Reasonable structure design and component selection are crucial to electrochemical performance of supercapacitor electrode materials. Sodium alginate (SA), with a novel structure which can immobilize multivalent metal cations, was used to coordinate with Fe3+ to fabricate a carbon and Fe3O4 composite by an easy sol–gel method. Due to the chelation effect between SA and Fe3+, the carbon composite was constructed into a two-dimensional sheet-like structure, and the Fe3O4 particles were nanosize and homogenously distributed on the surface of the carbon nanosheet. As an electrode material for supercapacitors, the composite electrode showed a high specific capacitance of 550 F g−1 at 1 A g−1 in the potential range from −1.1 to 0 V, and excellent cycling stability of 89% retention after 2000 cycles. The enhanced electrochemical performance could be attributed to the abundant exposed active sites, producing high pseudocapacitance, to the two-dimensional nanosheet structure, facilitating electrolyte transport and to the strong attachment strength, improving cycle life. This environmentally-friendly design can provide an alternative to existing methods, resulting in the development of a two-dimensional carbon/metal oxide composite for energy storage devices.

Supercapacitors (SCs) have garnered increasing attention as an alternative energy storage device but the relatively low potential window and energy density impede their application prospect. Herein, we propose a novel three-dimensional (3D) packaging method for the first time, utilizing high flexible phosphor-copper sheets (PCSs) sprayed with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and covered with polyimide (PI) films on their both sides as the serial medium followed by CO 2 laser irradiation to fabricate all-solid-state flexible high voltage supercapacitors (HVSCs). This method achieves double voltage output in the limited PI membrane compared with common 2D encapsulation. As a result, as-obtained HVSCs deliver not only an enhanced mechanical tensile strength up to 18.23 MPa but also the outstanding electrochemical performances, including ultrahigh working voltage window (10 V), high energy density (37.68 μWh/cm 2 ) and power density (3.38 mW/cm 2 ). Owing to the excellent flexibility, the HVSCs can be arbitrarily bent or twisted without obvious attenuation on capacitive property. After 10000 cycles, the capacitance retention of HVSCs still maintains to be 90.2%. This novel 3D packaging strategy may pave the way for developing high-performing SCs with wide operating voltage and high energy density for flexible displays, wearable equipment and integrated electrical devices.

A study area in supercapacitor research is the design and manufacturing of composite electrode materials that combine the advantages of various materials. The rGO/CoFe 2 O 4 composite material is produced by growing cobalt ferrite particles on the surface of rGO using a simple and highly efficient thermal reduction technique. The results show that the electrochemical properties of rGO are significantly improved by the incorporation of cobalt ferrite. rGO sheets are used as supporting frameworks for the CoFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles, while the CoFe 2 O 4 particles provide more active sites for redox reactions. The prepared rGO/CoFe 2 O 4 show excellent electrochemical properties, with a high specific capacitance of 283 F/g at a current density of 0.1 A/g and a specific capacitance retention of 90.5% after 1000 cycles. The attractive performances exhibited by rGO/CoFe 2 O 4 composites make them potential electrode materials for supercapacitors in future.

Nitrogen-doped mesoporous carbon (NMC) was synthesized via pyrolysis of cobalt-containing casein obtained by extraction from pure milk with the auxiliary of cobalt ions. The cobalt element in casein promoted specific surface area and N element doping amount of casein-derived porous carbon. The N-doped porous carbon obtained by carbonization at 800 °C (NPC-800) possessed a specific surface area of ∼886.7 m 2 g −1 , and the mesoporous size was centered at 2.7 and 7 nm. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis showed that the nitrogen content of NPC-800 was 3.29 at%. The NPC-800 was explored as a symmetric supercapacitor, which exhibited specific capacity of 380 F g −1 at a current density of 0.5 A g −1 , 218 F g −1 at a current density of 20 A g −1 , and high capacitance retention of 91.3% after charging/discharging 5,000 cycles.

