文摘The advancement of planar micro-supercapacitors(PMSCs)for micro-electromechanical systems(MEMS)has been significantly hindered by the challenge of achieving high energy and power densities.This study addresses this issue by leveraging screen-printing technology to fabricate high-performance PMSCs using innovative composite ink.The ink,a synergistic blend of few-layer graphene(Gt),carbon black(CB),and NiCo_(2)O_(4),was meticulously mixed to form a conductive and robust coating that enhanced the capacitive performance of the PMSCs.The optimized ink formulation and printing process result in a micro-supercapacitor with an exceptional areal capacitance of 18.95 mF/cm^(2)and an areal energy density of 2.63μW·h/cm^(2)at a current density of 0.05 mA/cm^(2),along with an areal power density of 0.025 mW/cm^(2).The devices demonstrated impressive durability with a capacitance retention rate of 94.7%after a stringent 20000-cycle test,demonstrating their potential for long-term applications.Moreover,the PMSCs displayed excellent mechanical flexibility,with a capacitance decrease of only 3.43%after 5000 bending cycles,highlighting their suitability for flexible electronic devices.The ease of integrating these PMSCs into series and parallel configurations for customized power further underscores their practicality for integrated power supply solutions in various technologies.
文摘This study was conducted in two sections.Initially,the effects of NaCl,MgCl_(2),and urea were investigated on extracting copper and iron from chalcopyrite.Subsequently,CuFe_(2)O_(4)-based electrodes for supercapacitors were synthesized using the extracted solution.The first phase revealed that 3 mol/L NaCl achieved the highest extraction performance,yielding 60%Cu and 23%Fe.MgCl_(2)at 1.5 mol/L extracted 52%Cu and 27%Fe,while a combination of 0.5 mol/L MgCl_(2)and 1.6 mol/L urea yielded 57%Cu and 20%Fe.Urea effectively reduced iron levels.CuFe_(2)O_(4)-based electrodes were then successfully synthesized via a hydrothermal method using a MgCl_(2)-urea solution.Characterization studies confirmed CuFe_(2)O_(4)formation with a 2D structure and 45−50 nm wall thickness on nickel foam.Electrochemical analysis showed a specific capacitance of 725 mF/cm^(2)at 2 mA/cm^(2)current density,with energy and power densities of 12.3 mW·h/cm^(2)and 175 mW/cm^(2),respectively.These findings suggest that chalcopyrite has the potential for direct use in energy storage.
文摘Nitrogen doping has been widely used to improve the performance of carbon electrodes in supercapacitors,particularly in terms of their high-frequency response.However,the charge storage and electrolyte ion response mechanisms of different nitrogen dopants at high frequencies are still unclear.In this study,melamine foam carbons with different configurations of surfacedoped N were formed by gradient carbonization,and the effects of the configurations on the high-frequency response behavior of the supercapacitors were analyzed.Using a combination of experiments and first-principle calculations,we found that pyrrolic N,characterized by a higher adsorption energy,increases the charge storage capacity of the electrode at high frequencies.On the other hand,graphitic N,with a lower adsorption energy,increases the speed of ion response.We propose the use of adsorption energy as a practical descriptor for electrode/electrolyte design in high-frequency applications,offering a more universal approach for improving the performance of N-doped carbon materials in supercapacitors.
文摘The quest for sustainable energy storage solutions is more critical than ever,with the rise in global energy demand and the urgency of transition from fossil fuels to renewable sources.Carbon nanotubes(CNTs),with their exceptional electrical conduct-ivity and structural integrity,are at the forefront of this endeavor,offering promising ways for the advance of electrochemical energy storage(EES)devices.This review provides an analysis of the synthesis,properties,and applications of CNTs in the context of EES.We explore the evolution of CNT synthesis methods,including arc discharge,laser ablation,and chemical vapor deposition,and highlight the recent developments in metal-organic framework-derived CNTs and a novel CNT aggregate with a three-dimensional ordered macroporous structure.We also examine the role of CNTs in improving the performance of various EES devices such as lith-ium-ion,lithium-metal,lithium-sulfur,sodium,and flexible batteries as well as supercapacitors.We underscore the challenges that remain,including the scalability of CNT synthesis and the integration of CNTs in electrode materials,and propose potential solu-tions and future research directions.The review presents a forward-looking perspective on the pivotal role of CNTs in shaping the fu-ture of sustainable EES technologies.
文摘Zinc-ion capacitors(ZICs),which consist of a capacitor-type electrode and a battery-type electrode,not only possess the high power density of supercapacitors and the high energy density of batteries,but also have other advantages such as abundant resources,high safety and environmental friendliness.However,they still face problems such as insufficient specific capacitance,a short cycling life,and narrow operating voltage and temperature ranges,which are hindering their practical use.We provide a comprehensive overview of the fundamental theory of carbon-based ZICs and summarize recent research progress from three perspectives:the carbon cathode,electrolyte and zinc anode.The influence of the structure and surface chemical properties of the carbon materials on the capacitive performance of ZICs is considered together with theoretical guidance for advancing their development and practical use.

