Herein, a 1D wireshaped electrode was developed based on Fe_3O_4 nanosheet arrays connected on the Fe wire, which was prepared via oxidation of Fe wire in 0.1 M KCl solution(pH 3) with O2-rich environment under 70 °C. The obtained Fe_3O_4 nanosheet arrays displayed a high specific capacitance(20.8 m F cm^(-1) at 10 mV s^(-1)) and long cycling lifespan(91.7% retention after 2500 cycles).

elements in HEOs of...Introduction High-entropy oxides(HEOs)have attracted much attention in the field of electrochemistry due to their distinctive structural characteristics and unique properties.The multiple-principal elements in HEOs offer the multiple redox pairs and multiple possible active sites,which can enhance the energy storage capacity and the electrocatalytic performance.Although the notable progress is achieved in the development of HEOs electrodes,their electrochemical properties should be further improved to meet the requirements of high-performance supercapacitors and OER electrocatalysts.The abundant active sites for the Faradic redox reactions and short pathways for charge transportation could be constructed through the design of novel HEOs with advanced microstructures,thus improving the electrochemical properties.As advanced microstructures,a hollow structure has a great promise for energy storage and conversion because it can provide more accessible storage sites,more catalytic centers and a larger electrode/electrolyte contact area.It is thus expected that the construction of hollow structure is an alternative route to significantly promote the electrochemical properties of HEOs electrode materials.However,it is difficult to prepare the HEOs with a hollow structure due to the complexity of the high-entropy system.In this work,a hollow spherical high-entropy perovskite oxide of La(Cr_(0.2)Mn_(0.2)Fe_(0.2)Ni_(0.2)Cu_(0.2))O_(3)(HS-HEPs)was prepared by microwave solvothermal process and subsequent calcination treatment.The as-prepared HS-HEPs exhibited the excellent electrochemical performance when used as an electrode material for supercapacitors and OER electrocatalysts due to the advantages resulted from the combination of high-entropy perovskite and special hollow structure.Methods HS-HEPs were prepared by microwave solvothermal process and subsequent calcination treatment.Typically,0.134 mmol Cr(NO_(3))_(3)·6H_(2)O,0.134 mmol Mn(NO_(3))_(2)·4H_(2)O,0.134 mmol Fe(NO_(3))_(3)·9H_(2)O,0.134 mmol Ni(NO_(3))_(2)·6H_(2)O,0.134 mmol Cu(NO_(3))_(2)·3H_(2)O,and 0.5 mmol La(NO_(3))_(3)·6H_(2)O were dissolved in 30 mL ethanol under stirring for 1 h to obtain the homogeneous solution.Afterwards,60 mg of carbon spheres were added in the solution under ultrasonic treatment for 30 min.The resulting mixture was transferred to a 50 mL microwave digestion vessel.The vessel was heated in a microwave oven at a power of 210 W for 10 min.Subsequently,the obtained mixture was centrifuged,washed with deionized water,and dried in a vacuum drying oven at 70℃for 12 h.Finally,the obtained precursor powder was calcinated in a tube furnace with a heating rate of 3℃/min at 650℃for 2 h to acquire HS-HEPs.The crystalline structure of the sample was determined by X-ray diffraction(XRD,D8 Davinci,Bruker Co.,Germany).The morphology and microstructure of sample were characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy(FESEM,S-4800,Hitachi Co.Ltd.,Japan)equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDS)and transmission electron microscopy(TEM,2100F,JEOL Co.,Japan).The X-ray photoelectron spectra were obtained by a X-ray photoelectron spectrometry(XPS,ESCALab 250,Thermo VG Co.,USA).The supercapacitor and OER performance of the sample were measured on a CHI 660E electrochemical workstation(Shanghai Chenhua Instrument Co.,China).Results and discussion The as-prepared samples display a cubic perovskite crystalline structure and a hollow sphere morphology.According to the XPS analysis,the variable oxidation states of Cr,Fe and Mn present in the HS-HEPs,which benefits the Faradaic redox reactions and increases the capacitance.In addition,the existence of high concentration of oxygen vacancies in HS-HEPs is beneficial to enhancing the capacitance and OER activity.Based on the GCD curve,the specific capacitance of HS-HEPs is estimated to be 406 F/g at 1 A/g.After GCD cycles of 5000 at a current density of 5 A/g,65%capacitance is retained,implying a good long-term electrochemical stability.An asymmetric supercapacitor device(HS-HEPs//AC)with a two electrode configuration is assembled.A maximum energy density of 39.4 W·h/kg is achieved at power density of 746 W/kg.The OER activity of HS-HEPs is evaluated by a linear sweep voltammetry(LSV)polarization curve in 1 mol/L KOH aqueous solution using a standard three-electrode system.The overpotential of HS-HEPs is identified as 347 mV versus RHE for achieving a current density of 10 mA/cm^(2),which is smaller than that of commercial IrO2(372 mV).The HS-HEPs possess the excellent electrochemical performance,which can be ascribed to the high specific surface area,abundant active sites,and high oxygen vacancy content,resulting from the combination of high-entropy perovskite and special hollow structure.Conclusions High-entropy La(Cr_(0.2)Mn_(0.2)Fe_(0.2)Ni_(0.2)Cu_(0.2))O_(3)hollow spheres with a perovskite crystalline structure were prepared by microwave solvothermal process and subsequent calcination treatment.The HS-HEPs possessed the excellent electrochemical performance,which could be ascribed to the high specific surface area,abundant active sites,and high oxygen vacancy content,resulting from the combination of high-entropy perovskite and special hollow structure.Based on the electrochemical performance,HS-HEPs could be used as supercapacitor electrode material and OER electrocatalysts.This work could

