittance of ~80%. Because the system was stable against mechanical bending and charge/discharge cycles, a flexible micro-supercapacitor that can power electronics at different bending states was realized.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) hybrid networks consisting of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets interconnected by Co3O4 nanowires (rGO/Co3O4), followed by the decoration of Fe2O3 nanospheres (NSs) (rGO/Co3O4@Fe2O3), were demonstrated by a facile hydrothermal method, with which the rGO/Co3O4 networks acted as nucleation sites for the in situ synthesis of Fe2O3 NSs. The intimate contacts between rGO, Co3O4 NWs and Fe2O3 NSs, which result in an excellent conductive behavior, provide a unique structure with huge potential for electrochemical property promoted electrochemical supercapacitors. The rGO/Co3O4@Fe2O3 hybrid networks as electrodes exhibit a high capacitance of 784 F g-1 at 1 A g-1 with 83% retention of the initial capacitance as the current density increases from 1 to 10 A g-1, which is explained by the graphene-based interconnected structure owing to the advantages of accommodating the volume expansion between Co3O4 NWs and Fe2O3 NSs. The supercapacitor was assembled by applying a nickel aluminum layered double hydroxide (NiAl-LDH) structure and rGO/Co3O4@Fe2O3 as the electrode materials and yields an energy density of 70.78 W h kg-1 at a power density of 0.29 kW kg-1. The energy density can maintain 24.24 W h kg-1 with 9.94 kW kg-1.

Abstract
Flexible transparent supercapacitors (FTSCs) are essential for the development of next-generation transparent electronics, however, a significant challenge is to achieve high-areal-capacitance FTSCs without sacrificing optical transparency. Herein, poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS)-glued MoO3 nanowires anchored on the Ag nanofiber (AgNF) network are employed as FTSC film electrodes, in which the AgNF network provides primary conducting pathways and guarantees rapid electron transport, while wide-bandgap semiconductor MoO3 nanowires glued by the ultrathin PEDOT:PSS layer provide abundant redox-active sites to store energy. Benefiting from the PEDOT:PSS as the conducting glue to promote the connection at the junctions between AgNFs and MoO3 nanowires, the as-prepared AgNFs/MoO3/PEDOT:PSS (AMP) film electrode demonstrates a high transmittance (82.8%) and large areal capacitance (15.7 mF cm-2), and has outperformed all the transparent conductive films known to date. Even after 11 000 charge/discharge cycles, the capacitance still remains at 92.4% of the initial value. The assembled all-solid-state FTSC device delivers an energy density of 0.623 μW h cm-2, a power density of 40 μW cm-2, and excellent mechanical robustness, implying a great potential in high performance FTSCs.

Abstract
Realizing transparent and energy-dense supercapacitor is highly challenging, as there is a trade-off between energy storing capability and transparency in the active material film. We report here that interstitial boron-doped mesoporous semiconductor oxide shows exceptional electrochemical capacitance which rivals other pseudocapacitive materials, while maintaining its transparent characteristic. This improvement is credited to the robust redox reactions at interstitial boron-associated defects that transform inert semiconductor oxides into an electrochemically active material without affecting its transparency. By precisely tuning the level of doping, the pseudocapacitive reactivity of these materials is optimized, resulting in a volumetric capacitance up to 1172 F cm-3. Attributing to such efficient charge storage utilization on the active film, the fabricated transparent supercapacitor delivers a maximum areal energy density of 1.36 × 10-3 mWh cm-2 that is close to those of conventional pseudocapacitive materials, with nearly 100% capacitance retention after 15000 cycles and ultrahigh transparency (up to 85% transmittance at 550 nm). In addition, this device shows excellent durability and flexibility with multiple optional outputs, demonstrating the potential as a transparent energy supply in planar electronics.

