Abstract
Flexible supercapacitors can potentially power next-generation flexible electronics. However, the mechanical and electrochemical stability of flexible supercapacitors under different flexible conditions is limited by the weak bonding between adjacent layers, posing a significant hindrance to their practical applicability. Herein, based on the uninterrupted 3D network during the growth of bacterial cellulose (BC), a flexible all-in-one supercapacitor is cultivated through a continuous biosynthesis process. This strategy ensures the continuity of the 3D network of BC throughout the material, thereby forming a continuous electrode-separator-electrode structure. Benefitting from this bioinspired structure, the all-in-one supercapacitor not only achieves a high areal capacitance (3.79 F cm-2) of electrodes but also demonstrates the integration of high tensile strength (2.15 MPa), high shear strength (more than 54.6 kPa), and high bending resistance, indicating a novel pathway toward high-performance flexible power sources.

Abstract
Hydrogel-based supercapacitors are an up-and-coming candidate for safe and portable energy storage. However, it is challenging for hydrogel electrolytes to achieve high conductivity and rapid self-healing at subzero temperatures because the movements of polymer chains and the reconstruction capability of broken dynamic bonds are limited. Herein, a highly conductive proton polyacrylamide-phytic acid (PAAm-PA) hydrogel electrolyte with rapid and autonomous self-healing ability and excellent adhesion over a wide temperature range is developed. PA, as a proton donor center, endows the hydrogels with high conductivity (102.0 mS cm-1) based on the Grotthuss mechanism. PA can also prevent the crystallization of water and form multiple reversible hydrogen bonds in the polymer network, which solves the dysfunction of self-healing hydrogels in a cryogenic environment. Accordingly, the hydrogel electrolytes demonstrate fast low-temperature self-healing ability with a self-healing efficiency of 79.4% within 3 h at -20 °C. In addition, the hydrogel electrolytes present outstanding adhesiveness on electrodes due to the generation of hydrogen bonds between PA and activated carbon electrodes. As a result, the integrated hydrogel-based supercapacitors with tight bonding electrode/electrolyte interface deliver a 139.5 mF cm-2 specific capacitance at 25 °C. Moreover, the supercapacitors display superb self-healing ability, achieving 92.1% of capacitance recovery after three cutting-healing cycles at -20 °C. Furthermore, the supercapacitors demonstrate only 6.4% capacitance degradation after 5000 charging-discharging cycles at -20 °C. This work provides a roadmap for designing all-in-one flexible energy storage devices with excellent self-healing ability over a wide temperature range.

Abstract
The fabrication of solid-state proton-conducting electrolytes possessing both high performance and long-life reusability is significant but challenging. An "all-in-one" composite, H3PO4@PyTFB-1-SO3H, including imidazole, sulfonic acid, and phosphoric acid, which are essential for proton conduction, was successfully prepared by chemical post-modification and physical loading in the rationally pre-synthesized imidazole-based nanoporous covalent organic framework (COF), PyTFB-1. The resultant H3PO4@PyTFB-1-SO3H exhibits superhigh proton conductivity with its value even highly up to 1.15 × 10-1 S cm-1 at 353 K and 98% relative humidity (RH), making it one of the highest COF-based composites reported so far under the same conditions. Experimental studies and theoretical calculations further confirmed that the imidazole and sulfonic acid groups have strong interactions with the H3PO4 molecules and the synergistic effect of these three groups dramatically improves the proton conductivity properties of H3PO4@PyTFB-1-SO3H. This work demonstrated that by aggregating multiple proton carriers into one composite, effective proton-conducting electrolyte can be feasibly achieved.

Abstract
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been regarded as emerging materials in various applications. However, the range of biomedical applications is limited due to the aggregation and potential toxicity of powder-type CNTs. To overcome these issues, techniques to assemble them into various macroscopic structures, such as one-dimensional fibers, two-dimensional films, and three-dimensional aerogels, have been developed. Among them, carbon nanotube fiber (CNTF) is a one-dimensional aggregate of CNTs, which can be used to solve the potential toxicity problem of individual CNTs. Furthermore, since it has unique properties due to the one-dimensional nature of CNTs, CNTF has beneficial potential for biomedical applications. This review summarizes the biomedical applications using CNTF, such as the detection of biomolecules or signals for biosensors, strain sensors for wearable healthcare devices, and tissue engineering for regenerating human tissues. In addition, by considering the challenges and perspectives of CNTF for biomedical applications, the feasibility of CNTF in biomedical applications is discussed.

