However, high power density and long cycle life are still challenges for the cul~ rent LIHSs due to the imbalance of charge-storage capacity and electrode kinetics between capacitor-type cathode and battery-type anode. Therefore, great efforts have been made on designing novel cathode materials with high storage capacity and anode material with enhanced kinetic behavior for LIHSs. With unique two-dimensional form and numerous appealing properties, for the past several years, the rational designed graphene and its composites materials exhibit greatly improved electrochemical performance as cathode or anode for LIHSs.

In addition, some high performance aqueous LIHSs using graphene as electrode were also summarized. Finally, the perspectives and challenges are also proposed for further develop- ment of more advanced graphene-based LIHSs.展开更多

The hybrid type supercapacitors (PLi/C) based on Li-doping polyaniline and activated carbon electrode were fabricated and compared with the redox type capacitors (PLi/PLi) based on two uniformly Li-doping polyaniline electrodes. The electrochemical performances of the two types of supercapacitors were characterized in non-aqueous electrolyte. PLi/C supercapacitors have a wider effective energy storage potential range and a higher upper potential. At the same time, the PLi/C supercapacitor exhibits a specific capacity of 120.93 F/g at initial discharge and retains 80% after 500 cycles. The ohmic internal resistance (RES) of PLi/C supercapacitor is 5.0 Ω, which is smaller than that of PLi/PLi capacitor (5.5 Ω). Moreover, it can be seen that Et4NBF4 organic solution is more suitable for using as organic electrolyte of PLi/C capacitor compared with organic solution containing LiPF6.展开更多

Li-HSCs and DIBs have similarities in device structure, tendency for ion migration, and energy storage mechanisms at the negative electrode. However, these devices have differences in energy storage mechanisms and working potentials at the positive electrode. Here, we first realize the integration of a Li-HSC and a DIB to form a dual-ion hybrid supercapacitor(DIHSC), by employing mesocarbon microbead(MCMB)-based porous graphitic carbon(PGC) with a partially graphitized structure and porous structure as a positive electrode material. The MCMB-PGC-based DIHSC exhibits a novel dual-ion battery-capacitor hybrid mechanism: it exhibits excellent electronic double-layer capacitor(EDLC) behavior like a Li-HSC in the low-middle wide potential range and anion intercalation/de-intercalation behavior like a DIB in the high-potential range. Two types of mechanisms are observed in the electrochemical characterization process, and the energy density of the new DIHSC is significantly increased.展开更多

However, the nanosheets are easily self-restacked during the assembly into macroscopic porous electrodes, resulting in a significantly reduced effective surface area, hindering their applications in energy storage. Here, MXenes are subtly distributed on the surface of the sponge in a coral-like structure rather than participating in the assembly of the framework, which has suppressed the self-restacking of MXene effectively, improved the hydrophilicity of the sponge, and provided fast diffusion channels for electrolyte ions. Therefore, the MXene-TiC-reduced graphene oxide sponge exhibits excellent electrical conductivity, an enormous specific surface area with abundant accessible electroactive sites, and superior electrochemical performance. The resulting sponge demonstrates an outstanding specific capacity, up to 501 mAh g–1 at 0.2 A g–1 , with excellent capacity retention (90%) after 3100 cycles as Zinc-ion hybrid supercapacitor cathodes. Furthermore, it exhibits an elegant gravimetric energy density of 486 mWh g–1 at 415 mW g–1 , which has surpassed most leading MXene-based Zn-ion cathodes. This work provides a new synthetic idea for MXene-based macro-composites and paves a new avenue for designing next-generation flexible and portable porous electrodes with high gravimetric and rate performances.展开更多

Compared to batteries and traditional capacitors, supercapacitors possess more balanced performance with both high specific power and long cycle-life. Nevertheless, regular supercapacitors can only achieve energy storage without harvesting energy and the energy density is still not very high compared to batteries.

