Harmonizing Wide Voltage Window and High Energy Density toward Asymmetric All-Solid-State Supercapacitor.

All-solid-state supercapacitors are known for their safety, stability, and excellent cycling performance. However, their limited voltage window results in lower energy density, restricting their widespread application in practical scenarios. Therefore, in this work, CC/MoO@TiCT negative electrode and MoAl-MnO/CC positive electrode materials are synthesized and prepared by electrochemical deposition co-coating and one-step hydrothermal methods, respectively, and assembled into an asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) device based on the two electrode materials.

Optimizing nickel-aluminium layered double hydroxides for supercapacitors: The role of 3D structural assembly.

Nickel-aluminium layered double hydroxides (NiAl-LDHs) have emerged as promising electrode materials for supercapacitors (SCs) due to their inherently high specific surface area and theoretical specific capacitance, which are primarily attributed to the rapid pseudocapacitive response at the surface. However, NiAl-LDHs typically form agglomerated nanosheets, leading to a significant reduction in specific surface area, which is crucial for enhancing the number of active sites and improving the capacitive properties of the materials. To overcome this limitation, 2D nanostructures were assembled into 3D architectures by synthesizing NiAl-LDHs with distinct morphologies in a one-step hydrothermal process using an alkaline agent (NHF).
