Abstract
New binary carbon composites (GDY-NCNTs and GDY-CNTs) with a three-dimensional porous structure, which are synthesized by an in situ growth method, are adopted in this article. The GDY-NCNTs composites exhibit excellent specific capacitance performance (679 F g-1, 2 mV s-1, 139% increase compared to GDY-CNTs) and good cycling stability (with a capacity retention rate of up to 116% after 10000 cycles). The three-dimensional porous structure not only promotes ion transfer and increases the effective specific surface area to improve its specific capacitance performance but also adapts to the volume expansion and contraction during the charging and discharging process to improve its cycling stability. The presence of nitrogen doping in the carbon nanotubes of GDY-NCNTs increases the surface defects of the composites, provides more electrochemical points, and improves the surface wettability of the composites, further improving the electrochemical performance of the composites.

Protonated C 3N 4 Nanosheets for Enhanced Energy Storage in Symmetric Supercapacitors through Hydrochloric Acid Treatment. ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:11273-11287.

Abstract
Next-generation electrochemical energy storage materials are essential in delivering high power for long periods of time. Double-layer carbonaceous materials provide high power density with low energy density due to surface-controlled adsorption. This limitation can be overcome by developing a low-cost, more abundant material that delivers high energy and power density. Herein, we develop layered C3N4 as a sustainable charge storage material for supercapacitor applications. It was thermally polymerized using urea and then protonated with various acids to enhance its charge storage contribution by activating more reaction sites through the exfoliation of the C-N framework. The increased electron-rich nitrogen moieties in the C-N framework material lead to better electrolytic ion impregnation into the electrode, resulting in a 7-fold increase in charge storage compared to the pristine material and other acids. It was found that C3N4 treated with hydrochloric acid showed a very high capacitance of 761 F g-1 at a current density of 20 A g-1 and maintained 100% cyclic retention over 10,000 cycles in a three-electrode configuration, outperforming both the pristine material and other acids. A symmetric device was fabricated using a KOH/LiI gel-based electrolyte, exhibiting a maximum specific capacitance of 175 F g-1 at a current density of 1 A g-1. Additionally, the device showed remarkable power and energy density, reaching 600 W kg-1 and 35 Wh kg-1, with an exceptional cyclic stability of 60% even after 5000 cycles. This study provides an archetype to understand the underlying mechanism of acid protonation and paves the way to a metal-carbon-free environment.

Abstract
This research paper investigates the effect of functionalizing the surfaces of citric acid-synthesized carbon dots (CDs) with hyperbranched bis(methylol)propionic acid (bis-MPA) polyester hydroxyl polymers (HBPs) on their performance as electrode materials in a supercapacitor. Two types of HBPs with 16 and 64 peripheral hydroxyl groups were used to functionalize the CDs' oxygen-enriched surface. Here, CDs were used as electrode materials for the first time in symmetric supercapacitors without a composite material, and how surface modification affects the capacitance performance of CDs was investigated. Our results showed that the functionalization of green-emitting CDs with HBP resulted in the successful passivation of surface defects, which improved their stability and prevented further oxidation. The CDs with HBP passivation exhibited excellent electrochemical performance, with a high specific capacitance of 32.08 F g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 and good rate capability, indicating a faster ion transport rate at high current densities. Experimental EPR spectra of functionalized and non-functionalized CDs reveal distinct changes in g-factor values and line widths, confirming the impact of dangling bonds and spin-orbit interactions. The observed broader linewidth indicates a wider range of electron spin resonances due to energy-level splitting induced by spin-orbit coupling. The excellent electrochemical performance of CDs with HBP passivation can be attributed to the presence of oxygen-containing surface functional groups such as hydroxyl and carboxyl groups on their surfaces, which enhance the conductivity and charge transfer reactions. These results suggest that functionalization with polar HBPs is a promising strategy to enhance the electrochemical performance of CDs in supercapacitor applications.