Abstract
A few critical issues in preparing transparent conductive electrodes (TCEs) based on solution-processable conductive nanomaterials are their low electrical conductivity and the unfavorable trade-off between electrical conductivity and optical transparency, which are closely related to the organic ligands bound to the nanomaterial surface. In particular, bulky/insulating organic ligands bound to the surface of conductive nanomaterials unavoidably act as high contact resistance sites at the interfaces between neighboring nanomaterials, which adversely affects the charge transfer kinetics of the resultant TCEs. This article reviews the latest research status of various interfacial control approaches for solution-processable TCEs. We describe how these approaches can be effectively applied to conductive nanomaterials and how interface-controlled conductive nanomaterials can be employed to improve the electrical and/or electrochemical performance of various transparent nanocomposite electrodes, including TCEs, energy storage electrodes, and electrochromic electrodes. Last, we provide perspectives on the development direction for next-generation transparent nanocomposite electrodes and breakthroughs for significantly mitigating the complex trade-off between their electrical/electrochemical performance and optical transparency.

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.

Abstract
In this work, we report the fabrication of continuous transparent and flexible supercapacitors by depositing a CNT network onto a polymer electrolyte membrane directly from an aerogel of ultra-long CNTs produced floating in the gas phase. The supercapacitors show a combination of a power density of 1370 kW kg-1 at high transmittance (ca. 70%), and high electrochemical stability during extended cycling (>94% capacitance retention over 20 000 cycles) and against repeated 180° flexural deformation. They represent a significant enhancement of 1-3 orders of magnitude compared to prior state-of-the-art transparent supercapacitors based on graphene, CNTs, and rGO. These features mainly arise from the exceptionally long length of CNTs, which makes the material behave as a bulk conductor instead of an aspect ratio-limited percolating network, even for electrodes with >90% transparency. The electrical and capacitive figures-of-merit for the transparent conductor are FoMe = 2.7, and FoMc = 0.46 F S-1 cm-2 respectively.

Abstract
A special gas-phase diffusion precipitation method with ammonia as the gas-phase diffusion precipitant was adopted. After fully reacting with different cobalt sources in a sealed space, the liquid funnel was separated and dried, and calcined at different temperatures for 2 h. The prepared Co3O4 powder was used as a supercapacitor (SCs) electrode to measure the electrochemical properties of the prepared material. The influences of different cobalt sources and sodium phosphate monobasic dehydrate on the preparation of Co3O4 SCs electrodes were investigated. The optimal performance of Co3O4 was 640 F·g−1 before modification, and this reached 1140 F·g−1 after modification, which was an improvement of 78.1%.

Abstract
Metal oxide based humidity sensors are important indicators in environmental monitoring. However, most of them are non-transparent and have a long response time, which cannot meet the application of real-time humidity sensing in transparent electronics. Here, we report a metal oxide humidity sensor based on chemically synthesized molybdenum oxide (α-MoO3) thin films. By a green reaction in an ice water bath, the stable precursor containing nanocrystalline colloids was obtained. Molybdenum oxide films with controllable morphology were fabricated through one-step spin coating. The α-MoO3 based humidity sensor exhibits extremely high transparency (85%) in the visible region and has short response and recovery times (0.97 and 12.11 s). In addition, it also shows high sensitivity, good logarithmic linearity and selectivity in a wide relative humidity range of 11% to 95%. The mechanism of humidity sensing was further studied by complex impedance spectroscopy. This novel metal oxide humidity sensor combined with high transparency and fast response speed is expected to broaden the application ranges of humidity sensors.

Abstract
Transparent flexible energy storage devices are considered as important chains in the next-generation, which are able to store and supply energy for electronic devices. Here, aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) nanorods (NRs) and nickel oxide (NiO)-coated AZO NRs on muscovites are fabricated by a radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering deposition method. Interestingly, AZO NRs and AZO/NiO NRs are excellent electrodes for energy storage application with high optical transparency, high conductivity, large surface area, stability under compressive and tensile strain down to a bending radius of 5 mm with 1000 bending cycles. The obtained symmetric solid-state supercapacitors based on these electrodes exhibit good performance with a large areal specific capacitance of 3.4 mF cm-2 , long cycle life 1000 times, robust mechanical properties, and high chemical stability. Furthermore, an AZO/NiO//Zn battery based on these electrodes is demonstrated, yielding a discharge capacity of 195 mAh g-1 at a current rate of 8 A g-1 and a discharge capacity of over 1000 cycles with coulombic efficiency to 92%. These results deliver a concept of opening a new opportunity for future applications in transparent flexible energy storage.

