文摘Metal-organic framework(MOF)-derived porous carbon has attracted particular attention in the electrochemical energy storage field,of which the key is the design and preparation of electrode materials with adjustable porosity and defects for supercapacitors.Here,a novel strategy of coating ZIF-8 with coal tar pitch(CTP)is presented to tailor the porosity and defects of derived porous carbon,by which the inward contraction of ZIF-8 is prevented to enlarge the ultra-micropores,and the defects of ZIF-8-derived carbon are repaired to form a continuous conjugated network.The tradeoff between porosity and electrical conductivity endows this novel hard/soft carbon electrode with fast ion/electron diffusion,achieving high yet balanced capacitance and rate performance of a top-level specific area-normalized capacitance(40μF cm^(-2))and a capacitance retention of 52.1%at a 1000-fold increased current density.Meanwhile,the novel electrode realizes a high capacitance of 704 F g^(-1)at 1 A g^(-1)and capacitance retention of 91.9%after 50000 cycles in KOH+PPD electrolyte.This study provides an effective approach to designing novel hard/soft carbon with tuned porosity and carbon defects from MOFs and CTP for supercapacitors and other metal-ion batteries.

文摘The demand for sustainable energy storage has accelerated the development of cellulose-based materials(CBMs)for flexible supercapacitors(FSCs).However,widespread commercialization of FSCs remains challenged by their low gravimetric energy density(approximately 35 Wh kg^(-1)),far below lithium-ion batteries(exceeding 200 Wh kg^(-1)),and a limited operational temperature range(from-20℃ to 60℃),restricting their use in extreme environments.To date,no comprehensive review has elucidated the crucial role of the chemistry and structure-property relationships of CBMs in advancing FSC technology.This review fills this gap by examining the chemical attributes and versatility of cellulose and its derivatives,including their physicochemical characteris-tics,assembly methodologies,and functional modifications such as oxidation,esterification,etherification,grafting polymerization,nucleophilic substitution,and crosslinking reactions.We further provide an overview of the chemistry and structure-function correlations of various cellulose forms used in advanced electrodes,solid electrolytes,separators,binders,current collectors,and substrate/encapsulation materials,alongside relevant microelectrode processing technologies.Given that large-scale application of FSCs is still in its early stages,we offer insightful design principles for guiding future development of cellulose-based FSCs.By proposing a“chemistry-performance-sustainability”design framework,this review not only addresses existing limitations but also outlines a roadmap for next-generation eco-friendly FSCs.

文摘Zinc-ion hybrid supercapacitors(ZIHCs)are compelling candidates for next-generation energy storage owing to their intrinsic safety,low cost,and high power density.However,their practical implementation remains hindered by the limited energy density of traditional carbon-based cathodes.Here,we rationally design porous carbon nanofibers embedded with atomically dispersed Zn and Fe dual-metal sites(ZnFe/PCNFs),synthesized via electrospinning followed by controlled carbonization.The introduction of Fe modulates the local electronic structure of Zn centers,thereby facilitating enhanced d-orbital hybridization and stronger ion adsorption through the formation of ZnFeN_(6) coordination motifs.Coupled with high surface area and hierarchical porosity,these atomic-level interactions facilitate exceptional ion accessibility and rapid charge-transfer kinetics.As a cathode for ZIHCs,ZnFe/PCNFs deliver a specific capacity of 213 mAh g^(-1),exceptional high-rate capability,and longterm cycling stability over 20000 cycles.This work elucidates mechanisms of dual-metal atomic coordination and provides a robust design strategy for high-performance,durable aqueous energy storage systems.