文摘Developing supercapacitors(SCs)with long cycling life and wide operative voltage window is a significant topic in the field of aqueous electrolytes.Although the design of water in salt(WIS)electrolytes has pushed the development of aqueous electrolytes to a new height,the WIS electrolytes with an operative voltage window of up to 2.5 V is still very scarce.Herein,in order to enrich the type of aqueous electrolyte with high operative voltage,tetramethylammonium trifluoromethanesulfonate(TMAOTf)based WIS electrolyte was used as a model to construct WIS based hybrid electrolyte with acetonitrile(ACN)co-solvent and LiTFSI co-solute.In view of the coordination effect of ACN and Lit on free water in TMAOTf based WIS electrolyte,the TMAt-Lit-AWIS electrolyte has the electrochemical stabilization window of up to 3.35 V.Further coupled with the commercial YP-50F electrodes,TMAt-Lit-AWIS based SCs exhibited wide operative voltage window(2.5 V),long cycling life(45,000 cycles)and good low-temperature performance(99.99%capacitance retention after 2000 cycles at20℃).The design of this hybrid electrolyte will enrich the types of aqueous hybrid electrolytes with long cycling life and wide operative voltage window.
文摘There is an urgent need for lithium-ion capacitors(LICs)that have both high energy and high power densities to meet the continuously growing energy storage demands.LICs effectively balance the high energy density of traditional rechargeable batteries with the superior power density and long life of supercapacitors(SCs).Nevertheless,the development of LICs is still hampered by limited kinetic processes and capacity mismatch between the cathode and anode.Metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)and their derivatives have received significant attention because of their extensive specific surface area,different pore structures and topologies,and customizable functional sites,making them compelling candidate materials for achieving high-performance LICs.MOF-derived carbons,known for their exceptional electronic conductivity and large surface area,provide improved charge storage and rapid ion transport.MOF-derived transition metal oxides contribute to high specific capacities and improved electrochemical stability.Additionally,MOF-derived metal compounds/carbons provide combined effects that increase both the capacitive and Faradaic reactions,leading to a superior overall performance.The review begins with an overview of the fundamental principles of LICs,followed by an exploration of synthesis strategies and ligand selection for MOF-based composite materials.It then analyzes the advantages of original MOFs and their derived materials,such as carbon materials and metal compounds,in enhancing LIC performance.Finally,the review discusses the major challenges faced by MOFs and their derivatives in LIC applications and offers future research directions and recommendations.

文摘Aqueous zinc ion hybrid capacitors(ZIHCs)are considered one of the most promising electrochemical energy storage systems due to their high safety,environmental friendliness,low cost,and high power density.However,the low energy density and the lack of sustainable design strategies for the cathodes hinder the practical application of ZIHCs.Herein,we design the N and O co-doped porous carbon cathode by annealing metal-organic framework(ZIF-8).ZIF-8 retains the original dodecahedral structure with a high specific surface(2814.67 m^(2)/g)and I_(G)/I_(D) ratio of 1.0 during carbonization and achieves self-doping of N and O heteroatoms.Abundant defect sites are introduced into the porous carbon to provide additional active sites for ion adsorption after the activation of carbonized ZIF-8 by KOH treatment.The ZIHCs assembled with modified ZIF-8 as the cathode and commercial zinc foil as the anode show an energy density of 125 W∙h/kg and a power density of 79 W/kg.In addition,this ZIHCs device achieves capacity retention of 77.8%after 9000 electrochemical cycles,which is attributed to the diverse pore structure and plentiful defect sites of ZIF-8-800(KOH).The proposed strategy may be useful in developing high-performance metal-ion hybrid capacitors for large-scale energy storage.
文摘We report an economical approach for the fabrication of laser-produced graphene(LPG)electrodes,which results in an improved electrochemical performance.Polyimide polymer was used as the starting material for LPG synthesis and was irradiated under ambient conditions with a CO_(2) laser.The prepared LPG samples were characterized by Raman spectroscopy and FTIR,which validated the formation of multilayer graphene containing sp2 hybridized C=C bonds.FE-SEM revealed three-dimensional(3D)sheet-like structures,while HR-TEM images showed lattice planes with an interplanar spacing of approximately 0.33 nm,corres-ponding to the(002)plane of graphene.Their electrochemical performance showed a remarkable areal specific capacitance(CA)of 51 mF cm^(−2)(170 F g^(-1))at 1 mA cm^(−2)(3.3 A g^(-1))in a three-electrode configuration with 1 mol L^(−1) KOH as the aqueous electrolyte.The LPG electrodes produced an energy density of~3.5μWh cm^(−2) and a power density of~350μW cm^(−2),demonstrating signific-ant energy storage ability.They also had an excellent cycling stability,retaining 87%of their specific capacitance after 3000 cycles at 1 mA/cm^(2).A symmetric supercapacitor fabricated with LPG electrodes and the 1 mol L^(−1) KOH electrolyte had a specific capacit-ance of 23 mF cm^(−2) and showed excellent retention after 10000 cycles,showing LPG’s potential for use in supercapacitors.