In this survey, the research progress of all kinds of hybrid supercapacitors using multiple effects and their working mechanisms are briefly reviewed. And their advantages and disadvantages are discussed. The hybrid supercapacitors have great application potential for portable electronics, wearable devices and implantable devices in the future.展开更多

文摘The recent advances in aqueous magnesium-ion hybrid supercapacitor(MHSC)have attracted great attention as it brings together the benefits of high energy density,high power density,and synchronously addresses cost and safety issues.However,the freeze of aqueous electrolytes discourages aqueous MHSC from operating at low-temperature conditions.Here,a low-concentration aqueous solution of 4 mol L^(-1) Mg(ClO_(4))_(2) is devised for its low freezing point(-67℃)and ultra-high ionic conductivity(3.37 mS cm^(-1) at-50℃).Both physical characterizations and computational simulations revealed that the Mg(ClO_(4))_(2) can effectively disrupt the original hydrogen bond network among water molecules via transmuting the electrolyte structure,thus yielding a low freezing point.Thus,the Mg(ClO_(4))_(2) electrolytes endue aqueous MHSC with a wider temperature operation range(-50℃–25℃)and a higher energy density of 103.9 Wh kg^(-1) at 3.68 kW kg^(-1) over commonly used magnesium salts(i.e.,MgSO_(4) and Mg(NO_(3))_(2))electrolytes.Furthermore,a quasi-solid-state MHSC based on polyacrylamide-based hydrogel electrolyte holds superior low-temperature performance,excellentflexibility,and high safety.This work pioneers a convenient,cheap,and eco-friendly tactic to procure low-temperature aqueous magnesium-ion energy storage device.

文摘Hybrid supercapacitors have shown great potentials to fulfill the demand of future diverse applications such as electric vehicles and portable/wearable electronics.In particular,aqueous zinc-ion hybrid supercapacitors(ZHSCs)have gained much attention due to their low-cost,high energy density,and environmental friendliness.Nevertheless,typical ZHSCs use Zn metal anode and normal liquid electrolyte,causing the dendrite issue,restricted working temperature,and inferior device flexibility.Herein,a novel flexible Zn-ion hybrid supercapacitor(FZHSC)is developed by using activated carbon(AC)anode,δ-MnO_(2) cathode,and innovative PVA-based gel electrolyte.In this design,heavy Zn anode and its dendrite issue are avoided and layered cathode with large interlayer spacing is employed.In addition,flexible electrodes are prepared and integrated with an anti-freezing,stretchable,and compressible hydrogel electrolyte,which is attained by simultaneously using glycerol additive and freezing/thawing technique to regulate the hydrogen bond and microstructure.The resulting FZHSC exhibits good rate capability,high energy density(47.86 Wh kg^(−1);3.94 mWh cm^(−3)),high power density(5.81 kW kg^(−1);480 mW cm^(−3)),and excellent cycling stability(~91%capacity retention after 30000 cycles).Furthermore,our FZHSC demonstrates outstanding flexibility with capacitance almost unchanged even after various continuous shape deformations.The hydrogel electrolyte still maintains high ionic conductivity at ultralow temperatures(≤−30℃),enabling the FZHSC cycled well,and powering electronic timer robustly within an all-climate temperature range of−30~80℃.This work highlights that the promising Zn metal-free aqueous ZHSCs can be designed with great multifunctionality for more practical application scenarios.

文摘The poor rate capability and low capacity are huge barriers to realize the commercial applications of battery-type transition metal compounds(TMCs) cathode.Herein,numerous Se vacancy defects are introduced into the Ni_(3)Se_(2)lamellas by pre-lithiation technique,which can be acted as a novel class of battery-type cathode for hybrid supercapacitors.Appropriately modulating the contents of the preembedded lithium(Li) ions can induce a controllable vacancy content in the series of as-prepared products,effectively endowing a fast reaction kinetic and high activity for the cathode.Benefiting from the distinct design,the optimized cathode(Li2-Ni_(3)Se_(2)) presents a high specific capacity of 236 mA h g^(-1)at1 A g^(-1),importantly,it can still possess 117 mA h g^(-1)when the current density is increased up to 100A g^(-1),exhibiting relatively high rate capability.It is much superior to other battery-type TMC cathodes reported in previous studies.Moreover,the cathode also shows the excellent cycling stability with 92%capacity retention after 3,000 cycles.In addition,a hybrid supercapacitor(HSC) is assembled with the obtained Li2-Ni_(3)Se_(2)as the cathode and active carbon(AC) as the anode,which delivers a high energy density of 77 W h kg^(-1)at 4 kW kg^(-1)and long-term durability(90% capacitance retention after 10,000 cycles).Therefore,the strategy not only provides an effective way to realize the controllable vacancy content in TMCs for achieving high-perfo rmance cathodes for HSC,but also further promotes their large-scale applications in the energy storage fields.

