摘要Nickel oxide(NiO)‐based electrodes with high theoretical specific capacitance can effectively increase the energy density of supercapacitors-the key factor limiting their practical deployment.However,several issues still restrict the production of advanced NiO‐based electrodes.First,a facile strategy to concurrently enhance surface‐interface and bulk conductivity is still absent,limiting the overall electrode conductivity.Second,strategies that boost OH−affinity often increase its desorption barrier,impeding OH−migration.Herein,to address these issues,heterostructured Ni/NiO porous nanoflowers with P‐doping sites and abundant surface PO43−groups(P‐PO4‐Ni/NiO)are prepared through simple phosphidation.In this material,(1)the heterojunction between Ni and P‐doped NiO increases the overall electrode conductivity;(2)surface PO43−groups and P‐doping sites synergistically boost the affinity for OH−and improve their transfer kinetics;and(3)owing to their structure,porous nanoflowers show a large electrolyte contact area.As a result,the specific capacitance of P‐PO4‐Ni/NiO is five times higher than that of pristine NiO.When assembled into asymmetric supercapacitors,the device exhibits an energy density of 33.1 Wh kg−1at 750 W kg−1.At−40°C,the device retains 62.0%of its room‐temperature capacitance and shows nearly no fade after 20,000 charge-discharge cycles.This work presents a robust route for the development of practical transition metal oxide‐based supercapacitors.

摘要Layered double hydroxides(LDHs)hold great promise for flexible solid-state supercapacitors owing to their high theoretical capacitance and distinctive architecture.However,their proneness to agglomeration and poor electrical conductivity have long hindered the manifestation of outstanding electrochemical performance.In a groundbreaking approach,we have engineered a hierarchical carbon nanofiber-based Ni Co2S4/NiCo-LDH/C nanostructure array.The meticulously crafted hierarchical structure not only imparts remarkable stability to the electrode but also ingeniously harnesses the synergistic interplay among materials.Through density functional theory calculations,we have precisely identified and verified the active sites for charge transfer,unveiling a new understanding of the underlying mechanisms.This unique structure significantly facilitates ion transfer in the vicinity of NiCo-LDH,substantially elevates electrical conductivity,and notably increases the adsorption capacity of OH-.Moreover,it gives a substantial boost to the quantum capacitance.As a result,the electrode showcases a high specific capacitance of 1838.3F/g.This research pioneers an effective and versatile strategy that can be readily applied to the majority of LDHs,opening up new avenues for enhancing their efficiency of supercapacitor materials.

摘要High-entropy oxides(HEOs)exhibit great potential as supercapacitor electrode materials,but their practical application is hindered by inherent challenges such as structural instability,insufficient conductivity,and difficulties in regulating oxygen vacancies.To overcome these limitations,we present a dual-defect engineering strategy:tailoring the elemental composition of FeZnCuCoNi-based HEOs to generate abundant oxygen vacancies,and constructing a hierarchical,3D multi-shell porous network structure via an in situ template method.Density functional theory calculations reveal that high-entropy lattice distortion significantly enhances oxygen vacancy concentration while reducing charge transfer barriers.Additionally,the multi-layered eggshell morphology creates interconnected ion diffusion pathways,shortens ion transport distances,and reinforces mechanical integrity.The optimized HEO electrode demonstrates remarkable electrochemical performance,achieving a specific capacitance of 641 F g⁻¹at 1 A g⁻¹,with a 92% electric double-layer contribution at 50 mV s⁻¹.The assembled asymmetric supercapacitor delivers an energy density of 36.7 Wh kg⁻¹ at a power density of 800 W kg⁻¹,while maintaining 92% of its initial capacity after 10000 charge-discharge cycles.Mechanistic studies indicate that oxygen vacancies optimize hydroxyl adsorption kinetics,facilitating surface charge transfer,while the hierarchical porous structure effectively mitigates volumetric expansion stress via a 3D ion transport network.This work offers a strategic framework for designing next-generation high-entropy energy storage materials by providing a synergy between atomic-scale electronic tuning and mesoscale structural design.

摘要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 ZnFeN6 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.

摘要Conventional lignin-based carbons typically have sluggish ion transport and a limited number of active sites,which restrict their performance as electrodes in supercapacitors.A Moiré-like morphology was engineered by the insitu deposition of lignin carbon onto DVD matrix onto lignin carbon for the fabrication of a photo-assisted supercapacitor(PASC).The Moiré-like structure modulates light propagation across different frequencies by dispersion effects,thereby increasing surface light absorption and improving the electrochemical performance of the PASC.Under illumination,the carbon has a specific capacitance of 253.5 F g−1at 0.5 A g−1,corresponding to a 35.6%improvement over one without this grating surface(186.9 F g−1).A symmetrical capacitor using this material has an areal capacitance of 58.84 mF cm−2and an energy density of 4.46 Wh kg−1at a power density of 365.2 W kg−1,maintaining 85.2%of its initial capacitance after 5000 cycles,thus demonstrating excellent cycling stability.This work suggests a cost-effective strategy to simultaneously improve the light-harvesting ability and capacitive performance of PASCs.