Abstract
Organic-inorganic hybrid membranes, made of a high density of redox active moieties covalently bonded to the internal surfaces of vertically aligned mesoporous silica thin films, are relevant for applications in transparent energy storage devices. This is demonstrated here on the basis of functionalized transparent mesoporous silica thin films prepared on the indium-tin oxide electrode from the combination of an electrochemically induced self-assembly method (to generate azide-functionalized silica) and a copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne click reaction (to derivatize the material with electroactive groups). The very small thickness (105 nm) and the uniformly distributed vertical mesochannels with ultranarrow diameter (2 nm) make the hybrid film a promising substrate that not only achieves a transparency of 82% but also provides large surface area to accommodate a high density of redox active species such as ferrocene. In such rigid and insulating porous membranes, the charge transfer reactions take place through a pure electron-hopping mechanism between adjacent redox sites, which are favored by the ordered and oriented mesostructure containing large amounts of uniformly distributed ferrocene functions in the mesochannels. Their performance results from both high charge transfer rates (electron hopping) and easy mass transport (fast diffusion of counter ions). The most effective system is the ferrocene-functionalized silica film prepared from 40% organosilane, which is able to deliver a capacity of 105 C cm-3 (1.10 mC cm-2) at a current density of 0.4 A cm-3 (with up to 48% capacity retention achieved at a charging time as short as 2.8 s). Such an electrode can be associated to an electrodeposited graphene anode in a solid-state battery-capacitor hybrid device, which can deliver 0.74 mC cm-2 at a potential scan rate of 20 mV s-1. The azide-functionalized mesoporous silica film is actually a versatile platform that can be functionalized with different redox molecules, as shown here for cobaltocenium moieties, which may broaden its application field.

Abstract
Rational design and synthesis of efficient electrodes with pronounced energy storage properties are crucial for supercapacitors. Herein, we report thin NiCr-layered double hydroxide nanoflakes (NiCr-LDNs) for a high-performance supercapacitor. These fabricated NiCr-LDNs, with various Ni2+/Cr3+ ratios, are one-step controllably synthesized through ultrasonication coupled with mechanical agitation, without hydrothermal treatment or extra exfoliation using organic solvents. Through comparison of different Ni2+/Cr3+ ratios, the Ni2Cr1-LDNs with a 4.7 nm thickness exhibited a superb capacitance performance of 1525 F g-1 at 2 A g-1, which is competitive with most previously reported layered double hydroxide (LDH)-based electrodes. These thin nanoflake structures have the potential to reduce the energy barrier and enhance the capture ability of electrolyte ions. Besides, an asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) assembled using Ni2Cr1-LDNs achieved a remarkable energy density of 55.22 W h kg-1 at a power density of 400 W kg-1 and maintained high specific capacitance (over 81%), even after 5000 cycles. This work offers an efficient and facile route to fabricating LDH nanoflakes for boosting energy storage capabilities.

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
A convenient and scalable hydrothermal method was developed for the fabrication of the core-branch Fe2O3@NiO nanorods arrays directly grown on flexible carbon cloth (denoted as Fe2O3@NiO/CC). Such a unique architecture was applied as an electrode of the supercapacitors. As a result, the Fe2O3@NiO/CC exhibited a high areal capacitance ~800 mF cm-2 at 10 mA cm-2, which was about 10 times increase with respect to Fe2O3 nanorods array grown on carbon cloth (Fe2O3/CC). The Fe2O3@NiO/CC also had the long life cycle (96.8 % capacitance retention after 16,000 cycles) and remarkable rate capability (44.0 % capacitance loss at a very large current density of 100 mA cm-2). The superior performance of the Fe2O3@NiO/CC should be ascribed to the reduction of the contact resistance and the free-standing structure of the flexible electrode. This study provides a novel strategy to construct high-performance flexible electrode materials with unique core-branch structure by incorporating two different pseudocapacitive materials.

