Paper-based all-solid-state flexible asymmetric micro-supercapacitors fabricated by a simple pencil drawing methodology
2018
Abstract Flexible micro-scale energy storage devices as the key component to power the flexible miniaturized electronic devices are attracting extensive attention. In this study, interdigitated asymmetric all-solid-state flexible micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) were fabricated by a simple pencil drawing process followed by electrodepositing MnO 2 on one of the as-drawn graphite electrode as anode and the other as cathode. The as-prepared electrodes showed high areal specific capacitance of 220 μF/cm 2 at 2.5 μA/cm 2 . The energy density and the corresponding power density of the resultant asymmetrical flexible MSCs were up to 110 μWh/cm 2 and 1.2 μW/cm 2 , respectively. Furthermore, excellent cycling performance (91% retention of capacity after 1000 cycles) was achieved. The resultant devices also exhibited good electrochemical stability under bending conditions, demonstrating superior flexibility. This study provides a simple yet efficient methodology for designing and fabricating flexible supercapacitors applicable for portable and wearable electronics.