Abstract
In this work, nickel-catecholate (Ni-CAT) nanorods were in situ compounded on graphene oxide (GO) to form a composite Ni-CAT@GO (NCG) with a special "blanket-shape" structure, which was used as an electrode material for supercapacitors. The morphology of Ni-CATs in situ grown on GO was modulated by introducing various contents of GO. With increasing GO, the length of nanorods of Ni-CATs is obviously shortened, and the charge transfer resistance of NCG is significantly reduced as the GO content is relatively low while it increases with further addition of GO, because excessive GO in NCG results in smaller crystal sizes accompanied by smaller stacking pores. Both the over-long Ni-CAT nanorods and the smaller stacking pores can restrict the accessible surface areas for the electrolyte. Optimal nanorod sizes are crucial to achieve good electrochemical performance for electrode materials. Galvanostatic charge-discharge analysis of NCG electrodes shows that their capacity initially increases and then decreases with the addition of more and more GO, and Ni-CAT@GO-0.5 (NCG0.5) with minimal charge transfer resistance exhibits the best electrochemical performance. The results demonstrate that the NCG0.5 electrode with optimal morphology possesses an excellent capacitance of 563.8 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 and a good rate performance of 61.9% at 10 A g-1, indicating that Ni-CAT@GO is a new type of promising electrode material for supercapacitors based on conductive metal-organic frameworks.

Abstract
E-textiles, also known as electronic textiles, seamlessly merge wearable technology with fabrics, offering comfort and unobtrusiveness and establishing a crucial role in health monitoring systems. In this field, the integration of custom sensor designs with conductive polymers into various fabric types, especially in large areas, has presented significant challenges. Here, we present an innovative additive patterning method that utilizes a dual-regime spray system, eliminating the need for masks and allowing for the programmable inscription of sensor arrays onto consumer textiles. Unlike traditional spray techniques, this approach enables in situ, on-the-fly polymerization of conductive polymers, enabling intricate designs with submillimeter resolution across fabric areas spanning several meters. Moreover, it addresses the nozzle clogging issues commonly encountered in such applications. The resulting e-textiles preserve essential fabric characteristics such as breathability, wearability, and washability while delivering exceptional sensing performance. A comprehensive investigation, combining experimental, computational, and theoretical approaches, was conducted to examine the critical factors influencing the operation of the dual-regime spraying system and its role in e-textile fabrication. These findings provide a flexible solution for producing e-textiles on consumer fabric items and hold significant implications for a diverse range of wearable sensing applications.

Abstract
Flexible and green energy storage devices have a wide range of applications in prospective electronics and connected devices. In this study, a new eco-friendly bilayer separator and primary and secondary paper supercapacitors based on manganese dioxide (MnO2)/carbon black (CB) are developed. The bilayer separator is prepared via a two-step fabrication process involving freeze-thawing and nonsolvent-induced phase separation. The prepared bilayer separator exhibits superior porosity of 46%, wettability of 46.5°, and electrolyte uptake of 194% when compared with a Celgard 2320 trilayer separator (39%, 55.58°, and 110%). Moreover, lower bulk resistance yields a higher ionic conductivity of 0.52 mS cm-1 in comparison to 0.22 mS cm-1 for the Celgard separator. Furthermore, the bilayer separator exhibits improved mean efficiency of 0.44% and higher specific discharge capacitance of 13.53%. The anodic and cathodic electrodes are coated on a paper substrate using MnO2/CB and zinc metal-loaded CB composites. The paper supercapacitor demonstrates a high specific capacitance of 34.1 mF cm-2 and energy and power density of 1.70 μWh cm-2 and 204.8 μW cm-2 at 500 μA, respectively. In summary, the concept of an eco-friendly bilayer cellulose separator with paper-based supercapacitors offers an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional energy storage devices.

Abstract
Developing multifunctional materials from earth-abundant elements is urgently needed to satisfy the demand for sustainable energy. Herein, we demonstrate a facile approach for the preparation of a metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived Fe2O3/C, composited with N-doped reduced graphene oxide (MO-rGO). MO-rGO exhibits excellent bifunctional electrocatalytic activities toward the oxygen evolution reaction (ηj=10 = 273 mV) and the oxygen reduction reaction (half-wave potential = 0.77 V vs reversible hydrogen electrode) with a low ΔEOER-ORR of 0.88 V in alkaline solutions. A Zn-air battery based on the MO-rGO cathode displays a high specific energy of over 903 W h kgZn-1 (∼290 mW h cm-2), an excellent power density of 148 mW cm-2, and an open-circuit voltage of 1.430 V, outperforming the benchmark Pt/C + RuO2 catalyst. We also hydrothermally synthesized a Ni-MOF that was partially transformed into a Ni-Co-layered double hydroxide (MOF-LDH). A MO-rGO||MOF-LDH alkaline battery exhibits a specific energy of 42.6 W h kgtotal mass-1 (106.5 μW h cm-2) and an outstanding specific power of 9.8 kW kgtotal mass-1 (24.5 mW cm-2). This work demonstrates the potential of MOFs and MOF-derived compounds for designing innovative multifunctional materials for catalysis, electrochemical energy storage, and beyond.

