Abstract
Multiple oxidation-state metal oxide has presented a promising charge storage capability for aqueous supercapacitors (SCs); however, the ion insert/deinsert behavior in the bulk phase generally gives a sluggish reaction kinetic and considerable volume effect. Herein, iron oxide/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (Fe2O3/PEDOT) heterointerface was constructed and enabled boosted Faradaic pseudocapacitance by dual-ion-involved redox reactions in Na2SO3 electrolytes. The Fe2O3/PEDOT interface served as a "bridge" to couple electrode and anion SO32- and exhibited a strong force and stable bonding with SO32-, thus providing an additional Faradaic charge storage contribution for SCs. Significantly, the PEDOT-capsulated Fe2O3 nanorod array (Fe2O3@PEDOT) electrode presented a specific capacitance of 338 mF cm-2 at 1 mA cm-2 with 1 M Na2SO3 electrolyte, which was twice that of the pristine Fe2O3 nanorod electrode. The boosted interfaced Faradaic reaction of SO32- partially hindered the intercalation of Na+ in the Fe2O3 bulk phase, efficiently favoring the electrochemical stability.
