Abstract
Flexible conductive films are a key component of strain sensors, and their performance directly affects the overall quality of the sensor. However, existing flexible conductive films struggle to maintain high conductivity while simultaneously ensuring excellent flexibility, hydrophobicity, and corrosion resistance, thereby limiting their use in harsh environments. In this paper, a novel method is proposed to fabricate flexible conductive films via centrifugal spinning to generate thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) nanofiber substrates by employing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and carbon nanofibers (CNFs) as conductive fillers. These fillers are anchored to the nanofibers through ultrasonic dispersion and impregnation techniques and subsequently modified with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). This study focuses on the effect of different ratios of CNTs to CNFs on the film properties. Research demonstrated that at a 1:1 ratio of CNTs to CNFs, with TPU at a 20% concentration and PDMS solution at 2 wt%, the conductive films crafted from these blended fillers exhibited outstanding performance, characterized by electrical conductivity (31.4 S/m), elongation at break (217.5%), and tensile cycling stability (800 cycles at 20% strain). Furthermore, the nanofiber-based conductive films were tested by attaching them to various human body parts. The tests demonstrated that these films effectively respond to motion changes at the wrist, elbow joints, and chest cavity, underscoring their potential as core components in strain sensors.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with customizable geometry and redox centers are an ideal candidate for supercapacitors and hybrid capacitive deionization (HCDI). However, their poor intrinsic conductivity and micropore-dominated pore structures severely impair their electrochemical performance, and the synthesis process using organic solvents brings serious environmental and cost issues. Herein, a 2D redox-active pyrazine-based COF (BAHC-COF) was anchored on the surface of graphene in a solvent-free strategy for heterointerface regulation. The as-prepared BAHC-COF/graphene (BAHCGO) nanohybrid materials possess high-speed charge transport offered by the graphene carrier and accelerated electrolyte ion migration within the BAHC-COF, allowing ions to effectively occupy ion storage sites inside BAHC. As a result, the BAHCGO//activated carbon asymmetric supercapacitor achieves a high energy output of 61.2 W h kg-1 and a satisfactory long-term cycling life. More importantly, BAHCGO-based HCDI possesses a high salt adsorption capacity (SAC) of 67.5 mg g-1 and excellent long-term desalination/regeneration stability. This work accelerates the application of COF-based materials in the fields of energy storage and water treatment.

Abstract
As a progressive electronic energy storage device, the flexible supercapacitor holds tremendous promise for powering wearable/portable electronic products. Of various pseudocapacitor materials, vanadium dioxide (VO2) has garnered extensive attention due to its impressive theoretical capacitance. However, the challenges of inferior cycling life and lower energy density to be addressed. Herein, we prepare VO2 nanorods with winding carbon nanotubes (CNT) via a facile solvothermal route, followed by in situ polymerization of polyaniline (PANI) shell. Taking full advantage of the synergistic effect, the VO2/CNT@PANI composite delivers a high specific capacitance of 354.2F/g at 0.5 A/g and a long cycling life of ∼ 88.2 % over 5000 cycles resulting from the enhanced conductivity of CNT and stabilization of PANI shell. By screen printing the formulated inks with outstanding rheological behaviours, we manufacture an in-planar VO2/CNT@PANI symmetric supercapacitor (VO2/CNT@PANI SSC) device featuring an orderly arrangement structure. This device yields a remarkable areal energy density of 99.57 μWh/cm2 at a power density of 387.5 μW/cm2 while retaining approximately ∼ 87.6 % of its initial capacitance after prolonged use. Furthermore, we successfully powered a portable game machine for more than 2 min using two SSCs connected in series with ease. Therefore, this work presents a universal strategy that utilises combination and coating to boost electrochemical performance for flexible high-performance supercapacitors.

Abstract
This study presents the in situ synthesis of CNT@SrTiO3 nanocomposite films for the development of high-performance flexible supercapacitors. The synthesis process involved the use of organic-inorganic hybrid polymers containing metal elements as precursors for thermal decomposition reaction under a reducing atmosphere. Due to the formation of chemical bonding between Ti elements and the CNTs, the interface between STO and CNT surface could provide additional active sites for ion transport and storage. Thereby, the incorporation of SrTiO3 nanoparticles into CNTs enhanced the electrochemical performance of the resulting nanocomposite membranes. To further investigate the influence of STO content and synthesis temperature, we conducted a detailed analysis. The findings indicated that the CNT@STO film with 25% STO content, synthesized at 700 °C, and possessed optimal performance with an areal capacitance of 6682 mF·cm-2 at 5 mV·s-1. Furthermore, a symmetrical flexible supercapacitor assembled by two CNT@STO-25 electrodes demonstrated strong application potential in wearable devices, owing to its long cycle life, excellent flexibility, and high energy density of 430.2 μWh·cm-2 (corresponding power density of 4.5 mW·cm-2). Based on these results, we believe that this study provides a fresh idea for the development of novel flexible energy storage materials.

Abstract
In the evolving landscape of portable electronics, there is a critical demand for components that meld stretchability with optical transparency, especially in supercapacitors. Traditional materials fall short in harmonizing conductivity, stretchability, transparency, and capacity. Although poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) stands out as an exemplary candidate, further performance enhancements are necessary to meet the demands of practical applications. This study presents an innovative and effective method for enhancing electrochemical properties by homogeneously incorporating Ru(III) into PEDOT:PSS. These Ru(III) PEDOT:PSS complexes are readily synthesized by dipping PEDOT:PSS films in RuCl3 solution for no longer than one minute, leveraging the high specific capacitance of Ru(III) while minimizing interference with transmittance. The supercapacitor made with this Ru(III) PEDOT:PSS complex demonstrated an areal capacitance of 1.62 mF cm-2 at a transmittance of 73.5%, which was 155% higher than that of the supercapacitor made with PEDOT:PSS under comparable transparency. Notably, the supercapacitor retained 87.8% of its initial capacitance even under 20% tensile strain across 20,000 cycles. This work presents a blueprint for developing stretchable and transparent supercapacitors, marking a significant stride toward next-generation wearable electronics.