Mechanically strong and electrically conducting fibers, particularly those with high specific capacitances, are promising fiber-shaped electrodes for fiber- and textile-based energy storage devices like fiber-shaped supercapacitors (FSCs). However, a high loading of fillers or bridging agents is commonly required to fabricate fiber electrodes with good mechanical strength , which compromises electrical conductivity and energy storage performance. Herein, an easily scalable wet-spinning strategy is reported to fabricate multifunctional Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene/carbon nanotubes (MXene/CNT) hybrid fibers from a harmonious mixture of MXene and CNT in water and using acetic acid as a coagulation bath . The hybrid fiber achieved high strength (61 ± 7 MPa), good conductivity (1142.08 ± 40.04 S cm −1 ) and excellent energy storage performance (∼295 F g −1 at 5 mV s −1 ) at a very low CNT content of ∼1 wt%. When CNT loading increased to ∼9 wt%, the maximum strain at broken reached 161 ± 19 MPa and conductivity further increased to 1715 ± 22 S cm −1 . The excellent mechanical performance allows hybrid fibers to be knitted into textiles for energy storage textiles. The assembled FSCs exhibit energy and power densities of ∼6.08 mW h cm −3 and ∼6440 mW cm −3 , respectively. The excellent performance of MXene/CNT fiber and good feasibility for scalable production will open up new opportunities for the development of wearable and textile-based devices in the near future.

Carbon resource recovery from toxic organic wastewater to reduce unnecessary energy loss and greenhouse gas emissions is rarely pursued. In the present study, a promising approach for formic acid (FA) recovery from EDTA wastewater was proposed by coupling ozonation and flow-electrode capacitive deionization (Ozo/FCDI). In the ozonation process, a FA productivity of 25% was obtained with the complete degradation of EDTA. The FA recovery from wastewater was compared under electrodialysis (i.e., without the use of flowable carbon electrodes, 0 wt%) and FCDI (i.e. using 5 wt% flowable carbon electrodes) processes and the results demonstrated the superiority of the FCDI process. After 390 min of operation, the accumulated FA concentration in the anode chamber of the FCDI system had increased to 633.6 mg/L with a low energy consumption of 8.0 kWh/kg FA, which was 1.8 times of the FA concentration in the electrodialysis (ED) process and nearly 6.4 times in the feed stream. These findings suggest the effective acquisition of high value-added FA in the Ozo/FCDI system; may provide new opportunities and challenges for the recovery of organic compounds.

Two-dimensional (2D) graphene-based materials are widely applied as electrodes for supercapacitors due to their vast surface area and excellent charge mobility. However, the pursuit of the theoretical capacitance of graphene has lasted besides the improvements of charge/discharge rate and cycling life. In this work, a nitrogen and fluorine co-doped holey graphene hydrogel (NF-HGH) was synthesized by using consecutive solvothermal treatments for creating vacancies on the graphene basal plane and introducing heteroatoms into the graphene framework. The NF-HGH as an electrode for supercapacitors exhibited a remarkable electrochemical performance of 345.4 F g−1 at 1 A g−1 in 6 M KOH electrolyte. In addition, the specific capacitance of the assembled all-solid-state flexible symmetric supercapacitor (SSC) was 67.3 F g−1 at 1 A g−1, with an outstanding long-term cycling stability over 10 000 cycles. The delivered maximum energy and power densities were 7.99 W h kg−1 and 10.08 kW kg−1, respectively. The abundant pyrrolic-N doped at the edge of etched vacancies and the formed semi-ionic C–F bonds around pyrrolic-N were critical for electrochemical developments, which provided a sensational method to construct carbonaceous frameworks for energy storage systems.

Surfactant plays a remarkable role in determining the growth process (facet exposition) of colloidal nanocrystals (NCs) and the formation of self-assembled NC superstructures, the underlying mechanism of which, however, still requires elucidation. In this work, the mechanism of surfactant-mediated morphology evolution and self-assembly of CeO2 nanocrystals is elucidated by exploring the effect that surfactant modification has on the shape, size, exposed facets, and arrangement of the CeO2 NCs. It is directly proved that surfactant molecules determine the morphologies of the CeO2 NCs by preferentially bonding onto Ce-terminated {100} facets, changing from large truncated octahedra (mostly {111} and {100} exposed), to cubes (mostly {100} exposed) and small cuboctahedra (mostly {100} and {111} exposed) by increasing the amount of surfactant. The exposure degree of the {100} facets largely affects the concentration of Ce3+ in the CeO2 NCs, thus the cubic CeO2 NCs exhibit superior oxygen storage capacity and excellent supercapacitor performance due to a high fraction of exposed active {100} facets with great superstructure stability.

