Carbon-Based Flexible and All-Solid-State Micro-supercapacitors Fabricated by Inkjet Printing with Enhanced Performance.

ABSTRACT:

Abstract

By means of inkjet printing technique, flexible and all-solid-state micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) were fabricated with carbon-based hybrid ink composed of graphene oxide (GO, 98.0 vol.%) ink and commercial pen ink (2.0 vol.%). A small amount of commercial pen ink was added to effectively reduce the agglomeration of the GO sheets during solvent evaporation and the following reduction processes in which the presence of graphite carbon nanoparticles served as nano-spacer to separate GO sheets. The printed device fabricated using the hybrid ink, combined with the binder-free microelectrodes and interdigital microelectrode configuration, exhibits nearly 780% enhancement in areal capacitance compared with that of pure GO ink. It also shows excellent flexibility and cycling stability with nearly 100% retention of the areal capacitance after 10,000 cycles. The all-solid-state device can be optionally connected in series or in parallel to meet the voltage and capacity requirements for a given application. This work demonstrates a promising future of the carbon-based hybrid ink for directly large-scale inkjet printing MSCs for disposable energy storage devices.

Solid Oxide Cell Electrode Nanocomposites Fabricated by Inkjet Printing Infiltration of Ceria Scaffolds.

Project description:The enhancement of solid oxide cell (SOC) oxygen electrode performance through the generation of nanocomposite electrodes via infiltration using wet-chemistry processes has been widely studied in recent years. An efficient oxygen electrode consists of a porous backbone and an active catalyst, which should provide ionic conductivity, high catalytic activity and electronic conductivity. Inkjet printing is a versatile additive manufacturing technique, which can be used for reliable and homogeneous functionalization of SOC electrodes via infiltration for either small- or large-area devices. In this study, we implemented the utilization of an inkjet printer for the automatic functionalization of different gadolinium-doped ceria scaffolds, via infiltration with ethanol:water-based La1-xSrxCo1-yFeyO3-δ (LSCF) ink. Scaffolds based on commercial and mesoporous Gd-doped ceria (CGO) powders were used to demonstrate the versatility of inkjet printing as an infiltration technique. Using yttrium-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) commercial electrolytes, symmetrical LSCF/LSCF-CGO/YSZ/LSCF-CGO/LSCF cells were fabricated via infiltration and characterized by SEM-EDX, XRD and EIS. Microstructural analysis demonstrated the feasibility and reproducibility of the process. Electrochemical characterization lead to an ASR value of ≈1.2 Ω cm2 at 750 °C, in the case of nanosized rare earth-doped ceria scaffolds, with the electrode contributing ≈0.18 Ω cm2. These results demonstrate the feasibility of inkjet printing as an infiltration technique for SOC fabrication.

3D Crumpled Ultrathin 1T MoS2 for Inkjet Printing of Mg-Ion Asymmetric Micro-supercapacitors.

Project description:Metallic molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), e.g., 1T phase, is touted as a highly promising material for energy storage that already displays a great capacitive performance. However, due to its tendency to aggregate and restack, it remains a formidable challenge to assemble a high-performance electrode without scrambling the intrinsic structure. Here, we report an electrohydrodynamic-assisted fabrication of 3D crumpled MoS2 (c-MoS2) and its formation of an additive-free stable ink for scalable inkjet printing. The 3D c-MoS2 powders exhibited a high concentration of metallic 1T phase and an ultrathin structure. The aggregation-resistant properties of the 3D crumpled particles endow the electrodes with open space for electrolyte ion transport. Importantly, we experimentally discovered and theoretically validated that 3D 1T c-MoS2 enables an extended electrochemical stable working potential range and enhanced capacitive performance in a bivalent magnesium-ion aqueous electrolyte. With reduced graphene oxide (rGO) as the positive electrode material, we inkjet-printed 96 rigid asymmetric micro-supercapacitors (AMSCs) on a 4-in. Si/SiO2 wafer and 100 flexible AMSCs on photo paper. These AMSCs exhibited a wide stable working voltage of 1.75 V and excellent capacitance retention of 96% over 20 000 cycles for a single device. Our work highlights the promise of 3D layered materials as well-dispersed functional materials for large-scale printed flexible energy storage devices.