Abstract
With the swift advancement of the wearable electronic devices industry, the energy storage components of these devices must possess the capability to maintain stable mechanical and chemical properties after undergoing multiple bending or tensile deformations. This circumstance has expedited research efforts toward novel electrode materials for flexible energy storage devices. Nonetheless, among the numerous materials investigated to date, the incorporation of metal current collectors or insulative adhesives remains requisite, which entails additional costs, unnecessary weight, and high contact resistance. At present, biomass-derived flexible architectures stand out as a promising choice in electrochemical energy device applications. Flexible self-supporting properties impart a heightened mechanical performance, obviating the need for additional binders and lowering the contact resistance. Renewable, earth-abundant biomass endows these materials with cost-effectiveness, diversity, and modulable chemical properties. To fully exploit the application potential in biomass-derived flexible carbon architectures, understanding the latest advancements and the comprehensive foundation behind their synthesis assumes significance. This review delves into the comprehensive analysis of biomass feedstocks and methods employed in the synthesis of flexible self-supporting carbon electrodes. Subsequently, the advancements in their application in energy storage devices are elucidated. Finally, an outlook on the potential of flexible carbon architectures and the challenges they face is provided.

Abstract
In this paper, δ-MnO2 with layered structure was prepared by a facile liquid phase method, and exfoliated MnO2 nanosheet (e-MnO2) was obtained by ultrasonic exfoliation, whose surface was negatively charged. Then, positive charges were grafted on the surface of MnO2 nanosheets with a polycation electrolyte of polydiallyl dimethylammonium chloride (PDDA) in different concentrations. A series of e-MnO2@reduced graphene oxide (rGO) composites were obtained by electrostatic self-assembly combined with hydrothermal chemical reduction. When PDDA was adjusted to 0.75 g/L, the thickness of e-MnO2 was ~1.2 nm, and the nanosheets were uniformly adsorbed on the surface of graphene, which shows layer-by-layer morphology with a specific surface area of ~154 m2/g. On account of the unique heterostructure, the composite exhibits good electrochemical performance as supercapacitor electrodes. The specific capacitance of e-MnO2-0.75@rGO can reach 456 F/g at a current density of 1 A/g in KOH electrolyte, which still remains 201 F/g at 10 A/g. In addition, the capacitance retention is 98.7% after 10000 charge-discharge cycles at 20 A/g. Furthermore, an asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) device of e-MnO2-0.75@rGO//graphene hydrogel (GH) was assembled, of which the specific capacitance achieves 94 F/g (1 A/g) and the cycle stability is excellent, with a retention rate of 99.3% over 10000 cycles (20 A/g).

Abstract
Electrochemical capacitors (ECs), including electrical-double-layer capacitors and pseudocapacitors, feature high power densities but low energy densities. To improve the energy densities of ECs, redox electrolyte-enhanced ECs (R-ECs) or supercapbatteries are designed through employing confined soluble redox electrolytes and porous electrodes. In R-ECs the energy storage is based on diffusion-controlled faradaic processes of confined redox electrolytes at the surface of a porous electrode, which thus take the merits of high power densities of ECs and high energy densities of batteries. In the past few years, there has been great progress in the development of this energy storage technology, particularly in the design and synthesis of novel redox electrolytes and porous electrodes, as well as the configurations of new devices. Herein, a full-screen picture of the fundamentals and the state-of-art progress of R-ECs are given together with a discussion and outlines about the challenges and future perspectives of R-ECs. The strategies to improve the performance of R-ECs are highlighted from the aspects of their capacitances and capacitance retention, power densities, and energy densities. The insight into the philosophies behind these strategies will be favorable to promote the R-EC technology toward practical applications of supercapacitors in different fields.

Abstract
Despite the increase in demand for deformable electrochemical capacitors as a power source for wearable electronics, significant obstacles remain in developing these capacitors, including their manufacturing complexity and insufficient deformability. With recognition of these challenges, a facile strategy is proposed to fabricate large-scale, lightweight, and mechanically robust composite electrodes composed of ruthenium nanoparticles embedded in freestanding carbon nanotube (CNT)-based nanosheets (Ru@a-CNTs). Surface-modified CNT sheets with hierarchical porous structures can behave as an ideal platform to accommodate a large number of uniformly distributed Ru nanoparticles (Ru/CNT weight ratio of 5:1) while improving compatibility with aqueous electrolytes. Accordingly, Ru@a-CNTs offer a large electrochemically active area, showing a high specific capacitance (∼253.3 F g-1) and stability for over 2000 cycles. More importantly, the exceptional performance and mechanical durability of quasi-solid-state capacitors assembled with Ru@a-CNTs and a PVA-H3PO4 hydrogel electrolyte are successfully demonstrated in that 94% of the initial capacitance is retained after 100 000 cycles of bending deformation and a commercial smartwatch is charged by multiple cells. The feasible large-scale production and potential applicability shown in this study provide a simple and highly effective design strategy for a wide range of energy storage applications from small- to large-scale wearable electronics.