Hierarchical Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):Poly(styrenesulfonate)/Reduced graphene oxide/Polypyrrole hybrid electrode with excellent rate capability and cycling stability for fiber-shaped supercapacitor. J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 636:245-254. [PMID: 36634394 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.01.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2022] [Revised: 12/08/2022] [Accepted: 01/04/2023] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
Fiber-shaped supercapacitor (FSSC) is considered as a promising energy storage device for wearable electronics due to its high power density and outstanding safety. However, it is still a great challenge to simultaneously achieve high specific capacitance especially at rapid charging/discharging rate and long-term cycling stability of fiber electrode in FSSC for practical application. Here, a ternary poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate)/reduced graphene oxide/polypyrrole (PEDOT:PSS/rGO/PPy) fiber electrode was constructed by in situ chemical polymerization of pyrrole on hydrothermally-assembled and acid-treated PEDOT:PSS/rGO (PG) hybrid hydrogel fiber. In this case, the porous PG hybrid fiber framework possesses combined advantages of highly-conductive PEDOT and flexible two-dimensional (2D) small-sized rGO sheets, which provides large surface area for the deposition of high-pseudocapacitance PPy, multiscale electrons/ions transport channels for the efficient utilization of active sites, and buffering layers to accommodate the structure change during electrochemical process. Attributed to the synergy, as-obtained ternary fiber electrode presents ultrahigh volumetric/areal specific capacitance (389 F cm-3 at 1 A cm-3 or 983 mF cm-2 at 2.5 mA cm-2) and outstanding rate performance (56 %, 1-20 A cm-3). In addition, 80 % preservation of initial capacitance after 8000 cycles for the corresponding FSSC also illustrates its greatly improved cycle stability compared with 64 % of binary PEDOT:PSS/PPy based counterpart. Accordingly, here proposed strategy promises a new opportunity to develop high-activity and durable electrode materials with potential applications in supercapacitor and beyond.

Abstract
The rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoTs) and proliferation of wearable electronics have significantly stimulated the pursuit of distributed power supply systems that are small and light. Accordingly, micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) have recently attracted tremendous research interest due to their high power density, good energy density, long cycling life, and rapid charge/discharge rate delivered in a limited volume and area. As an emerging class of electrochemical energy storage devices, MSCs using polyaniline (PANI) electrodes are envisaged to bridge the gap between carbonaceous MSCs and micro-batteries, leading to a high power density together with improved energy density. However, despite the intensive development of PANI-based MSCs in the past few decades, a comprehensive review focusing on the chemical properties and synthesis of PANI, working mechanisms, design principles, and electrochemical performances of MSCs is lacking. Thus, herein, we summarize the recent advances in PANI-based MSCs using a wide range of electrode materials. Firstly, the fundamentals of MSCs are outlined including their working principle, device design, fabrication technology, and performance metrics. Then, the working principle and synthesis methods of PANI are discussed. Afterward, MSCs based on various PANI materials including pure PANI, PANI hydrogel, and PANI composites are discussed in detail. Lastly, concluding remarks and perspectives on their future development are presented. This review can present new ideas and give rise to new opportunities for the design of high-performance miniaturized PANI-based MSCs that underpin the sustainable prosperity of the approaching IoTs era.

Abstract
In the development of energy supply systems for smart wearable devices, supercapacitors stand out owing to their ability of quick and efficient energy supply. However, their application is limited due to their low energy density and poor mechanical energy. Herein, a strategy for the preparation of flexible supercapacitors is reported, which is based on the fabrication of aerogel films by simultaneously utilising cellulose nanofiber (CNFs) as an MXene intercalation material and polyaniline (PANI) as a template material. CNFs, which can form hydrogen-bonded networks, enhance the mechanical properties of MXene from 44.25 to 119.56 MPa, and the high electron transport properties of PANI endow MXene with a capacitance of 327 F g-1 and a resistance of 0.23 Ω. Furthermore, the combination of CNFs and PANI enables a 71.6% capacitance retention after 3000 charge/discharge and 500 folding cycles. This work provides a new platform for the development of flexible supercapacitors.