文摘One-dimensional(1D, wire-and fiber-shaped)supercapacitors have recently attracted interest due to their roll-up, micrometer size and potential applications in portable or wearable electronics. Herein, a 1D wireshaped electrode was developed based on Fe_3O_4 nanosheet arrays connected on the Fe wire, which was prepared via oxidation of Fe wire in 0.1 M KCl solution(pH 3) with O2-rich environment under 70 °C. The obtained Fe_3O_4 nanosheet arrays displayed a high specific capacitance(20.8 m F cm^(-1) at 10 mV s^(-1)) and long cycling lifespan(91.7% retention after 2500 cycles). Theexcellent performance may attribute to the connected nanosheet structure with abundant open spaces and the intimate contact between the Fe_3O_4 and iron substrate. In addition, a wire-shaped asymmetric supercapacitor was fabricated and had excellent capacitive properties with a high energy density(9 l Wh cm^(-2)) at power density of 532.7 l W cm^(-2) and remarkable long-term cycling performance(99% capacitance retention after 2000 cycles).Considering low cost and earth-abundant electrode material, as well as outstanding electrochemical properties, the assembled supercapacitor will possess enormous potential for practical applications in portable electronic device.

文摘The deposition of active materials directly onto metal wires is a general strategy to prepare wire-shaped electrodes for flexible and wearable energy storage devices. However, it is still a critical challenge to coat active materials onto the aimed metal wires because of their smooth surface and small specific surface area. In this work, high porous nickel yarns（PNYs） was fabricated using commercial nylon yarns as templates through step-wise electroless plating, electroplating and calcination processes. The PNYs are composed of multiplied fibers with hollow tubular structure of 5–10 μm in diameter, allowing the imbibition of carbon nanotubes（CNTs） solution by a facile capillary action process. The prepared CNTs/PNY electrodes showed a typical electrochemical double layer capacitive performance and the constructed allsolid flexible wire-shaped symmetric supercapacitors provided a specific capacitance of 4.67 F/cm3 with good cycling stability at a current density of 0.6 A/cm3.

The supercapacitor can sustain tensile strain up to 850%, which is the highest value reported for this type of device to date, while maintaining stable electrochemical performance. The energy density of the supercapacitor is 3.37 mWh·cm^-3 at a power density of 54.0 mW·cm^-3. The results show that 82% of the specific capacitance is retained after 1,000 stretch-release cycles with strains of 700%, demonstrating the superior durability of the elastic supercapacitor and showcasing its potential application in ultra-stretchable flexible electronics.

文摘Wire-shaped supercapacitors（SCs） possessing light-weight, good flexibility and weavability have caught much attention, but it is still a challenge to extend the lifespan of the devices with gradual aging due to the rough usage or external factors. Herein, we report a new stretchable and selfhealable wire-shaped SC. In the typical process, two polyvinyl alcohol/potassium hydroxide（PVA/KOH） hydrogel wrapped with urchin-like NiCo2O4 nanomaterials were twisted together to form a complete SC devices. It is noted that the as-prepared PVA hydrogel can be easily stretched up to 300% with small tensile stress of 12.51 kPa, superior to nearly 350 kPa at 300%strain of the polyurethane. Moreover, the wire-like SCs exhibit excellent electrochemical performance with areal capacitance of 3.88 mF cm^-2 at the current density of 0.053 mA cm^-2, good cycling stability maintaining 88.23% after 1000 charge/discharge cycles, and 82.19% capacitance retention even after four damaging/healing cycles. These results indicate that wireshaped SCs with two twisted NiCo2O4 coated polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel fibers is a promising structure for achieving the goal of high stability and long-life time. This work may provide a new solution for new generation of self-healable and wearable electronic devices.

