To enhance the reduced graphene oxide hydrogels' capacitive performance, many modifiers are used to add doped element into the materials and improve the structure. The isomers of aminophenol which contain amino and hydroxyl groups on the benzene ring are employed as structure regulator and modifier to synthesize high-performance reduced graphene oxide hydrogels. The influences of preparation conditions including ratios of graphene oxide to aminophenol isomers, temperature, reaction times on the samples’ structure and properties have been investigated. The results show that the oligomer of o-aminophenol is formed on reduced graphene oxide sheets while the molecules of p, m-aminophenol are bound to the sheets; and that the hydrogel prepared in the presence of p-aminophenol has larger specific surface area, total pore volume , specific capacitance and good rate capability (74.0% of 427.0 F g −1 retains at 100 mV s −1 ) than other. The cells assembled by the optimized hydrogels exhibit the energy density of 14.07 Wh kg −1 at power density of 124.3 W kg −1 , and 4.96 Wh kg −1 at 6.78 kW kg −1 . Furthermore, 92.2% of initial capacitance can be retained after 20,000 cycles for the cells assembled by the optimal hydrogel. This kind of material may be found its use in energy storage field.

Hollow carbon nanosheets with predominant mesopores have been demonstrated as a promising electrode material for supercapacitor , but their low specific surface area with relatively low micropore proportion limits their specific capacitance and energy density . Herein, we develop a novel extrusion plant microtube strategy to synthesize micron-sized nitrogen-doped hollow porous carbon nanosheets (MNHPCS) from dandelion fluff having the specific natural thin-wall and hollow tubular bundled structure through high-pressure extrusion, carbonization and KOH activation. The optimized MNHPCS displays strutted bilayer nanosheet structure, large SSA of 1593 m 2 g −1 , high micoporosity of 71.2 % and high heteroatom content (5.2 at.% for N, 7.0 at.% for O). Importantly, MNHPCS prepared by the new technique overcomes the drawbacks of hollow carbon nanosheets and presents an excellent capacitance of 378 F g −1 at 0.5 A g −1 and rate capability of 57 % at 80 A g −1 in 6 M KOH. Furthermore, the energy density of MNHPCS//MNHPCS based supercapacitor in EMIMBF 4 can reach up to 84 Wh kg −1 . Most importantly, MNHPCS can be easily achieved from various plant wastes having hollow tubular structure, which would provide a clearly method on selecting plant precursors for producing hollow porous carbon nanosheets applied on supercapacitors.

In this study, quasi-solid polymer electrolytes incorporating an ionic liquid (ILQSEs) fabricated in different organic solvents via a thermally-initiated polymerization strategy were investigated for flexible supercapacitors (SCs). It was found that low-viscous acetonitrile (AN) with a strongly-polar nitrile group was remained in the polymer matrix, which favored a higher ionic conductivity, wider electrochemical window, and better thermal stability of the ILQSE compared to its propylene carbonate (PC) counterpart. Moreover, the in situ polymerized quasi-solid electrolyte achieved close contact with the porous carbon electrode, accompanied by the favorable permeation of the IL into the electrode for enhancing the ion-transport kinetics and interface stability. Consequently, the as-assembled SC with the AN-based ILQSE delivered a high specific energy and specific power, excellent cycle stability, and reliable safety.

Potassium ion hybrid capacitors (PIHCs) have attracted widespread attention as combining the advantages of potassium ion batteries (PIBs) with supercapacitors . However, the sluggish kinetics caused by the large radius of K + hinder the practical application of PIHCs. Herein, we synthesized a boron and fluorine co-doping interlaced network porous carbon nanofibers (BF-PCNFs), which was used as the freestanding anode of PIHCs the freestanding anode of PIHCs to alleviate large volume expansion and increase conductivity. Benefiting from the B, F co-doping and porous interlace nanostructure of BF-PCNFs, the anode shows 185 mA h g −1 under a load of 12.6 mg cm −2 , a reversible capacity of 176 mA h g −1 at 1000 mA g −1 after 6000 cycles, and the capacity retention from 100 mA g −1 to 5000 mA g −1 is 62%. Furthermore, the PIHCs based on BF-PCNFs as anode and activated carbon as cathode exhibit an energy density of 87 Wh kg −1 and a power density of 393 W kg −1 . The capacity retention is as high as 78% over 4000 cycles. Considering the exceptional rate performance, long cyclability and high-mass-loading, our work may supply a new strategy for designing novel energy storage devices with outstanding performance.