At present, the topic of building high-performance, miniaturized and mechanically flexible energy storage modules which can be directly integrated into textile based wearable electronics is a hotspot in the wearable technology field. In this paper, we reported a highly flexible fiber-shaped electrode fabricated through a one-step convenient hydrothermal process. The prepared graphene hydrogels/multi-walled carbon nanotubes-cotton thread derived from natural cotton thread is electrochemically active and mechanically strong. Fiber-shaped supercapacitor based on the prepared fiber electrodes and polyvinyl alcohol-H 3 PO 4 gel electrolyte exhibits good capacitive performance (97.73 μF cm −1 at scan rate of 2 mV s −1 ), long cycle life (95.51% capacitance retention after 8000 charge-discharge cycles) and considerable stability (90.75% capacitance retention after 500 continuous bending cycles). Due to its good mechanical and electrochemical properties , the graphene hydrogels/multi-walled carbon nanotubes-cotton thread based all-solid fiber-shaped supercapacitor can be directly knitted into fabrics and maintain its original capacitive performance. Such a low-cost textile thread based versatile energy storage device may hold great potential for future wearable electronics applications.

Physical and electrochemical characteristics of aluminium secondary battery systems based on aluminium anodes, sulfur–carbon cathodes and ionic liquid electrolytes were investigated. Aluminium chloride (AlCl 3 )/triethylamine hydrochloride (Et 3 NHCl) ionic liquids were used as the electrolytes. Toluene, benzene, dichloromethane (DCM), and 1,2-dichlorethane (DCE) were tested as the additives to modify the performance of ionic liquid electrolytes. DCM and DCE were found to be the better choices, with 0.2 as the optimized volume ratio of organic solvent to ionic liquid. The additives have functions of reducing the viscosities and elevating the conductivities of ionic liquid electrolytes, while having little influence on the thermal stability of battery system in normal working temperature range. To assess the electrochemical properties of the electrolytes, galvanostatic charge/discharge studies were performed at the cell voltage of 2.4 V to 0.6 V at a constant current discharge of 15 mA/g. The cell exhibits well-defined discharge voltage plateaus near 1.8 V. A discharging capacity of 113.64 mAh/g at the first cycle is obtained for the cell based on DCM-ionic liquid electrolyte, in comparison with 85.23 mAh/g for the cell based on pure IL. The discharging capacity has the highest value of 131.67 mAh/g, and remains 104.69 mAh/g after 40 cycles. This study indicates that the performance of aluminium secondary battery can be greatly improved by adding a small volume of organic additives to the ionic liquid electrolytes.

Pseudo-capacitive materials show long cycling life as anode of K-ion battery (KIBs), yet low specific capacity and poor rate performance. Herein, the porous TiNbO 4 /C nanofibers (denoted as TNO/C) are synthesized via electro-spinning. Abundant oxygen vacancies and large specific surface area make the sample exudes high specific capacity and good rate performance. After optimizing the calcination temperature, it is found that the porous TiNbO 4 /C nanofibers at 700 °C (denoted as TNO/C-700) can deliver the specific discharge capacity of 250.4 mAh g −1 in K-ion half cell and demonstrate good cycle stability for 100 cycles in K-ion full cell in 100 mA g − 1 . Even in 5 A g − 1 , the discharge capacity of TNO/C-700 electrodes is still 116.7 mAh g − 1 at rate performance. Ex-situ XRD results show that this TNO/C-700 electrode is associated with pseudo-capacitive effect and insertion/de-insertion process. The TNO/C-700 electrode exhibits a high pseudo-capacitive contribution, which can reach to 85.0% at 3 mV s −1 . This novel high pseudo-capacitive contribution anode material provides more possibilities for the selection in KIBs.
