Abstract
The balancing of the electrochemical perfor-mance,mechanical stability,and processing technology for applying supercapacitors to flexible and wearable elec-tronics continues to encounter severe challenges.Herein,we prepare Ni-Co-Mn hydroxide electrodes with a three-dimensional multichannel structure via a simple hydrothermal method.These are constructed using verti-cally contiguous nanosheets with a uniform thickness and rough surface.The electrodes can provide numerous elec-troactive sites and accelerate the transmission of electrolyte ions.The relationship between the structure and electro-chemical performances is verified by experiments and theoretical calculations.Two-dimensional(2D)planar and one-dimensional(1D)fiber electrodes are prepared using a flexible carbon cloth(CC)and carbon fiber(CF),respec-tively,as substrates.The assembled quasi-solid-state flex-ible asymmetric supercapacitor(FASC)with a two-dimensional sandwich structure using NiCoMn-OH/CC as the electrode achieves a remarkable energy density of 73.8 Wh·kg-1 at a power density of 1.03 kW·kg-1.The quasi-solid-state FASC with a 1D linear structure using NiCoMn-OH/CF as the electrode also attains a high energy density(12.9 Wh·kg-1 at a power density of 0.75 W·kg-1).Moreover,the electrochemical perfor-mances of the NiCoMn/CC//AC/CC and NiCoMn/CF//AC/CF FASCs are not disturbed at different bending angles(0°,45°,90°,135° and 180°).This indicates the superior flexibility of the devices.We also assemble a self-powered energy-harvesting storage system by integrating FASCs and commercial solar cells to verify its practicability.It displays sustainable development potential for energy storage.