文摘Nickel selenide(NiSe)has been a promising positive electrode for hybrid supercapacitors due to its multiple oxidation states,tunability,and high specific capacity.However,sluggish ion transfers and particle agglomeration hamper its electrochemical performance.In the present study,we have grown NiSe nanoparticles on two-dimensional(2D)graphitic carbon nitride(g-C_(3)N_(4))nanosheets to realize three-dimensional(3D)architecture.The 2D support,high nitrogen content,and features of g-C_(3)N_(4)enhanced the specific capacity of the NiSe/g-C_(3)N_(4)nanocomposite material.The resulting nanocomposite shows a specific capacity of 320 mA h g^(-1)at a current density of 1 A g^(-1),which is considerably higher than pristine NiSe.Later,the hybrid supercapacitor(HSC)device was fabricated using NiSe/g-C_(3)N_(4)composite as positive and activated carbon(AC)as negative electrodes.The cell delivered an energy density of 52.5 Wh kg^(-1)at a power density of 1488 W kg^(-1)with excellent cyclic stability of 84.9%over 8000 cycles.The electrochemical performance enhancement corresponds to a 3D structure,high electrochemical active sites,and improved charge transportation at the electrode/electrolyte interface.Thus,the present work offers an easy approach and architectural design for high-performance HSC.

文摘As a new generation of Zn-ion storage systems,Zn-ion hybrid supercapacitors(ZHSCs)garner tremendous interests recently from researchers due to the perfect integration of batteries and supercapacitors.ZHSCs have excellent integration of high energy density and power density,which seamlessly bridges the gap between batteries and supercapacitors,becoming one of the most viable future options for large-scale equipment and portable electronic devices.However,the currently reported two configurations of ZHSCs and corresponding energy storage mechanisms still lack systematic analyses.Herein,this review will be prudently organized from the perspectives of design strategies,electrode configurations,energy storage mechanisms,recent advances in electrode materials,electrolyte behaviors and further applications(micro or flexible devices)of ZHSCs.The synthesis processes and electrochemical properties of well-designed Zn anodes,capacitor-type electrodes and novel Zn-ion battery-type cathodes are comprehensively discussed.Finally,a brief summary and outlook for the further development of ZHSCs are presented as well.This review will provide timely access for researchers to the recent works regarding ZHSCs.

文摘Aqueous Zn-ion hybrid supercapacitors(ZHSs)are increasingly being studied as a novel electrochemical energy storage system with prominent electrochemical performance,high safety and low cost.Herein,high-energy and anti-self-discharge ZHSs are realized based on the fibrous carbon cathodes with hierarchically porous surface and O/N heteroatom functional groups.Hierarchically porous surface of the fabricated free-standing fibrous carbon cathodes not only provides abundant active sites for divalent ion storage,but also optimizes ion transport kinetics.Consequently,the cathodes show a high gravimetric capacity of 156 mAh g^(−1),superior rate capability(79 mAh g^(−1)with a very short charge/discharge time of 14 s)and exceptional cycling stability.Meanwhile,hierarchical pore structure and suitable surface functional groups of the cathodes endow ZHSs with a high energy density of 127 Wh kg−1,a high power density of 15.3 kW kg^(−1)and good anti-self-discharge performance.Mechanism investigation reveals that ZHS electrochemistry involves cation adsorption/desorption and Zn_(4)SO_(4)(OH)_(6)·5H_(2)O formation/dissolution at low voltage and anion adsorption/desorption at high voltage on carbon cathodes.The roles of these reactions in energy storage of ZHSs are elucidated.This work not only paves a way for high-performance cathode materials of ZHSs,but also provides a deeper understanding of ZHS electrochemistry.