The ion removal capacity of carbon based capacitive deionization (CDI) is limited by the double-layer mechanism. Replacing one electrode of the conventional carbon-based symmetric CDI with a battery-like ion insertion material to obtain hybrid capacitive deionization (HCDI) can significantly improve the adsorption capacity . Various ion insertion materials have been adopted for HCDI, however, how to optimize the performance of the HCDI system by matching the two electrodes with different ions removal mechanism remains challenging. In this work, a HCDI desalination cell was demonstrated by using NaTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /reduced graphene oxide composites (NTP-rGO-700) as the cathode and activated carbon (AC) as the anode. Based on the mass balance strategy of electrodes and the electrochemical behavior of hybrid capacitors with different AC:NTP-rGO-700 mass ratios, the HCDI desalination cell was assembled with the optimal AC:NTP-rGO-700 mass ratio of 2:1. At an operating voltage of 1.6 V and a current density of 125 mA·g −1 , the specific adsorption capacity (SAC) of the HCDI cell can reach 51 mg·g −1 with an average salt adsorption rate (ASAR) of 2 mg·g −1 ·min −1 , and the energy consumption (E m ) is 136.53 kJ·mol −1 . This work provides an efficient approach for developing high performance HCDI cell.

Compared to traditional extraction of lithium using solar evaporation, the electrochemical extraction is advantageous in many aspects, including elevated efficiency, superior selectivity, and low environmental pollution. In this study, LiNi 0·038 Mo 0·012 Mn 1·95 O 4 (LNMMO) with good lattice structure and nano morphology was successfully prepared and confirmed by XRD (X-ray diffraction), SEM-Mapping (scanning electron microscope mapping), SEM (scanning electron microscope), and EDX (Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy) analyses. The pairing of LNMMO with activated carbon (AC) yielded obvious cost-effective and environmentally friendly composite when compared to conventional Noble metals used for battery anodes, such as Ag and Pt. A hybrid supercapacitor was assembled using delithiated LNMMO cathode (NMMO) and AC anode to form NMMO/AC. The cell showed high capacity, high rate performance, and excellent cyclic stability. A continuous flow NMMO/AC hybrid supercapacitor (CF-NMMO/AC) was developed for selective capture of Li + in aqueous solution by combining NMMO/AC hybrid supercapacitor with self-designed continuous flow control system. The device delivered high Li + extraction efficiencies reaching 14.4 mg/g per one cycle in simulated brine by consuming only 7.91 W h/mol Li + . The overall process produced 97.2％ Li + in simulated brine at optimized operating conditions. Overall, CF-NMMO/AC system provided higher efficiency, superior selectivity, and moderate energy utilization for Li + recovery from brine.

Mg-based alloy anodes suffer from severe corrosion in conventional electrolytes (KOH solution) and this substantially obstructs the cycle life, which is a great challenge for using them in the Ni-MH battery. Herein, a high concentration tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) aqueous electrolyte with a special hydrate structure is explored and enables excellent cycle stability and high capacity for Mg-based alloy anodes. In this electrolyte, the Mg 0.4 Ti 0.1 Ni 0.5 alloy anode delivers a maximum discharge capacity of 466 mAh g −1 , and maintains 210 mAh g −1 after 100 cycles owing to the reduced corrosion rate , which are much better than that in 6 M KOH electrolyte, being 425 mAh g −1 and 69 mAh g −1 , respectively. Furthermore, by in-situ forming Cu coating on the Mg 0.4 Ti 0.1 Ni 0.5 electrode surface during charging process with the adding 0.01 M of Cu(OH) 2 in TMAH electrolyte, the corrosion of the electrode is further suppressed and the reversible capacity can reach 313 mAh g −1 after 100 cycles. The high conducting Cu coating can also increase the rate capability of the electrode by promoting the charge transfer. Thus, using TMAH electrolytes provides a new approach to promote the electrochemical performances of Ni-MH batteries with Mg-based alloy anodes.