Drying-Mediated Self-Assembly of Graphene for Inkjet Printing of High-Rate Micro-supercapacitors.

Project description:Scalable fabrication of high-rate micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) is highly desired for on-chip integration of energy storage components. By virtue of the special self-assembly behavior of 2D materials during drying thin films of their liquid dispersion, a new inkjet printing technique of passivated graphene micro-flakes is developed to directly print MSCs with 3D networked porous microstructure. The presence of macroscale through-thickness pores provides fast ion transport pathways and improves the rate capability of the devices even with solid-state electrolytes. During multiple-pass printing, the porous microstructure effectively absorbs the successively printed inks, allowing full printing of 3D structured MSCs comprising multiple vertically stacked cycles of current collectors, electrodes, and sold-state electrolytes. The all-solid-state heterogeneous 3D MSCs exhibit excellent vertical scalability and high areal energy density and power density, evidently outperforming the MSCs fabricated through general printing techniques.

Solid-state high performance flexible supercapacitors based on polypyrrole-MnO2-carbon fiber hybrid structure.

Project description:A solid-state flexible supercapacitor (SC) based on organic-inorganic composite structure was fabricated through an "in situ growth for conductive wrapping" and an electrode material of polypyrrole (PPy)-MnO2 nanoflakes-carbon fiber (CF) hybrid structure was obtained. The conductive organic material of PPy greatly improved the electrochemical performance of the device. With a high specific capacitance of 69.3?F cm(-3) at a discharge current density of 0.1?A cm(-3) and an energy density of 6.16 × 10(-3)?Wh cm(-3) at a power density of 0.04?W cm(-3), the device can drive a commercial liquid crystal display (LCD) after being charged. The organic-inorganic composite active materials have enormous potential in energy management and the "in situ growth for conductive wrapping" method might be generalized to open up new strategies for designing next-generation energy storage devices.

Systematic Design of Polypyrrole/Carbon Fiber Electrodes for Efficient Flexible Fiber-Type Solid-State Supercapacitors.

Project description:Fiber-type supercapacitors (FSC) have attracted much attention as efficient energy storage devices for soft electronics. This study proposes the synthesis of polypyrrole (PPy) on carbon fiber (CF) using electropolymerization as the energy storage electrode for FSC. Effects of the electrolyte, applied current, and time of electropolymerization for synthesizing PPy on CF are investigated. The configuration of the electrochemical system is also studied to better understand the electropolymerization of PPy. The highest specific capacitance (CM) of 308.2 F/g are obtained for the PPy electrode prepared using 0.5 M pyrrole and 0.3 M NaClO4 as the electrolyte at 40 mA for 20 min. The FSC assembled with PPy electrodes and the polyvinyl alcohol/H3PO4 gel electrolyte shows a CM value of 30 F/g and the energy density of 5.87 Wh/kg at the power density of 60.0 W/kg. Excellent cycling stability with CM retention of 70% and Coulombic efficiency higher than 98% in 3000 times charge/discharge process, and the good bending capability with CM retention of 153% and 148%, respectively, under the bending angle of 180° and the bending times of 600 are achieved. This work gives deeper understanding of electropolymerization and provides recipes for fabricating an efficient PPy electrode for soft energy storage devices.

Redox mediator-enhanced charge storage in dimensionally tailored nanostructures towards flexible hybrid solid-state supercapacitors.

Project description:Although extensive research has been performed on metal oxide-based supercapacitors during recent years, they remain lacking in their intrinsic conductivity and stability. To resolve this, 1D/2D heterostructure materials are being utilized, which significantly improves the performance and stability of both materials while employing their synergistic advantage consisting of morphologically tuned surfaces and superior electroactive sites. However, the performance remains unsatisfactory due to the sluggish faradaic reaction at the electrode/electrolyte interface. To address this challenge, we combined the synergistic advantage of morphological nanoengineering and the fast reaction kinetics of redox mediators, thus anticipating superior energy storage performance. A novel 1D/2D heterostructure of ZnCo2O4 (ZCO) and GaN was designed and implemented for the first time, and it demonstrated an excellent specific capacitance of 1693 F g-1 in the mixed electrolyte of KOH and K4[Fe(CN)6]. The all-solid-state flexible hybrid supercapacitor delivered an energy density of 92.63 W h kg-1 at a power density of 1287.52 W kg-1, with superb stability and mechanical endurance that outperformed previously reported ZCO-based materials. Additionally, we delineated the underlying mechanism governing the utilization of redox mediators along with morphological nanoengineering, which will facilitate the current development of state-of-the-art energy storage systems.

