By involving laser-scribing technique, the electrode film can be patterned with a high resolution and fabricated into a planar micro-supercapacitor,showing the maximum energy density of 6.83 mWh/cm^3 at the power density of 154.3 mW/cm^3, and maintained a value of 2.71 mWh/cm^3 at the maximum power density of 2557.5 mW/cm^3. Considering the versatility of the laser-scribing technical platform, the micro-supercapacitors fabricated in this way exhibit excellent aesthetic property and can cater to various miniaturized wearable electronic applications. This technology opens up opportunities for facile and scalable fabrication of high performance energy devices with shape diversity and a meaning of art.展开更多