Abstract
Despite its potential for clean hydrogen harvesting, photoelectrochemical (PEC) water-splitting cells face challenges in commercialization, particularly related its harvesting performance and productivity at an industrial scale. Herein, a facile fabrication method of flexible thin-film photoanode for PEC water-splitting to overcome these limitations, based on laser processing technologies, is proposed. Laser-induced graphene, a carbon structure produced through direct laser writing carbonization (DLWC), plays a dual role: a flexible and stable current collector and a substrate for the hydrothermal synthesis of tungsten trioxide (WO3) nanorods (NRs). To facilitate water-splitting, a femtosecond-pulsed laser (fs laser) is focused on the WO3 NRs, converting their crystalline phase from pristine orthorhombic to monoclinic structure without thermal damage. With NiFe layered double hydroxide (LDH) catalyst, the flexible thin-film photoanode exhibits good PEC performance (1.46 mA cm-2 at 1.23 VRHE) and retains ≈90% of its performance after 3000 bending cycles. With its excellent mechanical properties, the flexible photoanode can be operated in various shapes with different curvatures, enabling space-efficient PEC water-splitting by loading larger photoanode within a given space. This study is expected to contribute to the advancement of large-scale solar water-splitting cells, introducing a new approach to enhance H2/O2 production and expand its application range.

Abstract
Despite the tremendous efforts on developing antibacterial wearable textile materials containing Ti3C2Tx MXene, the singular antimicrobial mechanism, poor antibacterial durability, and oxidation susceptibility of MXene limits their applications. In this context, flexible multifunctional cellulosic textiles were prepared via layer-by-layer assembly of MXene and the in-situ synthesis of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8). Specifically, the introduction of highly conductive MXene enhanced the interface interactions between the ZIF-8 layer and cellulose fibers, endowing the green-based materials with outstanding synergistic photothermal/photodynamic therapy (PTT/PDT) activity and adjustable electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding performance. In-situ polymerization formed a MXene/ZIF-8 bilayer structure, promoting the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) while protecting MXene from oxidation. The as-prepared smart textile exhibited excellent bactericidal efficacy of >99.99 % against both Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) after 5 min of NIR (300 mW cm-2) irradiation which is below the maximum permissible exposure (MPE) limit. The sustained released Zn2+ from the ZIF-8 layer achieved a bactericidal efficiency of over 99.99 % within 48 h without NIR light. Furthermore, this smart textile also demonstrated remarkable EMI shielding efficiency (47.7 dB). Clearly, this study provides an elaborate strategy for designing and constructing multifunctional cellulose-based materials for a variety of applications.

Abstract
MXenes have unique properties such as high electrical conductivity, excellent mechanical properties, rich surface chemistry, and convenient processability. These characteristics make them ideal for producing flexible materials with tunable microstructures. This paper reviews the laboratory research progress of flexible MXene and its composite materials for supercapacitors. And introduces the general synthesis method of MXene, as well as the preparation and properties of flexible MXene. By analyzing the current research status, the electrochemical reaction mechanism of MXene was explained from the perspectives of electrolyte and surface terminating groups. This review particularly emphasizes the composite methods of freestanding flexible MXene composite materials. The review points out that the biggest problem with flexible MXene electrodes is severe self-stacking, which reduces the number of chemically active sites, weakens ion accessibility, and ultimately lowers electrochemical performance. Therefore, it is necessary to composite MXene with other electrode materials and design a good microstructure. This review affirms the enormous potential of flexible MXene and its composite materials in the field of supercapacitors. In addition, the challenges and possible improvements faced by MXene based materials in practical applications were also discussed.

Abstract
Despite the intriguing features of freestanding flexible electronic devices, such as their binder-free nature and cost-effectiveness, the limited loading capacity of active material poses a challenge to achieving practical high-performance flexible electrodes. We propose a novel approach that integrates multiple self-assembly and in-situ polymerization techniques to fabricate a high-loading paper-based flexible electrode (MXene/Polypyrrole/Paper) with exceptional areal capacitance. The approach enables polypyrrole to form a porous conductive network structure on the surface of paper fiber through MXene grafting via hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interaction, resulting in an exceptionally high polypyrrole loading of 10.0 mg/cm2 and a conductivity of 2.03 S/cm. Moreover, MXene-modified polypyrrole paper exhibits a more homogeneous pore size distribution ranging from 5 to 50 μm and an increased specific surface area of 3.11 m2/g. Additionally, we have optimized in-situ polymerization cycles for paper-based supercapacitors, resulting in a remarkable areal capacitance of 2316 mF/cm2 (at 2 mA/cm2). The capacitance retention rate and conductivity rate maintain over 90 % after undergoing 100 bends.The maximum energy density and cycling stability are characterized to be 83.6 μWh/cm2 and up to 96 % retention after 10,000 cycles. These results significantly outperform those previously reported for paper-based counterparts. Overall, our work presents a facile and versatile strategy for assembling high-loading, paper-based flexible supercapacitors network architecture that can be employed in developing large-scale energy storage devices.

Abstract
An electrochemical capacitor configuration extends its operational potential window by leveraging diverse charge storage mechanisms on the positive and negative electrodes. Beyond harnessing capacitive, pseudocapacitive, or Faradaic energy storage mechanisms and enhancing electrochemical performance at high rates, achieving a balance of stored charge across electrodes poses a significant challenge over a wide range of charge-discharge currents or sweep rates. Consequently, fabricating hybrid and asymmetric supercapacitors demands precise electrochemical evaluations of electrode materials and the development of a reliable methodology. This work provides an overview of fundamental aspects related to charge-storage mechanisms and electrochemical methods, aiming to discern the contribution of each process. Subsequently, the electrochemical properties, including the working potential windows, rate capability profiles, and stabilities, of various families of electrode materials are explored. It is then demonstrated, how charge balancing between electrodes falters across a broad range of charge-discharge currents or sweep rates. Finally, a methodology for achieving charge balance in hybrid and asymmetric supercapacitors is proposed, outlining multiple conditions dependent on loaded mass and charge-discharge current. Two step-by-step tutorials and model examples for applying this methodology are also provided. The proposed methodology is anticipated to stimulate continued dialogue among researchers, fostering advancements in achieving stable and high-performance supercapacitor devices.