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.

文摘Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate)(PEDOT:PSS)is a highly successful conductive polymer utilized as an electrode material in energy storage units for portable and wearable electronic de-vices.Nevertheless,employing PEDOT:PSS in supercapacitors(SC)in its pristine state presents challenges due to its suboptimal electrochemical performance and operational instability.To surmount these limita-tions,PEDOT:PSS has been integrated with carbon-based materials to form flexible electrodes,which ex-hibit physical and chemical stability during SC operation.We developed a streamlined fabrication process for high-performance SC electrodes composed of PEDOT:PSS and carbon quantum dots(CQDs).The CQDs were synthesized under microwave irradiation,yielding green-and red-light emissions.Through optimiz-ing the ratios of CQDs to PEDOT:PSS,the SC electrodes were prepared using a spray-coating technique,marking a significant improvement in device performance with a high volumetric capacitance(104.10 F cm-3),impressive energy density(19.68 Wh cm^(-3)),and excellent cyclic stability,retaining~85% of its original volumetric capacitance after 15,000 repeated GCD cycles.Moreover,the SCs,when utilized as a flexible substrate,demonstrated the ability to maintain up to~85% of their electrochemical performance even after 3,000 bending cycles(at a bending angle of 60°).These attributes render this hybrid composite an ideal candidate for a lightweight smart energy storage component in portable and wearable electronic technologies.

文摘Introduction High-entropy oxides(HEOs)have attracted much attention in the field of electrochemistry due to their distinctive structural characteristics and unique properties.The multiple-principal elements in HEOs offer the multiple redox pairs and multiple possible active sites,which can enhance the energy storage capacity and the electrocatalytic performance.Although the notable progress is achieved in the development of HEOs electrodes,their electrochemical properties should be further improved to meet the requirements of high-performance supercapacitors and OER electrocatalysts.The abundant active sites for the Faradic redox reactions and short pathways for charge transportation could be constructed through the design of novel HEOs with advanced microstructures,thus improving the electrochemical properties.As advanced microstructures,a hollow structure has a great promise for energy storage and conversion because it can provide more accessible storage sites,more catalytic centers and a larger electrode/electrolyte contact area.It is thus expected that the construction of hollow structure is an alternative route to significantly promote the electrochemical properties of HEOs electrode materials.However,it is difficult to prepare the HEOs with a hollow structure due to the complexity of the high-entropy system.In this work,a hollow spherical high-entropy perovskite oxide of La(Cr_(0.2)Mn_(0.2)Fe_(0.2)Ni_(0.2)Cu_(0.2))O_(3)(HS-HEPs)was prepared by microwave solvothermal process and subsequent calcination treatment.The as-prepared HS-HEPs exhibited the excellent electrochemical performance when used as an electrode material for supercapacitors and OER electrocatalysts due to the advantages resulted from the combination of high-entropy perovskite and special hollow structure.Methods HS-HEPs were prepared by microwave solvothermal process and subsequent calcination treatment.Typically,0.134 mmol Cr(NO_(3))_(3)·6H_(2)O,0.134 mmol Mn(NO_(3))_(2)·4H_(2)O,0.134 mmol Fe(NO_(3))_(3)·9H_(2)O,0.134 mmol Ni(NO_(3))_(2)·6H_(2)O,0.134 mmol Cu(NO_(3))_(2)·3H_(2)O,and 0.5 mmol La(NO_(3))_(3)·6H_(2)O were dissolved in 30 mL ethanol under stirring for 1 h to obtain the homogeneous solution.Afterwards,60 mg of carbon spheres were added in the solution under ultrasonic treatment for 30 min.The resulting mixture was transferred to a 50 mL microwave digestion vessel.The vessel was heated in a microwave oven at a power of 210 W for 10 min.Subsequently,the obtained mixture was centrifuged,washed with deionized water,and dried in a vacuum drying oven at 70℃for 12 h.Finally,the obtained precursor powder was calcinated in a tube furnace with a heating rate of 3℃/min at 650℃for 2 h to acquire HS-HEPs.The crystalline structure of the sample was determined by X-ray diffraction(XRD,D8 Davinci,Bruker Co.,Germany).The morphology and microstructure of sample were characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy(FESEM,S-4800,Hitachi Co.Ltd.,Japan)equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDS)and transmission electron microscopy(TEM,2100F,JEOL Co.,Japan).The X-ray photoelectron spectra were obtained by a X-ray photoelectron spectrometry(XPS,ESCALab 250,Thermo VG Co.,USA).The supercapacitor and OER performance of the sample were measured on a CHI 660E electrochemical workstation(Shanghai Chenhua Instrument Co.,China).Results and discussion The as-prepared samples display a cubic perovskite crystalline structure and a hollow sphere morphology.According to the XPS analysis,the variable oxidation states of Cr,Fe and Mn present in the HS-HEPs,which benefits the Faradaic redox reactions and increases the capacitance.In addition,the existence of high concentration of oxygen vacancies in HS-HEPs is beneficial to enhancing the capacitance and OER activity.Based on the GCD curve,the specific capacitance of HS-HEPs is estimated to be 406 F/g at 1 A/g.After GCD cycles of 5000 at a current density of 5 A/g,65%capacitance is retained,implying a good long-term electrochemical stability.An asymmetric supercapacitor device(HS-HEPs//AC)with a two electrode configuration is assembled.A maximum energy density of 39.4 W·h/kg is achieved at power density of 746 W/kg.The OER activity of HS-HEPs is evaluated by a linear sweep voltammetry(LSV)polarization curve in 1 mol/L KOH aqueous solution using a standard three-electrode system.The overpotential of HS-HEPs is identified as 347 mV versus RHE for achieving a current density of 10 mA/cm^(2),which is smaller than that of commercial IrO2(372 mV).The HS-HEPs possess the excellent electrochemical performance,which can be ascribed to the high specific surface area,abundant active sites,and high oxygen vacancy content,resulting from the combination of high-entropy perovskite and special hollow structure.Conclusions High-entropy La(Cr_(0.2)Mn_(0.2)Fe_(0.2)Ni_(0.2)Cu_(0.2))O_(3)hollow spheres with a perovskite crystalline structure were prepared by microwave solvothermal process and subsequent calcination treatment.The HS-HEPs possessed the excellent electrochemical performance,which could be ascribed to the high specific surface area,abundant active sites,and high oxygen vacancy content,resulting from the combination of high-entropy perovskite and special hollow structure.Based on the electrochemical performance,HS-HEPs could be used as supercapacitor electrode material and OER electrocatalysts.This work could provide a strategy to design and prepare high-entropy oxides with a