Abstract
To enhance the connection of electroactive materials/current collector and accelerate the transport efficiency of the electrons, a binder-free electrode composed of nickel oxide anchored CoOx nanoparticles on modified commercial nickel foam (NF) was developed. The nickel oxide layer with lamellar structure which supplied skeleton to load CoOx electroactive materials directly grew on the NF surface, leading to a tight connection between the current collector and electroactive materials. The fabricated electrode exhibits a specific capacitance of 475 F/g at 1 mA/cm2. A high capacitance retention of 96% after 3000 cycles is achieved, attributed to the binding improvement at the current collector/electroactive materials interface. Moreover, an asymmetric supercapacitor with an operating voltage window of 1.4 V was assembled using oxidized NF anchored with cobalt oxide as the cathode and activated stainless steel wire mesh as the anode. The device achieves a maximum energy density of 2.43 Wh/kg and power density of 0.18 kW/kg, respectively. The modified NF substrate conducted by a facile and effective electrolysis process, which also could be applied to deposit other electroactive materials for the energy storage devices.

Abstract
Among the popular electrochemical energy storage devices, supercapacitors (SCs) have attracted much attention due to their long cycle life, fast charge and discharge, safety, and reliability. Transition metal oxides are one of the most widely used electrode materials in SCs because of the high specific capacitance. Among various transition metal oxides, Co3O4 and related composites are widely reported in SCs electrodes. In this review, we introduce the synthetic methods of Co3O4, including the hydrothermal/solvothermal method, sol-gel method, thermal decomposition, chemical precipitation, electrodeposition, chemical bath deposition, and the template method. The recent progress of Co3O4-containing electrode materials is summarized in detail, involving Co3O4/carbon, Co3O4/conducting polymer, and Co3O4/metal compound composites. Finally, the current challenges and outlook of Co3O4 and Co3O4-containing composites are put forward.

Abstract
The integration of metal oxide composite nanostructures has attracted great attention in supercapacitor (SC) applications. Herein, we fabricated a series of metal oxide composite nanostructures, including ZnO nanowires, NiO nanosheets, ZnO/CuO nanowire arrays, ZnO/FeO nanocrystals, ZnO/NiO nanosheets and ZnO/PbO nanotubes, via a simple and cost-effective chemical bath deposition (CBD) method. The electrochemical properties of the produced SCs were examined by performing cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD) analysis, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Of the different metal oxides and metal oxide composites tested, the unique surface morphology of the ZnO/NiO nanosheets most effectively increased the electron transfer rate and electrical conductivity, which resulted in improved energy storage properties. The binder-free ZnO/NiO electrode delivered a high specific capacitance/capacity of 1248 F g-1 (599 mA h g-1) at 8 mA cm-2 and long-term cycling stability over the course of 3000 cycles with a capacity retention of 79%. These results suggested a superiority in performance of the ZnO/NiO nanosheets relative to the nanowires, nanowire arrays, nanocrystals, and nanotubes. Thus, the present work has provided an opportunity to fabricate new metal oxide composite nanostructures with high-performance energy storage devices.

Abstract
While doping of semiconductors or oxides is crucial for numerous technological applications, its control remains difficult especially when the material is reduced down to the nanometric scale. In this paper, we show that pulsed laser ablation of an undoped solid target in an aqueous solution containing activator ions offers a new way to synthesise doped-nanoparticles. The doping efficiency is evaluated for laser ablation of an undoped Gd2O3 target in aqueous solutions of EuCl3 with molar concentration from 10-5 mol L-1 to 10-3 mol L-1. Thanks to luminescence experiments, we show that the europium ions penetrate the core of the synthesised monoclinic Gd2O3 nanoparticles. We also show that the concentration of the activators in the nanoparticles is proportional to the initial concentration in europium ions in the aqueous solution, and a doping of about 1% ([Eu]/[Gd] atomic ratio) is reached. On the one hand, this work could open new ways for the synthesis of doped nanomaterials. On the other hand, it also raises the question of undesired penetration of impurities in laser-generated nanoparticles in liquids.