Developments in conducting polymer-, metal oxide-, and carbon nanotube-based composite electrode materials for supercapacitors: a review. RSC Adv 2024; 14:9406-9439. [PMID: 38516158 PMCID: PMC10951819 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra08312h] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2023] [Accepted: 03/05/2024] [Indexed: 03/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Supercapacitors are the latest development in the field of energy storage devices (ESDs). A lot of research has been done in the last few decades to increase the performance of supercapacitors. The electrodes of supercapacitors are modified by composite materials based on conducting polymers, metal oxide nanoparticles, metal-organic frameworks, covalent organic frameworks, MXenes, chalcogenides, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), etc. In comparison to rechargeable batteries, supercapacitors have advantages such as quick charging and high power density. This review is focused on the progress in the development of electrode materials for supercapacitors using composite materials based on conducting polymers, graphene, metal oxide nanoparticles/nanofibres, and CNTs. Moreover, we investigated different types of ESDs as well as their electrochemical energy storage mechanisms and kinetic aspects. We have also discussed the classification of different types of SCs; advantages and drawbacks of SCs and other ESDs; and the use of nanofibres, carbon, CNTs, graphene, metal oxide-nanofibres, and conducting polymers as electrode materials for SCs. Furthermore, modifications in the development of different types of SCs such as pseudo-capacitors, hybrid capacitors, and electrical double-layer capacitors are discussed in detail; both electrolyte-based and electrolyte-free supercapacitors are taken into consideration. This review will help in designing and fabricating high-performance supercapacitors with high energy density and power output, which will act as an alternative to Li-ion batteries in the future.

Abstract
Creating polymers that combine various functions within a single system expands the potential applications of such polymeric materials. However, achieving polymer materials that possess simultaneously elevated strength, toughness, and self-healing capabilities, along with special properties, remains a significant challenge. The present study demonstrates the preparation of S and Mo codoped graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) (Mo@S-CN) nanohybrid and the fabrication of self-healing waterborne polyurethane (SHWPU)/Mo@S-CN (SHWPU/NS) nanocomposites for advanced applications. Mo@S-CN is an intriguing combination of g-C3N4 nanosheets and molybdenum oxide (MoOx) nanorods, forming a complex lamellar structure. This unique arrangement significantly improves the inborn properties of SHWPU to an impressive degree, especially mechanical strength (28.37-34.11 MPa), fracture toughness (73.65-140.98 MJ m-2), and thermal stability (340.17-348.01 °C), and introduces fluorescence activity into the matrix. Interestingly, a representative SHWPU/NS0.5 film is so tough that a dumbbell of 15 kg, which is 53,003 times heavier than the weight of the film, can be successfully lifted without any significant crack. Remarkably, fluorescence activity is developed because of electronic excitations occurring within the repeating polymeric tris-triazine units of the Mo@S-CN nanohybrid. This fascinating feature was effectively harnessed by assessing the usability of aqueous dispersions of the Mo@S-CN nanohybrid and photoluminescent SHWPU/NS nanocomposites as sustainable stains for bioimaging of human dermal fibroblast cells and anticounterfeiting materials, respectively. The in vitro fluorescence tagging test showed blue emission from 365 nm excitation, green emission from 470 nm excitation, and red emission from 545 nm excitation. Most importantly, in vitro hemocompatibility assessment, in vitro cytocompatibility, cell proliferation assessment, and cellular morphology assessment supported the biocompatibility nature of the Mo@S-CN nanohybrid and SHWPU/NS nanocomposites. Thus, these materials can be used for advanced applications including bioimaging.

Abstract
The development of advanced magnesium metal batteries (MMBs) has been hindered by longstanding challenges, such as the inability to induce uniform magnesium (Mg) nucleation and the inefficient utilization of Mg foil. This study introduces a novel solution in the form of a flexible, lightweight, paper-based scaffold that incorporates gradient conductivity, magnesiophilicity, and pore size. This design is achieved through an industrially adaptable papermaking process in which the ratio of carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes to softwood cellulose fibers is meticulously adjusted. The triple-gradient structure of the scaffold enables the regulation of Mg ion flux, promoting bottom-up Mg deposition. Owing to its high flexibility, low thickness, and reduced density, the scaffold has potential applications in flexible and wearable electronics. Accordingly, the triple-gradient electrodes exhibit stable operation for over 1200 h at 3 mA cm-2 /3 mAh cm-2 in symmetrical cells, markedly outperforming the non-gradient and metallic Mg alternatives. Notably, this study marks the first successful fabrication of a flexible MMB pouch full cell, achieving an impressive volumetric energy density of 244 Wh L-1 . The simplicity and scalability of the triple-gradient design, which uses readily available materials through an industrially compatible papermaking process, open new doors for the production of flexible, high-energy-density metal batteries.

Abstract
Flexible electronic devices, such as supercapacitors (SCs), place high demands on the mechanical properties, ionic conductivity, and electrochemical stability of electrolytes. Hydrogels, which combine flexibility and the advantages of both solid and liquid electrolytes, will meet the demand. Here, we report the synthesis of novel poly(ionic liquid)/polyacrylamide double-network (DN) (PIL/PAM DN) hydrogel electrolytes containing different metal salts via a two-step γ-radiation method. The resultant Li2SO4-1.0/PIL/PAM DN hydrogel electrolyte possesses excellent mechanical properties (tensile strength of 3.64 MPa, elongation at break of 446%) and high ionic conductivity (24.1 mS·cm-1). The corresponding flexible SC based on the Li2SO4-1.0/PIL/PAM DN hydrogel electrolyte (SC-Li2SO4) presents improved ion diffusion, ideal electrochemical double-layer capacitor behavior, good rate capability, and excellent cyclic stability. Moreover, symmetric SC-Li2SO4 achieves a wide operating voltage range of up to 1.5 V, with a maximum energy density of 26.0 W h·kg-1 and a capacitance retention of 94.1% after 10,000 galvanostatic charge-discharge cycles, owing to the deactivation of free water molecules by the synergistic effect of PIL, PAM, and SO42-. Above all, the capacitance of SC-Li2SO4 is well-maintained after overcharge, overdischarge, short circuit, extreme temperature, compression, and bending tests, indicating its high security and flexibility. This work reveals the enormous application potential of PIL-based conductive hydrogel electrolytes for flexible electronic devices.

Abstract
Over the years, researchers have made significant strides in the development of novel flexible/stretchable and conductive materials, enabling the creation of cutting-edge electronic devices for wearable applications. Among these, porous conductive textiles (PCTs) have emerged as an ideal material platform for wearable electronics, owing to their light weight, flexibility, permeability, and wearing comfort. This Review aims to present a comprehensive overview of the progress and state of the art of utilizing PCTs for the design and fabrication of a wide variety of wearable electronic devices and their integrated wearable systems. To begin with, we elucidate how PCTs revolutionize the form factors of wearable electronics. We then discuss the preparation strategies of PCTs, in terms of the raw materials, fabrication processes, and key properties. Afterward, we provide detailed illustrations of how PCTs are used as basic building blocks to design and fabricate a wide variety of intrinsically flexible or stretchable devices, including sensors, actuators, therapeutic devices, energy-harvesting and storage devices, and displays. We further describe the techniques and strategies for wearable electronic systems either by hybridizing conventional off-the-shelf rigid electronic components with PCTs or by integrating multiple fibrous devices made of PCTs. Subsequently, we highlight some important wearable application scenarios in healthcare, sports and training, converging technologies, and professional specialists. At the end of the Review, we discuss the challenges and perspectives on future research directions and give overall conclusions. As the demand for more personalized and interconnected devices continues to grow, PCT-based wearables hold immense potential to redefine the landscape of wearable technology and reshape the way we live, work, and play.