Abstract
The specific energy of an aqueous carbon supercapacitor is generally small, resulting mainly from a narrow potential window of aqueous electrolytes. Here, we introduced agarose, an ecologically compatible polymer, as a novel binder to fabricate an activated carbon supercapacitor, enabling a wider potential window attributed to a high overpotential of the hydrogen-evolution reaction (HER) of agarose-bound activated carbons in sulfuric acid. Assembled symmetric aqueous cells can be galvanostatically cycled up to 1.8 V, attaining an enhanced energy density of 13.5 W h/kg (9.5 µW h/cm2) at 450 W/kg (315 µW/cm2). Furthermore, a great cycling behavior was obtained, with a 94.2% retention of capacitance after 10,000 cycles at 2 A/g. This work might guide the design of an alternative material for high-energy aqueous supercapacitors.

Abstract
Carbon nano onions (CNOs) are carbonaceous nanostructures composed of multiple concentric shells of fullerenes. These cage-within-cage structures remain as one of the most exciting and fascinating carbon forms, along with graphene and its derivatives, due to their unique chemical and physical properties. Their exceptional biocompatibility and biosafety make them an attractive choice in a wide range of areas, including biological systems. This nanomaterial displays low toxicity, high dispersity in aqueous solutions (upon surface functionalization), and high pharmaceutical efficiency. Even though CNOs were discovered almost simultaneously along with carbon nanotubes (CNTs), their potential in biomedical applications still appears unrealized. The existence of CNOs is equally important, just like any other carbon nanostructures such as CNTs and fullerenes, because they display the ability of carbon to form another unique nanostructure with wonderful properties. Therefore, this mini-review summarizes recent studies geared towards developing CNOs for various biomedical applications, including sensing, drug delivery, imaging, tissue engineering, and as a therapeutic drug. It concludes by discussing other potential applications of this unique nanomaterial.

Abstract
The sandwich construction of chitosan (CS)/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) composite was synthesized through microwave-assisted hydrothermal method without further carbonization or activation process (CRG). CS homogeneous attached between the rGO slice sheet and improve the dispersion of CRG effectively, which can increase its specific surface area with hierarchical porous structure. Dehydration condensation occurred between CS and rGO, forming NHCO groups that can promote the wettability and conductivity of the composites. CRG exhibited improved degree of order and reduced graphitization defect, N-5 and OI groups were the dominant nitrogen and oxygen-containing groups. When used as additive-free electrode, CRG exhibited a high specific capacitance of 274 F g-1 at the current density of 0.5 A g-1 with good rate performance in a three-electrode system using 1 M H2SO4 electrolyte. Solid-state supercapacitor device was assembled with CRG electrode and lignin hydrogel electrolytes, high gravimetric energy densities of 8.4 Wh kg-1 at the power density of 50 W kg-1 was achieved.

Abstract
Paper-based electrodes are of special interest for the industry due to their degradability, low cost, ion accessibility, and flexibility. However, the poor dispersibility and stability of loading conductive fillers, for example, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), limit their applications. In this study, bacterial cellulose (BC) was embedded within the cellulosic fiber matrix to prepare a paper substrate with a dual fiber matrix structure. BC with its unique nanoporous surface structure assisted the adsorbing, dispersing, and stabilizing of CNTs; cellulosic fibers reduced the cost, enhanced the ion accessibility, and improved the rigidity of the material. The prepared paper electrodes exhibited a high conductivity up to 5.9 × 10-1 S/cm and an extraordinary durability under high bending strain; it can be rolled into a 2 mm radius 800 times while maintaining the conductivity almost constant. The paper electrode had a gravimetric capacitance up to 77.5 F/g, which remained more than 98% after 15,000 charge/discharge cycles. This study suggests that this paper electrode has potential applications in supercapacitors with high performance and durability.