文摘Ammonium-ion hybrid supercapacitors(A-HSCs)have emerged as promising candidates for next-generation energy storage owing to their inherent safety and environmental sustainability.Hexagonal tungsten oxide(h-WO_(3)),with its well-defined tunnel structure,holds great promise as a negative electrode material for NH^(4+)storage.However,its practical application is hindered by structural instability and poor intrinsic electrical conductivity.To address these challenges,a dual-regulation strategy is proposed,integrating molybdenum(Mo)doping and NH^(4+)pre-intercalation to concurrently optimize the tunnel structure and electronic environment of h-WO_(3)(Mo-NWO).Comprehensive experimental and theoretical analyses reveal that Mo doping narrows the bandgap of WO_(3)and reduces the diffusion energy barrier,thereby accelerating NH^(4+)adsorption and diffusion.Simultaneously,NH^(4+)pre-intercalation stabilizes the tunnel framework via hydrogen bonding,ensuring structural reversibility.As expected,the Mo-NWO/AC electrode achieves a high areal capacitance of 13.6 F cm^(−2)at 5 mA cm^(−2)and retains 80.14%of its capacitance after 5000 cycles,demonstrating exceptional rate capability and cycling stability.Moreover,the assembled Mn_(3)O_(4)//Mo-NWO/AC device delivers a high energy density of 3.41 mWh cm^(−2)and outstanding long-term stability(85.75%retention after 12,000 cycles).This work provides a viable strategy for designing high-performance NH^(4+)storage materials and advances the development of sustainable energy storage systems.

文摘Supercapacitors are indispensable for next-generation energy storage,achieving high energy density and long-term durability remains a formidable challenge.Conventional CoS suffers from poor conductivity,while Ti_(3)C_(2)faces severe restacking.Herein,we report a novel synthesis strategy that integrates metal-organic framework(MOF)growth with electrostatic self-assembly to construct heterojunction of CoS nanotubes coated with ultrathin Ti_(3)C_(2)nanofilms.Material characterization via SEM,TEM,XRD,and XPS systematically confirms the heterostructure formation,and chemical composition.This rational design synergistically leverages CoS high pseudocapacitance and Ti_(3)C_(2)metallic conductivity while the heterostructure mitigates restacking,enhances charge transfer,and stabilizes interfacial interactions.Density functional theory(DFT)calculations reveal strengthened OH-adsorption at the Co-Ti interface(E_(ad)=1.106 eV).Consequently,the CoS/Ti_(3)C_(2)@CC delivers a remarkable specific capacitance of 1034.21 F g^(-1) at 1 A g^(-1).Assembled into a supercapacitor,CoS/Ti_(3)C_(2)@CC//AC achieves a high energy density of 74.22 Wh kg^(-1) at 800 W kg^(-1),maintaining 89.13%initial capacitance after 10,000 cycles.Significantly,it exhibits a remarkably low leakage current(0.23μA)and ultra-prolonged voltage retention(47.14%after 120 h),underscoring exceptional durability.This work pioneers a rational heterostructure engineering strategy by integrating MOF-derived architectures with conductive MXene nanofilms,offering critical insights for the development of ultra-durable supercapacitors.

文摘With the rapid development of flexible wearable electronics,the demand for stretchable energy storage devices has surged.In this work,a novel gradient-layered architecture was design based on single-pore hollow lignin nanospheres(HLNPs)-intercalated two-dimensional transition metal carbide(Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x) MXene)for fabricating highly stretchable and durable supercapacitors.By depositing and inserting HLNPs in the MXene layers with a bottom-up decreasing gradient,a multilayered porous MXene structure with smooth ion channels was constructed by reducing the overstacking of MXene lamella.Moreover,the micro-chamber architecture of thin-walled lignin nanospheres effectively extended the contact area between lignin and MXene to improve ion and electron accessibility,thus better utilizing the pseudocapacitive property of lignin.All these strategies effectively enhanced the capacitive performance of the electrodes.In addition,HLNPs,which acted as a protective phase for MXene layer,enhanced mechanical properties of the wrinkled stretchable electrodes by releasing stress through slip and deformation during the stretch-release cycling and greatly improved the structural integrity and capacitive stability of the electrodes.Flexible electrodes and symmetric flexible all-solid-state supercapacitors capable of enduring 600%uniaxial tensile strain were developed with high specific capacitances of 1273 mF cm^(−2)(241 F g^(−1))and 514 mF cm^(−2)(95 F g^(−1)),respectively.Moreover,their capacitances were well preserved after 1000 times of 600%stretch-release cycling.This study showcased new possibilities of incorporating biobased lignin nanospheres in energy storage devices to fabricate stretchable devices leveraging synergies among various two-dimensional nanomaterials.

