Synthesis of MXene-based nanocomposite electrode supported by PEDOT:PSS-modified cotton fabric for high-performance wearable supercapacitor. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 660:735-745. [PMID: 38271809 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.01.084] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2023] [Revised: 01/06/2024] [Accepted: 01/12/2024] [Indexed: 01/27/2024]
Abstract
The rapid development of wearable and portable electronic devices prompts the ever-growing demand for wearable, flexible, and light-weight power sources. In this work, a MXene/GNS/PPy@PEDOT/Cotton nanocomposite electrode with excellent electrochemical performances was fabricated using cotton fabric as a substrate. Poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly (styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) was coated on the cotton fabric to obtain a conductive substrate through a controllable dip-drying coating process, while a nanocomposite consisting of MXene, Graphene nanoscroll (GNS), and polypyrrole (PPy) was directly synthesized and deposited on the PEDOT:PSS-modified cotton fabric via a one-step in situ polymerization method. The resultant MXene/GNS/PPy@PEDOT/Cotton electrode delivers excellent electrochemical performances including an ultra-high areal capacitance of 4877.2 mF·cm-2 and stable cycling stability with 90 % capacitance retention after 3000 cycles. Moreover, the flexible symmetrical supercapacitor (FSC) assembled with the MXene/GNS/PPy@PEDOT/Cotton electrodes demonstrates a prominent areal capacitance (2685.28 mF·cm-2 at a current density of 1 mA·cm-2) and a high energy density (322.15 μWh·cm-2 at a power density of 0.46 mW·cm-2). In addition, the application of the FSC for wearable electronic devices was demonstrated.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024; 20:e2308126. [PMID: 38009584 DOI: 10.1002/smll.202308126] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2023] [Revised: 10/30/2023] [Indexed: 11/29/2023]
Abstract
High-loading electrodes play a crucial role in designing practical high-energy batteries as they reduce the proportion of non-active materials, such as current separators, collectors, and battery packaging components. This design approach not only enhances battery performance but also facilitates faster processing and assembly, ultimately leading to reduced production costs. Despite the existing strategies to improve rechargeable battery performance, which mainly focus on novel electrode materials and high-performance electrolyte, most reported high electrochemical performances are achieved with low loading of active materials (<2 mg cm-2). Such low loading, however, fails to meet application requirements. Moreover, when attempting to scale up the loading of active materials, significant challenges are identified, including sluggish ion diffusion and electron conduction kinetics, volume expansion, high reaction barriers, and limitations associated with conventional electrode preparation processes. Unfortunately, these issues are often overlooked. In this review, the mechanisms responsible for the decay in the electrochemical performance of high-loading electrodes are thoroughly discussed. Additionally, efficient solutions, such as doping and structural design, are summarized to address these challenges. Drawing from the current achievements, this review proposes future directions for development and identifies technological challenges that must be tackled to facilitate the commercialization of high-energy-density rechargeable batteries.

Abstract
Significant contributions have been made towards the development of flexible energy storage devices to meet the ever-growing energy demand. Flexibility, mechanical stability, and electrical conductivity are three critical qualities that distinguish conducting polymers from other materials. Polyaniline (PANI) has drawn considerable attention among the various conducting polymers for use in flexible supercapacitors. PANI offers several desirable properties including high porosity, a large surface area, and high conductivity. Despite its merits, it also suffers from poor cyclic stability, low mechanical strength, and notable discrepancy between theoretical and actual capacitance. These shortcomings have been addressed by creating composites of PANI with structurally sturdy elements such as graphene, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), metal-organic framework (MOFs), MXenes, etc., thus enhancing the performance of supercapacitors. This review outlines the several schemes adopted to prepare diverse binary and ternary composites of PANI as the electrode material for flexible supercapacitors and the significant impact of composite formation on the flexibility and electrochemical performance of the fabricated pliable supercapacitors.

Abstract
A new, sizable family of 2D transition metal carbonitrides, carbides, and nitrides known as MXenes has attracted a lot of attention in recent years. This is because MXenes exhibit a variety of intriguing physical, chemical, mechanical, and electrochemical characteristics that are closely linked to the wide variety of their surface terminations and elemental compositions. Particularly, MXenes are readily converted into composites with materials including oxides, polymers, and CNTs, which makes it possible to modify their characteristics for a variety of uses. MXenes and MXene-based composites have demonstrated tremendous promise in environmental applications due to their excellent reducibility, conductivity, and biocompatibility, in addition to their well-known rise to prominence as electrode materials in the energy storage sector. The remarkable characteristics of 2D MXene, including high conductivity, high specific surface area, and enhanced hydrophilicity, account for the increasing prominence of its use in storage devices. In this review, we highlight the most recent developments in the use of MXenes and MXene-based composites for electrochemical energy storage while summarizing their synthesis and characteristics. Key attention is paid to applications in supercapacitors, batteries, and their flexible components. Future research challenges and perspectives are also described.

Abstract
Ti3C2Tx-MXenes have extremely promising applications in electrochemistry, but the development of Ti3C2Tx is limited due to severe self-stacking problem. Here, we introduced oxygen vacancy-enriched molybdenum trioxide (MoO3-x) with pseudocapacitive properties as the intercalator of Ti3C2Tx and PEDOT with high electronic conductivity as the co-intercalator and conductive binder of Ti3C2Tx to synthesize Ti3C2Tx/MoO3-x/PEDOT:PSS (TMP) free-standing films by vacuum-assisted filtration and H2SO4 soaking. The tightly intercalated free-standing film structure can effectively improve the self-stacking phenomenon of Ti3C2Tx, expose more active sites and facilitate electron/ion transport, thus making TMP show excellent electrochemical performance. The volumetric and gravimetric capacitance of optimized TMP-2 can reach 1898.5 F cm-3 and 523.0 F g-1 at 1 A g-1 with a rate performance of 90.5% at the current density from 1 A g-1 to 20 A g-1, which is significantly better than those of MXene-based composites reported in the literature. The directly-assembled TMP-2//TMP-2 flexible solid-state supercapacitor displays high energy/power output performances (25.1 W h L-1 at 6383.1 W L-1, 6.9 W h kg-1 at 1758.4 W kg-1) and there is no obvious change after 100 cycles at a bending angle of 180°. As a result, the tightly intercalated TMP-2 free-standing film with high volumetric/gravimetric capacitances is a promising material for flexible energy storage devices.