Abstract
Overcoming the global energy crisis due to vast economic expansion with the advent of human reliance on energy-consuming labor-saving devices necessitates the demand for next-generation technologies in the form of cleaner energy storage devices. The technology accelerates with the pace of developing energy storage devices to meet the requirements wherever an unanticipated burst of power is indeed needed in a very short time. Supercapacitors are predicted to be future power vehicles because they promise faster charging times and do not rely on rare elements such as lithium. At the same time, they are key nanoscale device elements for high-frequency noise filtering with the capability of storing and releasing energy by electrostatic interactions between the ions in the electrolyte and the charge accumulated at the active electrode during the charge/discharge process. There have been several developments to increase the functionality of electrodes or finding a new electrolyte for higher energy density, but this field is still open to witness the developments in reliable materials-based energy technologies. Nanoscale materials have emerged as promising candidates for the electrode choice, especially in 2D sheet and folded tubular network forms. Due to their unique hierarchical architecture, excellent electrical and mechanical properties, and high specific surface area, nanotubular networks have been widely investigated as efficient electrode materials in supercapacitors, while maintaining their inherent characteristics of high power and long cycling life. In this review, we briefly present the evolution, classification, functionality, and application of supercapacitors from the viewpoint of nanostructured materials to apprehend the mechanism and construction of advanced supercapacitors for next-generation storage devices.

Abstract
MXenes have emerged as promising high-volumetric-capacitance supercapacitor electrode materials, whereas their voltage windows are not wide. This disadvantage prevents MXenes from being made into aqueous symmetric supercapacitors with high energy density. To attain high energy density, constructing asymmetric supercapacitors is a reliable design choice. Here, we propose a strategy to achieve high energy density of hydrogen ion aqueous-based hybrid supercapacitors by integrating a negative electrode of Ti3C2 T x MXene and a positive electrode of redox-active hydroquinone (HQ)/carbon nanotubes. The two electrodes are separated by a Nafion film that is proton permeable in H2SO4 electrolyte. Upon charging/discharging, hydrogen ions shuttle back and forth between the cathode and anode for charge compensation. The proton-induced high capacitance of MXene and HQ, along with complementary working voltage windows, simultaneously enhance the electrochemical performance of the device. Specifically, the hybrid supercapacitors operate in a 1.6 V voltage window and deliver a high energy density of 62 Wh kg-1, which substantially exceeds those of the state-of-the-art aqueous asymmetric supercapacitors reported so far. Additionally, the device exhibits excellent cycling stability and the all-solid-state planar hybrid supercapacitor displays exceptional flexibility and integration for bipolar cells to boost the capacitance and voltage output. These encouraging results provide the possibility of designing high-energy-density noble-metal-free asymmetric supercapacitors for practical applications.

Abstract
Carbon materials display appealing physical, chemical, and mechanical properties and have been extensively studied as supercapacitor electrodes. The surface engineering further allows us to tune their capability of adsorption/desorption and catalysis. Therefore, a facile and inexpensive chemical-acid-etching approach has been developed to activate the carbon cloth as an electrode for supercapacitor. The capacitance of the acid-etched carbon cloth electrode can approach 5310 mF cm-2 at a current density of 5 mA cm-2 with remarkable recycling stability. The all-solid-state symmetric supercapacitor delivered a high energy density of 4.27 mWh cm-3 at a power density of 1.32 W cm-3. Furthermore, this symmetric supercapacitor exhibited outstanding mechanical flexibility, and the capacity remained nearly unchanged after 1000 bending cycles.

Abstract
Flexible solid-state supercapacitors possess promising safety performance and intrinsic fast charging-discharging properties, enabling them to accomplish the requirements of lightweight and multifunctional wearable electronics that have recently become fairly popular. Because electrode materials are the core component of flexible solid-state supercapacitors, we exhaustively review the recent investigations involving electrode materials that have used carbons, metal oxides, and conductive polymers. The principles and methods of optimizing and fabricating electrodes for use in flexible supercapacitors are discussed through a comprehensive analysis of the literature. In addition, we focused on three types of flexible solid-state supercapacitors (fiber-, paper-, and porous foam-based structures) to satisfy the requirements of flexible electronic devices. Further, we summarize the practical applications of flexible solid-state supercapacitors, including energy conversion/collection devices and energy storage/detection devices. Finally, we provide the developmental direction for flexible solid-state supercapacitors in the future.