摘要Biomass-derived activated carbon is a highly promising electrode material for supercapacitors.However,its widespread application is often limited by insufficient power density,stemming from low electrical conductivity and sluggish ionic transport.To address these challenges,we developed a difluorocarbene-grafted strategy that fluorinates surface carbonyl groups on carbon through a gassolid reaction path.This process effectively induces a redistribution of carbon atomic electron density and concurrently reconfigures the microporous-mesoporous architecture.The resultant synergistic effects significantly enhance both charge transport efficiency and ionic storage capacity.The optimized fluorinated macadamia nut shell-derived activated carbon(F-MNSAC)exhibits a remarkable compaction density of 0.64 g cm-3,an electrical conductivity of 3.34 S mm-1,and a substantial pore volume of1.213 m3g-1.The supercapacitor based on F-MNSAC delivers a higher specific capacitance(33.63 F g-1at 1 A g-1)than commercialized YP-50F(~27 F g-1at 1 A g-1),and outstanding rate capability(86.6%capacity retention at 50 A g-1).Consequently,the device achieves a high energy density of24.1 Wh kg-1at a high power density of 61.2 kW kg-1.This work establishes a new paradigm for developing high-performance carbon materials and lays a firm technological foundation for advancing nextgeneration,high-power supercapacitors.

摘要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-WO3),with its well-defined tunnel structure,holds great promise as a negative electrode material for NH4+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 NH4+pre-intercalation to concurrently optimize the tunnel structure and electronic environment of h-WO3(Mo-NWO).Comprehensive experimental and theoretical analyses reveal that Mo doping narrows the bandgap of WO3and reduces the diffusion energy barrier,thereby accelerating NH4+adsorption and diffusion.Simultaneously,NH4+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−2at 5 mA cm−2and retains 80.14%of its capacitance after 5000 cycles,demonstrating exceptional rate capability and cycling stability.Moreover,the assembled Mn3O4//Mo-NWO/AC device delivers a high energy density of 3.41 mWh cm−2and outstanding long-term stability(85.75%retention after 12,000 cycles).This work provides a viable strategy for designing high-performance NH4+storage materials and advances the development of sustainable energy storage systems.

摘要Achieving thick electrodes concurrent with efficient ion and electron transport remains a critical bottleneck in enhancing the areal energy density of micro-supercapacitors(MSCs).Herein,a quasi-solid-state MSC with bicontinuous thick electrodes is constructed,in which an asymmetric geometry composed of nickel hexacyanoferrate(NiHCF)and activated carbon(AC)is employed.This electrode architecture provides both continuous electron pathways and interconnected porosity,supporting high mass loading simultaneously with fast transport dynamics.The resulting NiHCF//AC MSCs show a wide potential window of 1.6 V,a superior areal capacitance up to 1826 mF cm-2at 1 mA cm-2,a notable energy density of 649μWh cm-2,and excellent cycling stability(90.2%retention of the initial capacitance after 2000 cycles).Moreover,the MSCs demonstrate excellent mechanical toughness and can be integrated into series-parallel configurations for tunable output.This work mitigates the trade-off between mass loading and charge transport,offering a feasible route toward highenergy-density,flexible,and scalable micro-energy storage systems.

摘要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.

摘要Bio-derived carbon cryogels have garnered significant interest as promising electrode materials for supercapacitors due to their high specific surface area(SSA),hierarchical porosity,and eco-friendly synthesis methods.In this study,a tannin-modified phenolic hydrogel was synthesized using a sustainable tannin-phenol precursor system and subsequently subjected to three distinct drying methods-freeze-drying(FD),supercritical drying(SCD),and ambient pressure drying(APD)-to systematically evaluate their influence on structural integrity,porosity,and electrochemical behavior.Among these,the sample obtained via freeze-drying(TPUF-FD)maintained the most intact porous network,minimizing structural collapse during sublimation of ice under vacuum.This preservation of hierarchical micro-and mesopores facilitated enhanced ion diffusion,leading to the highest SSA and favorable nitrogen/oxygen functionalities that contribute to both electric double-layer capacitance and pseudocapacitance.The TPUF-FD electrode exhibited a high specific capacitance of 127.6 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1,maintaining 107.0 F g-1 at 10 A g-1,which corresponds to a rate retention of 83.9%.When assembled into a symmetric device,the supercapacitor achieved an energy density of 8.47 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 562.5 W kg-1.Notably,the device retained 100%of its initial capacitance after 9000 charge-discharge cycles at 10 A g-1 with excellent coulombic efficiency(108.3%).These results underscore the crucial role of freeze-drying in preserving both the microstructural features and surface chemistry of biomass-derived carbon cryogels,which enhances ion accessibility and contributes to the stable,high-performance supercapacitor applications.