Soy protein isolate (SPI) is one of the most abundant plant proteins in nature. Enormous studies have been carried out on SPI-based materials, however, the application for energy storage devices is still limited due to its fiddly film forming process and lack of electrochemical performance. Herein, we presented a SPI-based polymer electrolyte by grafting modification with the hydrophilic functional monomer acrylamide (AM). The optimized gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) exhibited an excellent ionic conductivity up to 5.10 mS cm −1 , which was greatly higher than gel polymer electrolyte based on original pure SPI (1.84 mS cm −1 ). More significantly, supercapacitors constructed by grafting-modified SPI delivered a specific capacitance of 141.74 F g −1 at 1.0 A g −1 and exhibited high capacitance retention of 95% after 8000 charge−discharge cycles. Beyond that, redox-active polymer electrolyte based on grafting-modified SPI combining with KI enormously improved the energy density of supercapacitor up to 27.52 Wh kg −1 at a current density of 0.5 A g −1 . This work provided a novel and facile strategy to obtain a high-performance SPI-based polymer electrolyte and laid an experimental foundation for the high-value application of SPI in the field of energy storage devices.

High energy and efficient solar charging stations using electrochemical capacitors (ECs) are a promising portable power source for the future. In this work, two kinds of metal-organic framework (MOF) derivatives, NiO/Co 3 O 4 microcubes and Fe 2 O 3 microleaves, are prepared via thermal treatment and assembled into electrochemical capacitors, which deliver a relatively high specific energy density of 46 Wh kg −1 at 690 W kg −1 . In addition, a solar-charging power system consisting of the electrochemical capacitors and monocrystalline silicon plates is fabricated and a motor fan or 25 LEDs for 5 and 30 min, respectively, is powered. This work not only adds two novel materials to the growing categories of MOF-derived advanced materials, but also successfully achieves an efficient solar-ECs system for the first time based on all MOF derivatives, which has a certain reference for developing efficient solar-charge systems.

Electrode materials with hollow micro/nanostructures and high electrical conductivity are important for achieving high-power supercapacitors, especially those with super-fast charging/discharging. TiN, which can be easily obtained from TiO2, is regarded as a high-power supercapacitor material. Here, we report that a nanoscale Kirkendall effect is triggered by surface branches on TiO2 nanowires, which then transform into hollow TiN nanotrees during a thermal nitridation process. The surface branches play a key role in accelerating the initial reaction, which forms a uniform, continuous surface TiN layer and induces the Kirkendall effect via surface diffusion. The hollow TiN nanotrees have a high surface area, porous structure, and high electrical conductivity. The constructed symmetric supercapacitors exhibit high areal and volumetric energy density, super-fast charge/discharge ability, and good capacitance retention up to 350 000 cycles. This work provides a new method to synthesize hollow TiN nanostructures and demonstrates their advantages in achieving high-power energy storage devices.

A nanocomposite soft actuator based on porous high-conductivity electrode membrane, which was composed of biopolymer cellulose mixed with chitosan and highly conductive nanoparticles generated by reduced graphene oxide encapsulated multi-walled carbon nanotube, was developed in this paper. No new substance was discovered in the regenerated electrode layer through the scanning analysis from FT-IR and XRD. Actuators exhibited significant enhancement in peak to peak displacement, which was 3.64 times increased than the traditional value at 5 V 0.1 Hz. With the test of solid-state electric double layer capacitor, actuators showed the highest specific capacitance (10.695 F g −1 ) at the current density of 1 A g −1 , the lowest internal resistance (9.2 Ω g −1 ) in the frequency range of 10 5 –10 −2 Hz, and the lowest energy density (901 Wh kg −1 ) at the current density of 10 A g −1 , which demonstrated the absolute advantages in the conductivity and channels for electrons. These findings suggest that research on porous high-conductivity electrode layer holds great promise in the further study of higher performance actuators.
