High-Entropy Engineering Reinforced Surface Electronic States and Structural Defects of Hierarchical Metal Oxides@Graphene Fibers toward High-Performance Wearable Supercapacitors.

Construction advanced fibers with high Faradic activity and conductivity are effective to realize high energy density with sufficient redox reactions for fiber-based electrochemical supercapacitors (FESCs), yet it is generally at the sacrifice of kinetics and structural stability. Here, a high-entropy doping strategy is proposed to develop high-energy-density FESCs based on high-entropy doped metal oxide@graphene fiber composite (HE-MO@GF). Due to the synergistic participation of multi-metal elements via high-entropy doping, the HE-MO@GF features abundant oxygen vacancies from introducing various low-valence metal ions, lattice distortions, and optimized electronic structure.