Green Precursors and Soft Templating for Printing Porous Carbon-Based Micro-supercapacitors.

Project description:A combination of soft lithographic printing and soft templating has been used to fabricate high-resolution interdigitated micro-supercapacitors (MSC). Surfactant-assisted self-assembly produces high surface area ordered mesoporous carbons (490 m2 g-1 ). For the first time, such precursors have been printed by nano-imprint lithography as microdevices with a line width of only 250 nm and a spacing of only 1 μm. The devices are crack-free with low specific resistance (1.2×10-5 Ωm) and show good device capacitance up to 0.21 F cm-3 .

Quasi-Solid-State Electrochromic Cells with Energy Storage Properties Made with Inkjet Printing.

Project description:In common commercially available electrochromic glass panes, the active materials such as WO3 and NiOx films are typically deposited by either physical vapor or sputtering under vacuum. In the present studies, we report on the inkjet printing method to deposit both electrochromic and ion storage electrode layers under ambient conditions. An ion storage layer based on cerium modified TiO2 and electrochromic nanocrystalline WO3 were both prepared under the wet method and deposited as inks on conductive substrates. Both compounds possess porous morphology facilitating high ion diffusion during electrochemical processes. In particular, the ion storage layer was evaluated in terms of porosity, charge capacity and ion diffusion coefficient. A scaled up 90 cm2 electrochromic device with quasi-solid-state electrolyte was made with the aforementioned materials and evaluated in terms of optical modulation in the visible region, cyclic voltammetry and color efficiency. High contrast between 13.2% and 71.6% for tinted and bleached states measured at 550 nm was monitored under low bias at +2.5 volt and -0.3 volts respectively. Moreover, the calculated energy density equal to 1.95 × 10-3 mWh cm-2 and the high areal capacitance of 156.19 mF cm-2 of the device could combine the electrochromic behavior of the cell with energy storage capability so as to be a promising candidate for future applications into smart buildings.

When cycled at a current density of 5 mA cm-2, the device delivered 121 mF cm-2, and showed good cycling stability after 3,000 cycles. Moreover, the all-solid-state NH4NiPO4·H2O//graphene supercapacitor also exhibit high mechanical flexibility with well-maintained specific capacitance, even under bending to arbitrary angles (up to 180°) and different weights (up to 50 g).

High-Performance Flexible Solid-State Carbon Cloth Supercapacitors Based on Highly Processible N-Graphene Doped Polyacrylic Acid/Polyaniline Composites.

Project description:Improving the solubility of conductive polymers to facilitate processing usually decreases their conductivity, and they suffer from poor cycling stability due to swelling-shrinking during charging cycles. We circumvent these problems with a novel preparation method for nitrogen-doped graphene (NG) enhanced polyacrylic acid/polyaniline (NG-PAA/PANI) composites, ensuring excellent processibility for scalable production. The content of PANI is maximized under the constraint of still allowing defect-free coatings on filaments of carbon cloth (CC). The NG content is then adjusted to optimize specific capacitance. The optimal CC electrodes have 32 wt.% PANI and 1.3 wt.% NG, thus achieving a high capacitance of 521 F/g at 0.5 F/g. A symmetric supercapacitor made from 20 wt.% PANI CC electrodes has more than four times the capacitance (68 F/g at 1 A/g) of previously reported flexible capacitors based on PANI-carbon nanotube composites, and it retains the full capacitance under large bending angles. The capacitor exhibits high energy and power densities (5.8 Wh/kg at 1.1 kW/kg), a superior rate capability (still 81% of the 1 A/g capacitance at 10 A/g), and long-term electrochemical stability (83.2% retention after 2000 cycles).