Abstract
The use of electrically conductive polymers (CPs) in the development of electronic devices has attracted significant interest due to their unique intrinsic properties, which result from the synergistic combination of physicochemical properties in conventional polymers with the electronic properties of metals or semiconductors. Most conventional methods adopted for the fabrication of devices with nonplanar morphologies are still challenged by the poor ionic/electronic mobility of end products. Additive manufacturing (AM) brings about exciting prospects to the realm of CPs by enabling greater design freedom, more elaborate structures, quicker prototyping, relatively low cost, and more environmentally friendly electronic device creation. A growing variety of AM technologies are becoming available for three-dimensional (3D) printing of conductive devices, i.e., vat photopolymerization (VP), material extrusion (ME), powder bed fusion (PBF), material jetting (MJ), and lamination object manufacturing (LOM). In this review, we provide an overview of the recent research progress in the area of CPs developed for AM, which advances the design and development of future electronic devices. We consider different AM techniques, vis-à-vis, their development progress and respective challenges in printing CPs. We also discuss the material requirements and notable advances in 3D printing of CPs, as well as their potential electronic applications including wearable electronics, sensors, energy storage and conversion devices, etc. This review concludes with an outlook on AM of CPs.

Enhancing Interfacial Capacitance by Boron Doping in Vertically Porous Carbon Toward High-Performance AC Filtering Electrochemical Capacitors. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024:e2310523. [PMID: 38295042 DOI: 10.1002/smll.202310523] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2023] [Revised: 01/13/2024] [Indexed: 02/02/2024]
Abstract
Electrochemical capacitors (ECs) show great perspective in alternate current (AC) filtering once they simultaneously reach ultra-fast response and high capacitance density. Nevertheless, the structure-design criteria of the two key properties are often mutually incompatible in electrode construction. Herein, it is proposed that combining vertically oriented porous carbon with enhanced interfacial capacitance (Ci ) can efficiently solve this issue. Theoretically, the density function theory calculation shows that the Ci of a carbon electrode can be enhanced by boron doping due to the corresponding compact induced charge layer. Experimentally, the vertical-oriented boron-doped graphene nanowalls (BGNWs) electrodes, whose Ci is enhanced from 4.20 to 10.16 µF cm-2 upon boron doping, are prepared on a large scale (480 cm2 ) using a hot-filament chemical vapor deposition technique (HFCVD). Owing to the high Ci and vertically oriented porous structure, BGNWs-based EC has a high capacitance density of 996 µF cm-2 with a phase angle of - 79.4° at 120 Hz in aqueous electrolyte and a high energy density of 1953 µFV2 cm-2 in organic electrolyte. As a result, the EC is capable of smoothing 120 Hz ripples for 60 Hz AC filtering. These results provide enlightening insights on designing high-performance ECs for high-frequency applications.

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 14:229.

Abstract
A dual-band electrochromic supercapacitor device (DESCD) can be driven by an external power supply to modulate solar radiation, which is a promising energy-saving strategy and has broad application prospects in smart windows. However, traditional power supplies, such as batteries, supercapacitors, etc., usually face limited lifetimes and potential environmental issues. Hence, we propose a self-powered DESCD based on TiO2/WO3 dual-band electrochromic material and a ternary dielectric rotating triboelectric nanogenerator (TDR-TENG). The TDR-TENG can convert mechanical energy from the environment into electrical energy to obtain a high output of 840 V, 23.9 µA, and 327 nC. The as-prepared TDR-TENG can drive the TiO2/WO3 film to store energy with a high dual-band modulation amplitude of 41.6% in the visible (VIS) region and 84% in the near-infrared (NIR) region, decreasing the indoor-outdoor light-heat interaction and thereby reducing the building energy consumption. The self-powered DESCD demonstrated in this study has multiple functions of energy harvesting, energy storage, and energy saving, providing a promising strategy for the development of self-powered smart windows.

Abstract
Developing wearable supercapacitors (SCs) with high stretchability, arbitrary deformability, and antifreezing ability is still a challenge. In the present work, an ultrahigh-ionic-conductivity, antifreezing poly(amidoxime)-graft-polyzwitterion (PAO-g-PSBMA) hydrogel electrolyte is fabricated by grafting PSBMA in PAO. Owing to the abundant hydrophilic and high ionic adsorption capacity of amidoxime groups in PAO and zwitterion groups in PSBMA, the as-prepared PAO-g-PSBMA hydrogel can facilitate the dissociation of lithium salt and exhibit an ultrahigh ionic conductivity of 29.8 S m-1 at 25 °C and 3.4 S m-1 even at -30 °C. Employing mATi3C2Tx and mSTi3C2Tx, which contain small amounts of PAO-AGE and PAO-g-PSBMA dispersions, respectively, coated onto both sides of the PAO-g-PSBMA hydrogel, we followed a thermal treatment to facilely form integrated stretchable flexible SCs. The as-prepared SCs show an outstanding recoverable tensile stain of 80% and an excellent electrochemical stability under many types and times of arbitrary deformation. More importantly, as-prepared mATi3C2Tx- and mSTi3C2Tx-based SCs present fantastic antifreezing ability and excellent stability with 74.6 and 78.3% retention of the initial capacitance, respectively, even after 1000 times of stretching to 60% at -30 °C. This work offers a new strategy of using PAO-grafted polyzwitterion for obtaining an antifreezing stretchable SC, which shows a high potential for application in next-generation integrated stretchable devices in various fields.