文摘Zinc-ion hybrid supercapacitors(ZHSCs)have garnered increasing attention as promising energy storage devices in recent years,as they combine the advantages of high-energy Zn-ion batteries and high-power supercapacitors.However,the development of ZHSCs is still in its infancy and there are many bottlenecks to overcome.In particular,the challenge induced by the limited ion adsorption capability of carbon-positive electrodes severely restricts the energy density of ZHSCs.Therefore,it has become a key issue to design novel carbon-positive electrodes that enable high energy density yet do not deteriorate the intrinsic power capability and long-term durability.This study focuses on recent achievements in synthesis,morphology,and electrochemical performance of various carbon materials applied in ZHSCs.The modification strategies to optimize their electrochemical performance are briefly summarized.In addition,current challenges and future opportunities in this field are also outlined.This review will be beneficial to provide an organized framework for the research systems of carbon-positive electrodes and develop novel ZHSCs with high energy density.
文摘Zinc ion hybrid supercapacitor (ZIHSC) with promising energy and power densities is an excellent answer to the ever-growing demand for energy storage devices.The restricted lifespan due to the dendrite formation on metallic zinc (Zn) is one of the main roadblocks.Herein,we investigate the electrochemical capability of oxygen-enriched porous carbon nanofibers (A-CNF) and nitrogen,oxygen-enriched porous carbon nanofibers (N-CNF) cathode materials for structural ZIHSCs.To this end,a series of samples with different chemical compositions (N and O contents) are prepared to present deep insight into the electrochemical mechanism between N/O doping and Zn-ion storage.The as-prepared ZIHSC in the presence of N-CNF cathode and Zn Cl_(2) electrolyte offers a battery-level gravimetric energy density of 143.2 Wh kg^(-1)at a power density of 367.1 W kg^(-1).The free-standing N-CNF electrodes in ZIHSCs enjoy delivering an outstanding areal energy density of 110.4μWh cm^(-2)at 0.24 m W cm^(-2),excellent rate capability,and noticeable cycling stability over 10,000 cycles at 10 A g^(-1)with less than 7%decay.It was also concluded that active pyrrolic N dopants might deliver and facilitate more pseudocapacitance in ZIHSCs than other N configurations,resulting in higher adsorption/desorption and insertion/extraction process of Zn Cl^(+).Taking advantage of the beneficial properties of a free-standing continuous cathode,this novel generation of structural cathode material offers high areal and gravimetric energy densities and mechanical properties in a single zinc-ion-based package.

文摘Lithium-ion hybrid supercapacitors (LIHSs), also called Li-ion capacitors, are electrochemical energy stor- age devices that combining the advantages of high power density of supercapacitor and high energy density of Li-ion battery. However, high power density and long cycle life are still challenges for the cul~ rent LIHSs due to the imbalance of charge-storage capacity and electrode kinetics between capacitor-type cathode and battery-type anode. Therefore, great efforts have been made on designing novel cathode materials with high storage capacity and anode material with enhanced kinetic behavior for LIHSs. With unique two-dimensional form and numerous appealing properties, for the past several years, the rational designed graphene and its composites materials exhibit greatly improved electrochemical performance as cathode or anode for LIHSs. Here, we summarized and discussed the latest advances of the state- of-art graphene-based materials for LIHSs applications. The major roles of graphene are highlighted as (1) a superior active material, (2) ultrathin 2D flexible support to remedy the sluggish reaction of the metal compound anode, and (3) good 2D building blocks for constructing macroscopic 3D pOFOUS car- bonjgraphene hybrids. In addition, some high performance aqueous LIHSs using graphene as electrode were also summarized. Finally, the perspectives and challenges are also proposed for further develop- ment of more advanced graphene-based LIHSs.

