Abstract
The rapid development of portable and wearable electronic devices is responding to the urgent demand for high-efficiency flexible energy storage devices.Flexible supercapacitors,showing long cycle life,high power density,and good safety,are considered ideal candidates.Nevertheless,the relatively low energy density restricts their practical applications.With a large dielectric constant of 18-46,Ta2O5-based materials typically exhibit excellent electron-binding ability,which is critical for enhancing the energy density of supercapacitors.In this work,the free-standing β-Ta2O5/single-walled carbon nanotubes(SWCNTs)composite film was prepared,with a high β-Ta2O5 loading of over 70％.By anchoring β-Ta2O5 nanoparticles onto the surface of SWCNTs,the system's flexibility and conductivity were significantly enhanced,which also facilitated the inter-calation electrodynamics of metal cations.As a result,the flexible β-Ta2O5/SWCNTs film exhibits excellent Li-ion storage performance,with a high volumetric specific capacitance of 392.3 F cm-3 at the scan rate of 10 mV s-1 and 198.9 F cm-3 at 500 mV s-1.In addition,the asymmetric device,assembled by the β-Ta2O5/SWCNTs and activated carbon films,shows a high energy density of 45.5 Wh kg 1 at the power density of 10.8 kW kg-1.This technique opens up a new avenue for improving the energy density and rate performance of flexible supercapacitors.