文摘Graphene fiber supercapacitors(GFSCs)have garnered significant attention due to their exceptional features,including high power density,rapid charge/discharge rates,prolonged cycling durability,and versatile weaving capabilities.Nevertheless,inherent challenges in graphene fibers(GFs),particularly the restricted ion-accessible specific surface area(SSA)and sluggish ion transport kinetics,hinder the achievement of optimal capacitance and rate performance.Despite existing reviews on GFSCs,a notable gap exists in thoroughly exploring the kinetics governing the energy storage process in GFSCs.This review aims to address this gap by thoroughly analyzing the energy storage mechanism,fabrication methodologies,property manipulation,and wearable applications of GFSCs.Through theoretical analysis of the energy storage process,specific parameters in advanced GF fabrication methodologies are carefully summarized,which can be used to modulate nano/micro-structures,thereby enhancing energy storage kinetics.In particular,enhanced ion storage is realized by creating more ion-accessible SSA and introducing extra-capacitive components,while accelerated ion transport is achieved by shortening the transport channel length and improving the accessibility of electrolyte ions.Building on the established structure-property relationship,several critical strategies for constructing optimal surface and structure profiles of GF electrodes are summarized.Capitalizing on the exceptional flexibility and wearability of GFSCs,the review further underscores their potential as foundational elements for constructing multifunctional e-textiles using conventional textile technologies.In conclusion,this review provides insights into current challenges and suggests potential research directions for GFSCs.

文摘Thick electrodes can reduce the ratio of inactive constituents in a holistic energy storage system while improving energy and power densities.Unfortunately,traditional slurry-casting electrodes induce high-tortuous ionic diffusion routes that directly depress the capacitance with a thickening design.To overcome this,a novel 3D low-tortuosity,self-supporting,wood-structured ultrathick electrode(NiMoN@WC,a thickness of~1400 mm)with hierarchical porosity and artificial array-distributed small holes was constructed via anchoring bimetallic nitrides into the monolithic wood carbons.Accompanying the embedded NiMoN nanoclusters with well-designed geometric and electronic structure,the vertically low-tortuous channels,enlarged specific surface area and pore volume,superhydrophilic interface,and excellent charge conductivities,a superior capacitance of NiMoN@WC thick electrodes(~5350 mF cm^(-2)and 184.5 F g^(-1))is achieved without the structural deformation.In especial,monolithic wood carbons with gradient porous network not only function as the high-flux matrices to ameliorate the NiMoN loading via cell wall engineering but also allow fully-exposed electroactive substance and efficient current collection,thereby deliver an acceptable rate capability over 75%retention even at a high sweep rate of 20 mA cm^(-2).Additionally,an asymmetric NiMoN@WC//WC supercapacitor with an available working voltage of 1.0-1.8 V is assembled to demonstrate a maximum energy density of~2.04 mWh cm^(-2)(17.4 Wh kg^(-1))at a power density of 1620 mW cm^(-2),along with a decent long-term lifespan over 10,000 charging-discharging cycles.As a guideline,the rational design of wood ultrathick electrode with nanostructured transition metal nitrides sketch a promising blueprint for alleviating global energy scarcity while expanding carbon-neutral technologies.
文摘This study explores the potential of Michelia champaca wood as a sustainable and locally available precursor for the fabrication of high-performance supercapacitor electrodes.Activated carbons were synthesized through single-step carbonization at 400℃ and 500℃(SSC-400℃ and SSC-500℃) and double-step carbonization at 400℃(DSC-400℃),with all samples activated using H_(3)PO_(4).The effects of carbonization stratergy on the structural,morphological,and electrochemical characteristics of the resulting carbon materials were systematically evaluated,using techniques such as BET,SEM,TEM,XRD,Raman scattering,FTIR,CV,GCD and EIS.Among the samples,SSC-400℃ exhibited the best electrochemical performance,achieving a specific capacitance of 292.2 Fg^(-1),an energy density of 6.4 Wh kg^(-1),and a power density of 198.4 W kg^(-1).This superior performance is attributed to its optimized pore structure,improved sur-face functionality and enhanced conductivity.SSC-500℃showed marginally lower performance,whereas,DSC-400℃ displayed the least favorable results,indicating that double-step carbonization process may negatively affect material quality by disrupting the pore network.This work highlights a strong correlation between synthesis methodology and electrochemical efficiency,directly reinforcing the importance of process optimization in electrode material develop-ment.The findings contribute to the broader goal of developing cost-effective,renewable and environmentally friendly energy storage systems.By valorizing biomass waste,the study supports global movements toward green energy technologies and circular carbon economies,offering a viable pathway for sustainable supercapacitor development and practical applications in energy storage devices.
