Supercapacitor diode is a novel ion device that performs both supercapacitor energy storage and ion diode rectification functions.However,previously reported devices are limited by their large size and complex processes.In this work,we demonstrate a screen-printed micro supercapacitor diode(MCAPode)that based on the insertion of a finger mode with spinel ZnCo2O4 as cathode and activated carbon as anode for the first time,and featuring an excellent area specific capacitance(1.21 mF cm-2 at 10 mV s-1)and high rectification characteristics(rectification ratio I of 11.99 at 40 mV s-1).Taking advantage of the ionic gel electrolyte,which provides excellent stability during repeated flexing and at high temperatures.In addition,MCAPode exhibits excellent electrochemical performance and rectifica-tion capability in"AND"and"OR"logic gates.These findings provide practical solutions for future expan-sion of micro supercapacitor diode applications.
