Title: Large Areal Mass, Mechanically Tough and Freestanding Electrode Based on Heteroatom-doped Carbon Nanofibers for Flexible Supercapacitors. Author: Liu R, Ma L, Mei J, Huang S, Yang S, Li E, Yuan G. Journal: Chemistry; 2017 Feb 21; 23(11):2610-2618. PubMed ID: 28000323. Abstract: A flexible and freestanding supercapacitor electrode with a N,P-co-doped carbon nanofiber network (N,P-CNFs)/graphene (GN) composite loaded on bacterial cellulose (BC) is first designed and fabricated in a simple, low-cost, and effective approach. The porous structure and excellent mechanical properties make the BC paper an ideal substrate that shows a large areal mass of 8 mg cm-2 . As a result, the flexible N,P-CNFs/GN/BC paper electrode shows appreciable areal capacitance (1990 mF cm-2 in KOH and 2588 mF cm-2 in H2 SO4 electrolytes) without sacrificing gravimetric capacitance (248.8 F g-1 and 323.5 F g-1 ), exhibits excellent cycling ability (without capacity loss after 20 000 cycles), and remarkable tensile strength (42.8 MPa). By direct coupling of two membrane electrodes, the symmetric supercapacitor delivers a prominent areal capacitance of 690 mF cm-2 in KOH and 898 mF cm-2 in H2 SO4 , and remarkable power/energy density (19.98 mW cm-2 /0.096 mW h cm-2 in KOH and 35.01 mW cm-2 /0.244 mW h cm-2 in H2 SO4 ). Additionally, it shows stable behavior in both bent and flat states. These results promote new opportunities for N,P-CNFs/GN/BC paper electrodes as high areal performance, freestanding electrodes for flexible supercapacitors.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