Abstract
In this work, a series of urchin-like Ce(HCOO)3 nanoclusters were synthesized via a facile and scalable microwave-assisted method by varying the irradiation time, and the structure-property relationship was investigated. The optimization of the reaction time was performed based on structural characterizations and electrochemical performances, and the Ce(HCOO)3-210 s sample shows a specific capacitance as high as 132 F g-1 at a current density of 1 A g-1. This is due to the optimal mesoporous hierarchical structure and crystallinity that are beneficial to its conductivity, offering abundant Ce3+/Ce4+ active sites and facilitating the transportation of electrolyte ions. Moreover, an asymmetric supercapacitor based on Ce(HCOO)3//AC was fabricated, which delivers a maximum energy density of 14.78 Wh kg-1 and a considerably high power density of 15,168 W kg-1. After 10,000 continuous charge-discharge cycles at 3 A g-1, the ASC device retains 81.3% of its initial specific capacitance. The excellent comprehensive electrochemical performance of this urchin-like Ce(HCOO)3 offers significant promise for practical supercapacitor applications.

Abstract
Protonation has been considered essential for the pseudocapacitive energy storage of polyaniline (PANI) for years, as proton doping in PANI chains not only activates electron transport pathways, but also promotes the proceeding of redox reactions. Rarely has the ability for PANI of storing energy without protonation been investigated, and it remains uncertain whether PANI has pseudocapacitive charge storage properties in an alkaline electrolyte. Here, this work first demonstrates the pseudocapacitive energy storage for PANI without protonation using a PANI/graphene composite as a model material in an alkaline electrolyte. Using in situ Raman spectroscopy coupled with electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) measurements, this work determines the formation of -N= group over potential on a PANI chain and demonstrates the direct contribution of OH- in the nonprotonation type of oxidation reactions. This work finds that the PANI/graphene composite in an alkaline electrolyte has excellent cycling stability with a wider operation voltage of 1 V as well as a slightly higher specific capacitance than that in an acidic electrolyte. The findings provide a new perspective on pseudocapacitive energy storage of PANI-based composites, which will influence the selection of electrolytes for PANI materials and expand their application in energy storage fields.

Abstract
As a robust and conductive substrate, carbon cloth (CC) has been modified with various pseudocapacitive materials to boost its electrochemical performance in flexible supercapacitors. Here, poly(1,5-diaminoanthraquinone) (PDAA) electrodeposited CC electrodes were developed and much higher areal specific capacitance was obtained in comparison with the functionalized CC (FCC). Most importantly, an unusual phenomenon of "improving with using" was found for the optimized one, FCC@PDAA-3, which exhibited the increased capacitance retention from 150.4% to 194.8% with increasing the number of cycles from 10,000 to 50,000. Such extraordinary cyclic life was mainly ascribed to the doping and electropolymerization of the encapsulated 1,5-diaminoanthraquinone (DAA) in the immobilized PDAA during the electrochemical cycles. These findings are expected to contribute to a deeper understanding of the pseudocapacitive materials evolution during long charging/discharging cycles, favoring the design of long-life supercapacitors for practical application.

Abstract
Current aqueous supercapacitors (SCs) possess the relative low energy density, and there is therefore widespread interest in cost-effective fabrication of capacitive materials with promoted specific capacitance and/or broadened voltage window. Here, a redox-active azure C-decorated N-doped graphene aerogel (AC - NGA) is fabricated using a simple hydrothermal self-assembly method through strong noncovalent π-π interaction. AC - NGA highlights an excellent charge storage performance (a high 591F g-1 gravimetric capacitance under a current density of 1.0 A g-1 and ultrahigh voltage window of 2.3 V) under pH-universal conditions. The capacitive contribution of charge storage is 91.7%, exceeding or comparable to those of the best pseudocapacitors known. Furthermore, a symmetric AC - NGA//AC - NGA device realizes high energy and power densities (15.2-60.2 Wh kg-1 at 650-23,000 W kg-1) and excellent cycling stability in acidic, neutral, and basic aqueous solutions. This work offers a cost-effective strategy to combine redox dye molecules with heteroatom-doped graphene aerogel for building green efficient pH-universal aqueous supercapacitors.

Abstract
Flexible power supply devices provide possibilities for wearable electronics in the Internet of Things. However, unsatisfying capacity or lifetime of typical batteries or capacitors seriously limit their practical applications. Different from conventional heat-to-electricity generators, zinc ion thermal charging cells has been a competitive candidate for the self-power supply solution, but the lack of promising cathode materials has restricted the achievement of promising performances. Herein, we propose an attractive cathode material by rational heterostructure engineering of hydrated vanadium pentoxide. Owing to the integration of thermodiffusion and thermoextraction effects, the thermopower is significantly improved from 7.8 ± 2.6 mV K-1 to 23.4 ± 1.5 mV K-1. Moreover, an impressive normalized power density of 1.9 mW m-2 K-2 is achieved in the quasi-solid-state cells. In addition, a wearable power supply constructed by three units can drive the commercial health monitoring system by harvesting body heat. This work demonstrates the effectiveness of electrodes design for wearable thermoelectric applications.

Abstract
Here, by introducing polystyrenesulfonate (PSS) as a multifunctional bridging molecule to synchronously coordinate the interaction between the precursor and the structure-directing agent, we developed a mesoporous conductive polymer of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) featuring adjustable size in the range of 105-1836 nm, open nanochannels, large specific surface area (105.5 m2 g-1), and high electrical conductivity (172.9 S cm-1). Moreover, a large-area ultrathin PEDOT:PSS thin film with well-defined mesopores can also be obtained by controllable growth on various functional interfaces. As an example, we demonstrated that the iodine-loaded mesoporous PEDOT:PSS nanospheres can serve as a promising cathode for aqueous zinc-iodine batteries with high specific capacity (241 mAh g-1), excellent rate performance, and superlong 20,000 cycle life. In-depth theoretical calculations and systematic experimental results together reveal that the exposed sulfur- and oxygen-containing functional groups hold strong interactions with iodine species, resulting in effectively anchoring iodine species and inhibiting the shuttling of polyiodide intermediates, thus ensuring the long-term stability of the batteries. This work introduces a member to the family of mesoporous materials as well as porous polymers with versatile applications.