Abstract
Flexible transparent electrochemical supercapacitors are critical components for the rapid development of fully flexible transparent electronics; however, typical flexible transparent supercapacitor electrodes store limited energy due to the requirements of transparency. Self-standing core-shell structure metal oxide mesh electrodes with metal oxide as active "shell" and metallic mesh as current collector "core" are efficient for simultaneously achieving high capacity, flexibility, and transparency. In this work, we perform a morphology-controlled electrodeposition of MnO2 on a self-standing flexible transparent metallic Ni mesh electrode to achieve a high-capacity flexible transparent supercapacitor electrode. Under optimized conditions, the MnO2 nanosheet-composed flowerlike multiscale microstructure was constructed. The open, loose, and porous MnO2 multiscale microstructure "shell" and high electrical conductivity of self-standing metallic mesh "core" synergistically enable efficient ionic and electronic transport and meanwhile retain high structural stability. The metal oxide mesh electrode yields an outstanding areal capacitance of 1.15 F/cm2 at an optical transmittance of 69.4% and excellent cycling stability. The symmetric solid-state supercapacitor device exhibits a high areal capacitance value (78.46 mF/cm2), superior cycling life, as well as high optical transmittance and mechanical flexibility, superior to the most reported flexible transparent supercapacitors. This work provides a comprehensive understanding on how to achieve high-capacity flexible transparent supercapacitor electrodes and solid-state devices.

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.

Abstract
Developing high-performance, flexible, transparent supercapacitors for wearable electronics represents an important challenge, as it requires active materials to be sufficiently transparent without compromising energy storage. Here, we manipulate the morphology of the active materials and the junctions on the current collector to achieve optimum electronic/ionic transport kinetics. Two-dimensional Co(OH)2 nanosheets with single or two layers were vertically aligned onto a modified Ag nanowires (AgNWs) network using an electrochemical deposition-UV irradiation approach. The metallic AgNWs network endows high transparency while minimizing the contact resistance with the pseudocapacitive Co(OH)2 nanosheets. The Co(OH)2 nanosheets self-assembled into a three-dimensional array, which is beneficial for the fast ion movements. The rational materials design greatly boosts the electrochemical performance of the hybrid network, including an ultrahigh areal capacitance up to 3108 μC cm-2 (5180 μF cm-2) coupled with long cycle life (20 000 cycles). As a prototype device, the symmetric supercapacitor well combines high energy/power density and excellent mechanical flexibility and long-term performance, suggesting a promising application for the next-generation wearable electronics.

Abstract
Present work demonstrates a single step process for simultaneous synthesis of metal-nanoparticle-encapsulated nitrogen-doped bamboo-shaped carbon nanotubes (M/N-BCNTs) and graphitic carbon nitride (G-C3N3). The synthesis of two different carbon nanostructures in a single step is recognized for the first time. This process involves the use of inexpensive and nontoxic precursors such as melamine as carbon and nitrogen sources for the growth of G-C3N3 and M/N-BCNTs. In this technique, the utilization of unwanted gases such as ammonia and hydrocarbons released during the decomposition of melamine is the key to grow M/N-BCNTs over the catalyst along with the formation of G-C3N4. The implementation of M/N-BCNTs as the electrode material for all-solid-state symmetric supercapacitor results in a maximum specific capacitance of ∼368 F g-1 with excellent electrochemical stability with 97% capacity retention after 10 000 cycles. Furthermore, fabricated symmetric supercapacitor shows maximum high energy and power density up to 10.88 W h kg-1 and 2.06 kW kg-1, respectively. The superior electrochemical activity of M/N-BCNTs can be attributed to its high surface to area volume ratio, unique structural characteristics, ultrahigh electrical conductivity, and carrier mobility.