Abstract
The redox-active electrolyte supercapacitor (RAES) is a relatively new type of energy storage device. Simple addition of selected redox species in the electrolyte can greatly enhance the energy density of supercapacitors relative to traditional electric double layer capacitors (EDLCs) owing to redox reactions. Studies on the kinetics at the interface of the electrode and redox mediator are important when developing RAESs. In this work, we employ highly accurate scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) to extract the kinetic constants at carbon/hydroquinone interfaces. The charge transfer rate constants are 1.2 × 10-2 and 1.3 × 10-2 cm s-1 for the carbon nanotube/hydroquinone and reduced graphene oxide/hydroquinone interfaces, respectively. These values are higher than those obtained by the conventional cyclic voltammetry method, approximately by an order of magnitude. The evaluation of heterogeneous rate constants with SECM would be the cornerstone for understanding and developing high performance RAESs.

Abstract
Here we reported the use of electropolymerization to achieve the transformation of aqueous hydroquinone to solid-phase polyhydroquinone (PHQ) with pseudocapacitive characteristics, and the application of this redox-active product to shuttle electron transfer in the anode system of a microbial fuel cell (MFC). The microscopic and spectroscopic results showed that the treatment of the graphite felt (GF) substrate with acids was effective in improving the amounts of surface-bound oxygen-containing groups, enabling better adhesion of PHQ onto the GF surfaces. The electrochemical measurements indicated that the resulting PHQ–AGF (acid treated GF) possessed high pseudocapacitance due to the fast and reversible redox cycling between hydroquinone and benzoquinone. The MFC equipped with the PHQ–AGF anode achieved a maximum power density of 633.6 mW m−2, which was much higher than 368.2, 228.8, and 119.7 mW m−2 corresponding to the MFC with the reference PHQ–GF, AGF, and GF anodes, respectively. The increase in the power performance was attributed to the incorporation of the redox-active PHQ abundant in C–OH and C=O groups that were beneficial to the increased extracellular electron transfer and enhanced bacterial adhesion on the anode.

Abstract
AbstractThe advancement of modern electronic devices depends strongly on the highly efficient energy sources possessing high energy density and power density. In this regard, supercapacitors show great promise. Due to the unique hierarchical structure, excellent electrical and mechanical properties, and high specific surface area, carbon nanomaterials (particularly, carbon nanotubes, graphene, mesoporous carbon and their hybrids) have been widely investigated as efficient electrode materials in supercapacitors. This review article summarizes progress in high-performance supercapacitors based on carbon nanomaterials with an emphasis on the design and fabrication of electrode structures and elucidation of charge-storage mechanisms. Recent developments on carbon-based flexible and stretchable supercapacitors for various potential applications, including integrated energy sources, self-powered sensors and wearable electronics, are also discussed.

Large-scale synthesis of hybrid metal oxides through metal redox mechanism for high-performance pseudocapacitors. Sci Rep 2016; 6:20021.

Abstract
Electrochemical performance and production cost are the main concerns for the practical application of supercapacitors. Here we report a simple and universally applicable method to prepare hybrid metal oxides by metal redox reaction utilizing the inherent reducibility of metals and oxidbility of for the first time. As an example, Ni(OH)2/MnO2 hybrid nanosheets (NMNSs) are grown for supercapacitor application by self-reaction of Ni foam substrates in KMnO4 solution at room temperature. The obtained hybrid nanosheets exhibit high specific capacitance (2,937 F g−1). The assembled solid-state asymmetric pseudocapacitors possess ultrahigh energy density of 91.13 Wh kg−1 (at the power density of 750 W kg−1) and extraordinary cycling stability with 92.28% capacitance retention after 25,000 cycles. Co(OH)2/MnO2 and Fe2O3/MnO2 hybrid oxides are also synthesized through this metal redox mechanism. This green and low-cost method is capable of large-scale production and one-step preparation of the electrodes, holding promise for practical application of high-performance pseudocapacitors.