Abstract
The electrochemical performance of the carbon cloth (CC)-based electrodes is determined by the kind, content, morphology, and size of the modified pseudocapacitive materials, as well as the interaction with CC. Also, such structural parameters were mainly dependent on the deposition condition. More uniform polyaniline (PANI) could be obtained by electrochemical polymerization in comparison to chemical oxidation polymerization. However, two steps of electrodeposition were usually needed for nucleation and growth. Here, based on the comprehensive optimization of the electrodeposition condition, well-defined PANI nanorods anchored on the functionalized carbon cloth (FCC) as flexible electrodes (FCC@PANI) were synthesized by a facile one-step electrochemical polymerization. Compared with the FCC electrode, the resultant FCC@PANI-4 sample possessed good cycling stability (98.3% capacitance retention after 10,000 cycles), higher specific capacitances of 2312 mF cm-2 (1.0 mA cm-2) and 107 F g-1 (1.0 A g-1) with the boosting ratio in the areal specific capacitance (CA), and mass specific capacitances (Cm) of 169 and 181%, respectively. The improvement in both specific capacitance and cycling stability was obtained by the strong interaction between the FCC and the modified PANI nanorods with enhanced utilization efficiency of electroactive materials. Furthermore, the symmetric solid-state device assembled using the FCC@PANI-4 electrode delivered a maximum energy density of 0.079 mWh cm-2 at a power density of 0.363 mW cm-2.

Abstract
Recently, polymers capable of repeatedly self-healing physical damage and restoring mechanical properties have attracted extensive attention. Among the various supramolecular chemistry, hydrogen-bonding (H-bonding) featuring reversibility, directionality and high per-volume concentration has become one of the most attractive directions for the development of self-healing polymers (SHPs). Herein, we review the recent advances in the design of high-performance SHPs based on different H-bonding types, for example, H-bonding motifs and excessive H-bonding. In particular, the effects of the structural design of SHPs on their mechanical performance and healing efficiency are discussed in detail. Moreover, we also summarize how to employ H-bonding-based SHPs for the preparation of self-healable electronic devices, focusing on promising topics, including energy harvesting devices, energy storage devices, and flexible sensing devices. Finally, the current challenges and possible strategies for the development of H-bonding-based SHPs and their smart electronic applications are highlighted.

Constructing Interconnected Microporous Structures in Carbon by Homogeneous Activation as a Sustainable Electrode Material for High-Performance Supercapacitors. Molecules 2023; 28:6851.

Abstract
Microporous carbon attracts attention as an electrode material for supercapacitors. However, a large number of deep and distorted mesoporous and macroporous structures are usually created by non-uniform etching, resulting in underutilized internal space. Homogeneous activation has been considered by researchers as a necessary condition for the formation of interconnected microporous structures in carbon materials. Herein, a simple strategy of hydrothermal introduction of defects followed by homogeneous activation for the preparation of microporous carbon was developed for the synthesis of electrode materials for high-performance supercapacitors. The optimized sample with defect-enriched microporous structure and large specific surface area has a specific capacity of 315 F g-1 (1 A g-1) in KOH solution, and the assembled symmetric supercapacitor achieves a high energy density of 7.3 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 250 W kg-1. This work is interesting because it not only demonstrates that rational design of electrode materials is important to boost the performance of supercapacitors, but also provides inspiration for the design of efficient supercapacitors in the future.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202309614.

Abstract
Conducting polymers with high theoretical capacitance and deformability are among the optimal candidates for compressible supercapacitor electrode materials. However, achieving both mechanical and electrochemical stabilities in a single electrode remains a great challenge. To address this issue, the "Polymer Chainmail" is proposed with reversible deformation capability and enhances stability because of the steric hindrance and charge compensation effect of doped anions. As a proof of concept, four common anions are selected as dopants for Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT), and their effects on the adsorption and diffusion of H+ on PEDOT are verified using density functional theory calculations. Owing to the film formation effect, thePF 6 - ${{\rm{PF}}_6^- }$ doped PEDOT/nitrogen-doped carbon foam exhibits good mechanical properties. Furthermore, the composite demonstrates excellent rate performance and stability due to suitable anion doping. This finding provides new insights into the preparation of electrochemically stable conductive polymer-based compressible electrode materials.

Abstract
Creating more pleated and collapsed structures for carbon-based electrode materials is an important measure to enhance the performance of supercapacitors. Herein, a polymer formed by the aldimine reaction of terephthalaldehyde and aminopropyltriethoxysilane was utilized as the carbon source, and tetraethoxysilane was added as a silica additive to achieve the wrinkled structure on hollow carbon spheres. The silica had a significant modulating effect on the structure of the obtained wrinkled hollow carbon sphere (WHCS), which displayed a visible pleated structure, hollow structure, high specific surface area, and pore volume. As an electrode material for supercapacitors, WHCS exhibits excellent performance with a capacitance of 312 F ⋅ g-1 and remarkable cycle life stability, demonstrating its great potential for use in supercapacitors.

Abstract
In response to the current trend of miniaturization of electronic devices and sensors, the complementary coupling of high-efficiency energy conversion and low-loss energy storage technologies has given rise to the development of photocapacitors (PCs), which combine energy conversion and storage in a single device. Photovoltaic systems integrated with supercapacitors offer unique light conversion and storage capabilities, resulting in improved overall efficiency over the past decade. Consequently, researchers have explored a wide range of device combinations, materials, and characterization techniques. This review provides a comprehensive overview of photocapacitors, including their configurations, operating mechanisms, manufacturing techniques, and materials, with a focus on emerging applications in small wireless devices, Internet of Things (IoT), and Internet of Everything (IoE). Furthermore, we highlight the importance of cutting-edge materials such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and organic materials for supercapacitors, as well as novel materials in photovoltaics, in advancing PCs for a carbon-free, sustainable society. We also evaluate the potential development, prospects, and application scenarios of this emerging area of research.

Abstract
Supercapacitors are essential for electrochemical energy storage because of their high-power density, good cycle stability, fast charging and discharging rates, and low maintenance cost. Macrocycles, including cucurbiturils, calixarene, and cyclodextrins, are cage-like organic compounds (with a nanocavity that contains O and N heteroatoms) with unique potential in supercapacitors. Here, we review the applications of macrocycles in supercapacitor systems, and we illustrate the merits of organic macrocycles in electrodes and electrolytes for improving the electrochemical double-layer capacitors and pseudocapacitance via supramolecular strategies. Then, the observed relationships between electrochemical performance and macrocyclic structures are introduced. This comprehensive review describes recent progress on macrocycle-block supercapacitors for researchers.