文摘Herein,we report a simple self-charging hybrid power system(SCHPS)based on binder-free zinc copper selenide nanostructures(ZnCuSe_(2) NSs)deposited carbon fabric(CF)(i.e.,ZnCuSe_(2)/CF),which is used as an active material in the fabrication of supercapacitor(SC)and triboelectric nanogenerator(TENG).At first,a binder-free ZnCuSe_(2)/CF was synthesized via a simple and facial hydrothermal synthesis approach,and the electrochemical properties of the obtained ZnCuSe_(2)/CF were evaluated by fabricating a symmetric quasi-solid-state SC(SQSSC).The ZCS-2(Zn:Cu ratio of 2:1)material deposited CF-based SQSSC exhibited good electrochemical properties,and the obtained maximum energy and power densities were 7.5 Wh kg^(-1)and 683.3 W kg^(-1),respectively with 97.6%capacitance retention after 30,000 cycles.Furthermore,the ZnCuSe_(2)/CF was coated with silicone rubber elastomer using a doctor blade technique,which is used as a negative triboelectric material in the fabrication of the multiple TENG(M-TENG).The fabricated M-TENG exhibited excellent electrical output performance,and the robustness and mechanical stability of the device were studied systematically.The practicality and applicability of the proposed M-TENG and SQSSC were systematically investigated by powering various low-power portable electronic components.Finally,the SQSSC was combined with the M-TENG to construct a SCHPS.The fabricated SCHPS provides a feasible solution for sustainable power supply,and it shows great potential in self-powered portable electronic device applications.
文摘A low-cost 1D cobalt-based coordination polymer(CP)[Co(BGPD)(DMSO)_(2)(H_(2)O)_(2)](Co-BD;H2BGPD=N,N'-bis(glycinyl)pyromellitic diimide;DMSO=dimethyl sulfoxide)was synthesized by a simple method,and its crystal structure was characterized.In a three-electrode system,Co-BD,as the electrode material for supercapacitors,achieved a specific capacitance of 830 F·g^(-1)at 1 A·g^(-1),equivalent to a specific capacity of 116.4 mAh·g^(-1),and exhibited high-rate capability,reaching 212 F·g^(-1)at 20 A·g^(-1).Impressively,Co-BD||rGO(reduced graphene oxide),representing an asymmetrical supercapacitor,owns a higher energy density of 14.2 Wh·kg^(-1)at 0.80 kW·kg^(-1),and an excellent cycle performance(After 4000 cycles at 1 A·g^(-1),the capacitance retention was up to 94%).CCDC:2418872.