文摘Polyaniline(PANI) nanofiber was synthesized by interfacial polymerization utilizing the interface between HCl and CCl4. The hybrid type supercapacitors (PLi/C) based on Li-doping polyaniline and activated carbon electrode were fabricated and compared with the redox type capacitors (PLi/PLi) based on two uniformly Li-doping polyaniline electrodes. The electrochemical performances of the two types of supercapacitors were characterized in non-aqueous electrolyte. PLi/C supercapacitors have a wider effective energy storage potential range and a higher upper potential. At the same time, the PLi/C supercapacitor exhibits a specific capacity of 120.93 F/g at initial discharge and retains 80% after 500 cycles. The ohmic internal resistance (RES) of PLi/C supercapacitor is 5.0 Ω, which is smaller than that of PLi/PLi capacitor (5.5 Ω). Moreover, it can be seen that Et4NBF4 organic solution is more suitable for using as organic electrolyte of PLi/C capacitor compared with organic solution containing LiPF6.

文摘Lithium-ion hybrid supercapacitors(Li-HSCs) and dual-ion batteries(DIBs) are two types of energy storage devices that have attracted extensive research interest in recent years. Li-HSCs and DIBs have similarities in device structure, tendency for ion migration, and energy storage mechanisms at the negative electrode. However, these devices have differences in energy storage mechanisms and working potentials at the positive electrode. Here, we first realize the integration of a Li-HSC and a DIB to form a dual-ion hybrid supercapacitor(DIHSC), by employing mesocarbon microbead(MCMB)-based porous graphitic carbon(PGC) with a partially graphitized structure and porous structure as a positive electrode material. The MCMB-PGC-based DIHSC exhibits a novel dual-ion battery-capacitor hybrid mechanism: it exhibits excellent electronic double-layer capacitor(EDLC) behavior like a Li-HSC in the low-middle wide potential range and anion intercalation/de-intercalation behavior like a DIB in the high-potential range. Two types of mechanisms are observed in the electrochemical characterization process, and the energy density of the new DIHSC is significantly increased.

文摘Zinc ion hybrid supercapacitors(ZHS)have received much attention due to the enhanced potential window range and high specific capacity.However,the appropriate positive materials with high electrochemical performance are still a challenge.Herein,NH_(4)^(+)and glycerate anions pre-inserted Mo glycerate(N-MoG)spheres are synthesized and serve as the template to form NH_(4)^(+)intercalated Ni_(3)S_(2)/Ni_(3)O_(2)(OH)_(4)@MoS_(2)core–shell nanoflower(N-NiMo-OS)in-situ grown on nickel foam(NF)(N-NiMo-OS/NF)by sulfurization treatment.Compared with the product using traditional MoG as a template,N-NiMo-OS/NF inheriting a larger core structure from N-MoG delivers enhanced space for ions transport and volume expansion during the energy storage process,together with the synergistic effects of multi-components and the heterostructure,the as-prepared N-NiMo-OS/NF nanoflower exhibits excellent performance for the battery-type hybrid supercapacitors(BHS)and ZHS devices.Notably,the ZHS device delivers superior electrochemical performance to the BHS device,such as a higher specific capacity of 327.5 mAh·g^(−1)at 1 A·g^(−1),a preeminent energy density of 610.6 Wh·kg^(−1)at 1710 W·kg^(−1),long cycle life.The in-situ Raman,ex-situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),theoretical calculation demonstrate the extra Zn^(2+)insertion/extraction storage mechanism provides enhanced electrochemical performance for ZHS device.Therefore,the dual-ion pre-inserted strategy can be extended for other advanced electrode materials in energy storage fields.