Abstract
The transparent flexible supercapacitor is considered to be the key energy-storage component for the development of wearable and fully transparent electronic devices. However, the current transparent supercapacitor faces the low-haze challenge, which is essential for the high-definition visualization in transparent electronics. Herein, we developed a facile interfacial polymerization approach for the large-area preparation of flexible polypyrrole/polyethylene terephthalate (PPy/PET) transparent conductive films in a cost-effective way. The PPy/PET film exhibits a highly uniform morphology and a low haze level of 1.40% (corresponding to high definition) as well as negligible resistance changing under an ultrasmall bending radius. The sandwich-structured, large-area, transparent supercapacitor assembled based on the PPy/PET films also keeps a similar low haze level. A facile N, N-dimethylformamide etchant-written strategy on the PPy/PET film is developed to fabricate the patterned micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) in series in scalable area, which show a low haze level of 1.66% and a high transparency of 70.2%. Significantly, the low-haze MSC possesses high energy-storage capacity and presents almost no capacitance loss at an extreme bending state. This work demonstrates a facile preparation of large-area and low-haze transparent flexible supercapacitors and also enlightens broad interests in their potential integrity toward the fully transparent wearable electronics.

Abstract
Due to the broad application prospect, flexible and transparent electronic device has been widely used in portable wearable devices, energy storage smart window and other fields, which owns many advantages such as portable, foldable, small-quality, low-cost, good transparency, high performance and so on. All these electronic devices are inseparable from the support of energy storage device. Energy storage device, like lithium-ion battery and super capacitor, also require strict flexibility and transparency as the energy supply equipment of electronic devices. Here, we demonstrate the development and applications of flexible and transparent lithium-ion battery and super capacitor. In particular, carbon nanomaterials are widely used in flexible and transparent electronic device, due to their excellent optical and electrical properties and good mechanical properties. For example, carbon nanotubes with high electrical conductivity and low density have been widely reported by researchers. Otherwise, graphene as an emerging two-dimensional material with electrical conductivity and carrier mobility attracts comparatively more attention than that of other carbon nanomaterials. Substantial effort has been put on the research for graphene-based energy storage system by researchers from all over the world. But, there is still a long way to accomplish this goal of improving the performance for stretchable and transparent electronic device due to the existing technical conditions.

Abstract
Sandwich structured hybrids consisting of a Co3O4 nanowire as the core, amorphous carbon (C) as the inner shell and a polypyrrole (PPy) outer layer as the exodermis are synthesized via a hydrothermal method and constant current electropolymerization. The formation mechanism and growth stage of PPy on carbon surfaces is investigated and it was discovered that PPy layer thickness, corresponding to nucleation time of the polymer, as the dynamic factor, can influence the pseudocapacitive properties of the obtained composites. The carbon layer acts as both a network to increase the electric conductivity and a buffer agent to reduce volume expansion of Co3O4 during ion insertion/extraction to achieve higher capacitance and better cyclic stability. So for a capacitor, the Co3O4@C@PPy electrode delivers a higher areal capacitance of 2.71 F cm−2 at 10 mA cm−2 (1663 F g−1 at 6.1 A g−1) and improved rate capability compared to Co3O4 and Co3O4@C. An asymmetric device is assembled by the Co3O4@C@PPy hybrids as a cathode and a relatively high energy density of 63.64 W h kg−1 at a power density of 0.54 kW kg−1 is obtained, demonstrating that the sandwich structured Co3O4@C@PPy hybrids have enormous potential for high-performance pseudocapacitors. The fabrication of sandwich structural CO3O4@C@PPy electrode for improving rate capability and areal capacitance.![]()

Abstract
Electromagnetic (EM) wave absorbing materials have been fabricated from diverse materials such as conductive polymers, carbon based nanostructures and magnetic metal oxides. Nevertheless, it has remained a great challenge to develop lightweight and high-efficiency EM wave absorbing materials with a broad frequency range. Herein, we report a scalable strategy to create Co3O4/carbon composite nanofibrous membrane by electrospinning technique followed by stabilization and carbonization processes. An optimal reflection loss (RL) value of 36.27 dB is reached at 13.76 GHz for a layer of 2 mm thickness. RL exceeding −20 dB can be realized in any interval within the 4.5–14.4 GHz range by selecting a proper thickness of the absorbing layer between 1 and 5 mm. The Co3O4/carbon composite nanofibrous membrane could be well served as promising and attractive candidates for lightweight and enhanced EM wave absorbing materials. This presented research provides an innovative and effective approach to design the novel EM wave absorbing material in a broad frequency range for practical applications.