Abstract
Conducting polymers with conjugated backbones have been widely used in electrochemical energy storage, catalysts, gas sensors and biomedical devices. In particular, two-dimensional (2D) mesoporous conducting polymers combine the advantages of mesoporous structure and 2D nanosheet morphology with the inherent properties of conducting polymers, thus exhibiting improved electrochemical performance. Despite the use of bottom-up self-assembly approaches for the fabrication of a variety of mesoporous materials over the past decades, the synchronous control of the dimensionalities and mesoporous architectures for conducting polymer nanomaterials remains a challenge. Here, we detail a simple, general and robust route for the preparation of a series of 2D mesoporous conducting polymer nanosheets with adjustable pore size (5-20 nm) and thickness (13-45 nm) and controllable morphology and composition via solution-based self-assembly. The synthesis conditions and preparation procedures are detailed to ensure the reproducibility of the experiments. We describe the fabrication of over ten high-quality 2D-ordered mesoporous conducting polymers and sandwich-structured hybrids, with tunable thickness, porosity and large specific surface area, which can serve as potential candidates for high-performance electrode materials used in supercapacitors and alkali metal ion batteries, and so on. The preparation time of the 2D-ordered mesoporous conducting polymer is usually no more than 12 h. The subsequent supercapacitor testing takes ~24 h and the Na ion battery testing takes ~72 h. The procedure is suitable for users with expertise in physics, chemistry, materials and other related disciplines.

Abstract
As an emerging class of 2D materials, MXene exhibits broad prospects in the field of supercapacitors (SCs). However, the working voltage of MXene-based SCs is relatively limited (typically ≤ 0.6 V) due to the oxidation of MXene electrode and the decomposition of electrolyte, ultimately leading to low energy density of the device. To solve this issue, high-voltage MXene-based electrodes and corresponding matchable electrolytes are developed urgently to extend the voltage window of MXene-based SCs. Herein, a comprehensive overview and systematic discussion regarding the effects of electrolytes (aqueous, organic, and ionic liquid electrolytes), asymmetric device configuration, and material modification on the operating voltage of MXene-based SCs, is presented. A deep dive is taken into the latest advances in electrolyte design, structure regulation, and high-voltage mechanism of MXene-based SCs. Last, the future perspectives on high-voltage MXene-based SCs and their possible development directions are outlined and discussed in depth, providing new insights for the rational design and realization of advanced next-generation MXene-based electrodes and high-voltage electrolytes.

Jeong S, Oh J, Kim H, Bae J, Ko SH. Pattern design of a liquid metal-based wearable heater for constant heat generation under biaxial strain. iScience 2023; 26:107008. [PMID: 37332675 PMCID: PMC10275728 DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2023.107008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2023] [Revised: 05/05/2023] [Accepted: 05/26/2023] [Indexed: 06/20/2023] Open
Abstract
As the wearable heater is increasingly popular due to its versatile applications, there is a growing need to improve the tensile stability of the wearable heater. However, maintaining the stability and precise control of heating in resistive heaters for wearable electronics remains challenging due to multiaxial dynamic deformation with human motion. Here, we propose a pattern study for a circuit control system without complex structure or deep learning of the liquid metal (LM)-based wearable heater. The LM direct ink writing (DIW) method was used to fabricate the wearable heaters in various designs. Through the study about the pattern, the significance of input power per unit area for steady average temperature with tension was proven, and the directionality of the pattern was shown to be a factor that makes feedback control difficult due to the difference in resistance change according to strain direction. For this issue, a wearable heater with the same minimal resistance change regardless of the tension direction was developed using Peano curves and sinuous pattern structure. Lastly, by attaching to a human body model, the wearable heater with the circuit control system shows stable heating (52.64°C, with a standard deviation of 0.91°C) in actual motion.

Abstract
Flexible bioelectronics exhibit promising potential for health monitoring, owing to their soft and stretchable nature. However, the simultaneous improvement of mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and signal-to-noise ratio of these devices for health monitoring poses a significant challenge. Hydrogels, with their loose three-dimensional network structure that encapsulates massive amounts of water, are a potential solution. Through the incorporation of polymers or conductive fillers into the hydrogel and special preparation methods, hydrogels can achieve a unification of excellent properties such as mechanical properties, self-healing, adhesion, and biocompatibility, making them a hot material for health monitoring bioelectronics. Currently, hydrogel-based bioelectronics can be used to fabricate flexible bioelectronics for motion, bioelectric, and biomolecular acquisition for human health monitoring and further clinical applications. This review focuses on materials, devices, and applications for hydrogel-based bioelectronics. The main material properties and research advances of hydrogels for health monitoring bioelectronics are summarized firstly. Then, we provide a focused discussion on hydrogel-based bioelectronics for health monitoring, which are classified as skin-attachable, implantable, or semi-implantable depending on the depth of penetration and the location of the device. Finally, future challenges and opportunities of hydrogel-based bioelectronics for health monitoring are envisioned.

Abstract
Electrochemical behavior of novel electrode materials based on polydiphenylamine-2-carboxylic acid (PDPAC) binary and ternary nanocomposite coatings was studied for the first time. Nanocomposite materials were obtained in acidic or alkaline media using oxidative polymerization of diphenylamine-2-carboxylic acid (DPAC) in the presence of activated IR-pyrolyzed polyacrylonitrile (IR-PAN-a) only or IR-PAN-a and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT). Hybrid electrodes are electroactive layers of stable suspensions of IR-PAN-a/PDPAC and IR-PAN-a/SWCNT/PDPAC nanocomposites in formic acid (FA) formed on the flexible strips of anodized graphite foil (AGF). Specific capacitances of electrodes depend on the method for the production of electroactive coatings. Electrodes specific surface capacitances Cs reach 0.129 and 0.161 F∙cm-2 for AGF/IR-PAN-a/PDPACac and AGF/IR-PAN-a/SWCNT/PDPACac, while for AGF/IR-PAN-a/PDPACalk and AGF/IR-PAN-a/SWCNT/PDPACalk Cs amount to 0.135 and 0.151 F∙cm-2. Specific weight capacitances Cw of electrodes with ternary coatings reach 394, 283, 180 F∙g-1 (AGF/IR-PAN-a/SWCNT/PDPACac) and 361, 239, 142 F∙g-1 (AGF/IR-PAN-a/SWCNT/PDPACalk) at 0.5, 1.5, 3.0 mA·cm-2 in an aprotic electrolyte. Such hybrid electrodes with electroactive nanocomposite coatings are promising as a cathode material for SCs.