文摘Two‑dimensional MXenes with an enormous active surface area are considered to be significant cathode materials for Zn‑ion hybrid supercapacitors. However, the nanosheets are easily self-restacked during the assembly into macroscopic porous electrodes, resulting in a significantly reduced effective surface area, hindering their applications in energy storage. Here, MXenes are subtly distributed on the surface of the sponge in a coral-like structure rather than participating in the assembly of the framework, which has suppressed the self-restacking of MXene effectively, improved the hydrophilicity of the sponge, and provided fast diffusion channels for electrolyte ions. Therefore, the MXene-TiC-reduced graphene oxide sponge exhibits excellent electrical conductivity, an enormous specific surface area with abundant accessible electroactive sites, and superior electrochemical performance. The resulting sponge demonstrates an outstanding specific capacity, up to 501 mAh g–1 at 0.2 A g–1 , with excellent capacity retention (90%) after 3100 cycles as Zinc-ion hybrid supercapacitor cathodes. Furthermore, it exhibits an elegant gravimetric energy density of 486 mWh g–1 at 415 mW g–1 , which has surpassed most leading MXene-based Zn-ion cathodes. This work provides a new synthetic idea for MXene-based macro-composites and paves a new avenue for designing next-generation flexible and portable porous electrodes with high gravimetric and rate performances.

文摘As promising electrode materials for supercapacitors,nickel-cobalt bimetallic sulfides render the advantages of abundant redox reactions and inherently high conductivity.However,in general,unsatisfactory performance of low specific capacity,low rate capability,and fast capacity loss exist in Ni–Co sulfide electrodes.Herein,we rationally regulate phosphorus-doped nickel–cobalt sulfides(P-NCS)to enhance the electrochemical performance by gas–solid phosphorization.Moreover,carbon nanotubes(CNTs)as conductive additives are added to improve the cycle stability and conductivity and form the composite P-NCS/C/CNT.According to density functional theory,more electrons near the Fermi surface of P-NCS are demonstrated notionally than those of simple CoNi2S4.Electrochemical results manifest that P-NCS/C/CNT exhibits superior electrochemical performance,e.g.,high specific capacity(932.0 C·g^(-1)at 1 A·g^(-1)),remarkable rate capability(capacity retention ratio of 69.1%at 20 A·g^(-1)),and lower charge transfer resistance.More importantly,the flexible hybrid asymmetric supercapacitor is assembled using P-NCS/C/CNT and activated carbon,which renders an energy density of 34.875 W·h∙kg^(-1)at a power density of 375 W∙kg^(-1).These results show that as-prepared P-NCS/C/CNT demonstrates incredible possibility as a battery-type electrode for high-performance supercapacitors.

文摘Holding a promise of achieving high power and energy densities,Li-ion hybrid electrochemical capacitors present a crucial future direction for energy storage devices.However,technical challenges remain to appropriately couple both high-power capacitor-type and high-energy battery-type electrode materials within a same device.In addition,the current electrode materials in the device are usually prepared separately,which leads to lengthy preparation,time-consuming and high-cost.In this work,we report a simple method to prepare porous carbon materials(PC) with and without MnO nanoparticle cores,which function as very unique anode/cathode pairs for very high-performance Li ion hybrid supercapacitor.Taking the respective merits of high Li storage capacity from the MnO@C anode and high-rate performance from the PC cathode,the resulted device exhibits a remarkable energy density of 89 Wh·kg^(-1)(at 48 W·kg^(-1)) and can reach a battery-inaccessible power density of 18 kW·kg^(-1)(at 45Wh·kg^(-1)).

文摘Developing multifunctional energy storage systems with high specific energy, high specific power and long cycling life has been the one of the most important research directions. Compared to batteries and traditional capacitors, supercapacitors possess more balanced performance with both high specific power and long cycle-life. Nevertheless, regular supercapacitors can only achieve energy storage without harvesting energy and the energy density is still not very high compared to batteries. Therefore, combining high specific energy and high specific power,long cycle-life and even fast self-charging into one cell has been a promising direction for future energy storage devices. The multifunctional hybrid supercapacitors like asymmetric supercapacitors, batteries/supercapacitors hybrid devices and self-charging hybrid supercapacitors have been widely studied recently. Carbon based electrodes are common materials used in all kinds of energy storage devices due to their fabulous electrical and mechanical properties. In this survey, the research progress of all kinds of hybrid supercapacitors using multiple effects and their working mechanisms are briefly reviewed. And their advantages and disadvantages are discussed. The hybrid supercapacitors have great application potential for portable electronics, wearable devices and implantable devices in the future.
