The singlewall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs)-polyaniline (PANI) film electrodes and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/H3PO4 electrolyte film were prepared by spray-printing and spincoating strategies, respectively. Thus, the thickness of a supercapacitor is only 8.4 μm. When the mass ratio of SWCNT to PANI is 1:1, the tensile strength and Young's modulus of the electrode are 10.9 and 655 MPa, respectively. The interior contact resistance of the supercapacitors based on this electrode is only 15-30 Ω. Furthermore, the specific capacitance of this electrode can reach about 355.5 F·g^-1, and the supercapacitor based on this electrode maintains 87.2% of its initial specific capacitance over 5000 charging/discharging cycles. Moreover, the supercapacitor shows an excellent electrochemical stability at different bending states. Therefore, the all-solid-state supercapacitors prepared by our strategies would meet the demands of wearable, lightweight, and compact energy storage devices.展开更多