Abstract
Nanocomposites containing Ni or Co or NiCo alloy and nitrogen-doped carbon with diverse ratios have been prepared and utilized as active elements in supercapacitors. The atomic contents of nitrogen, nickel, and cobalt have been adjusted by the supplement amount of Ni and Co salts. In virtue of the excellent surface groups and rich redox active sites, the NC/NiCo active materials exhibit superior electrochemical charge-storage performances. Among these as-prepared active electrode materials, the NC/NiCo1/1 electrode performs better than other bimetallic/carbon electrodes and pristine metal/carbon electrodes. Several characterization methods, kinetic analyses, and nitrogen-supplement strategies determine the specific reason for this phenomenon. As a result, the better performance can be ascribed to a combination of factors including the high surface area and nitrogen content, proper Co/Ni ratio, and relatively low average pore size. The NC/NiCo electrode delivers a maximum capacity of 300.5 C g-1 and superior capacity retention of 92.30% after 3000 unceasing charge-discharge cycles. After assembling it into the battery-supercapacitor hybrid device, a high energy density of 26.6 Wh kg-1 (at 412 W kg-1 ) is achieved, comparable to the recent reports. Furthermore, this device can also power four light-emitting-diode (LED) demos, suggesting the potential practicability of these N-doped carbon compositing with bimetallic materials.

Abstract
Single-piece flexible supercapacitors (FSCs) have light and ultrathin superiorities, thereby having great potential in portable/wearable electronics. However, all the available single-piece FSCs are fabricated by in situ growth routes, which are incompatible with large-scale technology. This work designs a carboxymethyl cellulose/phytic acid/polyaniline ink, incorporating electrode with electrolyte active compositions. Based on the electrode/electrolyte active ink, a double-face print technique on mixed cellulose ester and nylon membranes to fabricate single-piece membrane-FSCs, where both sides of membranes can be utilized well, is proposed. Consequently, one FSC is measured to be only ≈0.785 cm2 in area, ≈0.021 g in weight, and ≈200 µm in thickness, while it has exceptional areal and volumetric capacitances up to 757 mF cm-2 and 37.8 F cm-3 , respectively, based on the entire device. It also exhibits high flexibility with a capacitance retention of 98% after 2000 bend cycles from 0° to 180°. The state-of-the-art FSCs are expected to have exciting prospects in portable/wearable electronics, smart reading, and flexible displays. The preparation strategy renders the massive production of large-area and mini-size arrayed FSCs, and also the "do-it-yourself" or homemade preparation, which adds more interest and designability for general users.

Abstract
The electrochemical behavior of new electrode materials based on poly-N-phenylanthranilic acid (P-N-PAA) composites with reduced graphene oxide (RGO) was studied for the first time. Two methods of obtaining RGO/P-N-PAA composites were suggested. Hybrid materials were synthesized via in situ oxidative polymerization of N-phenylanthranilic acid (N-PAA) in the presence of graphene oxide (GO) (RGO/P-N-PAA-1), as well as from a P-N-PAA solution in DMF containing GO (RGO/P-N-PAA-2). GO post-reduction in the RGO/P-N-PAA composites was carried out under IR heating. Hybrid electrodes are electroactive layers of RGO/P-N-PAA composites stable suspensions in formic acid (FA) deposited on the glassy carbon (GC) and anodized graphite foil (AGF) surfaces. The roughened surface of the AGF flexible strips provides good adhesion of the electroactive coatings. Specific electrochemical capacitances of AGF-based electrodes depend on the method for the production of electroactive coatings and reach 268, 184, 111 F∙g-1 (RGO/P-N-PAA-1) and 407, 321, 255 F∙g-1 (RGO/P-N-PAA-2.1) at 0.5, 1.5, 3.0 mA·cm-2 in an aprotic electrolyte. Specific weight capacitance values of IR-heated composite coatings decrease as compared to capacitance values of primer coatings and amount to 216, 145, 78 F∙g-1 (RGO/P-N-PAA-1IR) and 377, 291, 200 F∙g-1 (RGO/P-N-PAA-2.1IR). With a decrease in the weight of the applied coating, the specific electrochemical capacitance of the electrodes increases to 752, 524, 329 F∙g-1 (AGF/RGO/P-N-PAA-2.1) and 691, 455, 255 F∙g-1 (AGF/RGO/P-N-PAA-1IR).

Abstract
Transition-metal selenides (TMSs) have great potential in the synthesis of supercapacitor electrode materials due to their rich content and high specific capacity. However, the aggregation phenomenon of TMS materials in the process of charging and discharging will cause capacity attenuation, which seriously affects the service life and practical applications. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to design simple and efficient synthesis strategies to overcome these shortcomings. Hence, P-doped Cu3Se2 nanosheets are loaded on vertically aligned Cu2S nanorod arrays to synthesize CF/Cu2S@Cu3Se2/P nanocomposites with a unique core-shell heterostructure. Notably, the Cu2S precursors can be rapidly converted into Cu3Se2 nanorod arrays in situ in just 30 min at room temperature. The unique core-shell heterostructure effectively avoids the aggregation phenomenon, and the doped P elements further enhance the electrochemical properties of the electrode materials. Therefore, the as-prepared CF/Cu2S@Cu3Se2/P electrode exhibits a high areal capacitance of 5054 mF cm-2 (1099 C g-1) at 3 mA cm-2 and still retains 90.2% capacitance after 10 000 galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD) cycles. The asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) device assembled from synthetic CF/Cu2S@Cu3Se2/P and activated carbon (AC) possesses an energy density of 41.1 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 480.4 W kg-1. This work shows that the designed CF/Cu2S@Cu3Se2/P electrode has broad application prospects in the field of electrochemical energy storage.

Abstract
Self-supporting electrode materials with the advantages of a simple operation process and the avoidance of the use any binders are promising candidates for supercapacitors. In this work, carbon-based self-supporting electrode materials with nanosheets grown on Al foil were prepared by combining hydrothermal reaction and the one-step chemical vapor deposition method. The effect of the concentration of the reaction solution on the structures as well as the electrochemical performance of the prepared samples were studied. With the increase in concentration, the nanosheets of the samples became dense and compact. The CNS-120 obtained from a 120 mmol zinc nitrate aqueous solution exhibited excellent electrochemical performance. The CNS-120 displayed the highest areal capacitance of 6.82 mF cm-2 at the current density of 0.01 mA cm-2. Moreover, the CNS-120 exhibited outstanding rate performance with an areal capacitance of 3.07 mF cm-2 at 2 mA cm-2 and good cyclic stability with a capacitance retention of 96.35% after 5000 cycles. Besides, the CNS-120 possessed an energy density of 5.9 μWh cm-2 at a power density of 25 μW cm-2 and still achieved 0.3 μWh cm-2 at 4204 μW cm-2. This work provides simple methods to prepared carbon-based self-supporting materials with low-cost Al foil and demonstrates their potential for realistic application of supercapacitors.
