Abstract
The interfacial void and delamination between the hydrogel electrolyte and flexible electrode caused by the inconformal contact and weak adhesion lead to serious performance degradation of solid-state-sandwiched supercapacitors (SCs) upon repetitive deformation. Herein, we propose a hydrogel polymer electrolyte (HPE) engineering strategy for enhancing the interfacial adhesion (Γ) to achieve extremely durable SCs via the soft, tough, and self-adhesive HPE. Using a self-cross-linked poly(N-hydroxyethyl acrylamide)/H3PO4 (PHEAA/H3PO4) HPE as the model, the interfacial adhesion between HPE and polyaniline (PANI)-modified carbon cloth (CC) electrode (CC/PANI) reaches up to 556 J/m2, leading to excellent durability of electrochemical performance under long-term repetitive deformations. The as-assembled sandwiched SC retains 94.14 and 93.62% of initial capacitance after 180° bending and twisting for 100,000 cycles, respectively. Furthermore, benefiting from the addition of H3PO4, the flexible sandwiched SC displays excellent tolerance to low temperatures and delivers a capacitance retention of 98.03% after 180° bending for 10,000 cycles at -20 °C. This work highlights the importance of interfacial adhesion engineering for the design of extremely deformation-tolerable SCs.

Abstract
Sustainable and scalable fabrication of electrode materials with high energy and power densities is paramount for the development of future electrochemical energy storage devices. The electrode material of a supercapacitor should have high electrical conductivity, good thermal and chemical stability, and a high surface area per unit volume (or per unit mass). Researchers have made great efforts to use two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials, but the separated 2D plates are re-stacked during processing for electrode fabrication, impeding the transport of ions and reducing the number of active sites. We developed a novel process for manufacturing thin and flexible electrodes using a 2D material (MXene,Ti3AlC2) and a conducting polymer (poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene), PEDOT). Because the PEDOT layer is electrochemically synthesized, it does not contain the activator poly(styrene sulfonate). The electrospray deposition technique solves the restacking problem and facilitates the infilling of the gel electrolyte by forming a highly porous open structure across the entire electrode. In the PEDOT/MXene multilayered electrode, the double-layer capacitance increased substantially because of a dramatic increase in the number of accessible sites through the MXene layer. Although applied to solid supercapacitors, these new supercapacitors outperform most aqueous electrolyte supercapacitors as well as other solid supercapacitors.

Abstract
PEO-LiCF3SO3-halloysite nanotube (HNT) composites were fabricated by solution casting together with hot compression to form a solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) membrane. Different ultrasonic exposure times were used to disperse HNT nanoparticles in the PEO-20%LiCF3SO3-HNT composite solutions prior to casting. An exposure time of 15 min gave the highest ionic conductivity in the SPE membrane, the ionic conductivity significantly increased by two orders of magnitude from 6.6 × 10−6 to 1.1 × 10−4 S/cm. TEM, FE-SEM, and EDS-mapping were used to study the dispersion of HNTs in the SPE membrane. ATR-FTIR revealed that the bonding of PEO-LiCF3SO3 and PEO-HNT was created. XRD and DSC showed a reduction in the crystallinity of PEO due to HNT addition. The ultrasonication for an optimal period gave uniform dispersion of HNT, reduced the polymer crystallinity and strengthened the tensile property of SPE membrane. Moreover, the electrochemical stability, flame retardance and dimensional stability were improved by the addition of HNT and by ultrasonication.

Abstract
Over the last few decades, tremendous progress has been achieved in the development of advanced materials for energy storage devices. These achievements have largely enabled the adoption and transition to key technologies such as mobile phones, electric vehicles, and internet of things. However, the recent surge in fire accidents and explosions emanating from energy storage devices have been closely associated with the highly flammable components that make up these devices which have often led to the loss of life and property. Therefore, replacing flammable materials with fire retardant materials has been recognized as the critical solution to the ever-growing fire problem in these devices. This review summarizes the progress achieved so far in the field of fire retardant materials for energy storage devices. Finally, a perspective on the current state of the art is provided, and a future outlook for these fire-retardant materials, strategies, and new characterization methods is discussed.

Abstract
Aluminum–air batteries are promising electronic power sources because of their low cost and high energy density. However, traditional aluminum–air batteries are greatly restricted from being used in the field of flexible electronics due to the rigid battery structure, and the irreversible corrosion of the anode by the alkaline electrolyte, which greatly reduces the battery life. To address these issues, a three-dimensional dual-network interpenetrating structure PVA/LiCl/PEO composite gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) is proposed. The gel polymer electrolyte exhibits good flexibility and high ionic conductivity (σ = 6.51 × 10−3 S cm−1) at room temperature. Meanwhile, benefiting from the high-performance GPE, an assembled aluminum–air coin cell shows a highest discharge voltage of 0.73 V and a peak power density (Pmax) of 3.31 mW cm−2. The Al specific capacity is as high as 735.2 mA h g−1. A flexible aluminum–air battery assembled using the GPE also performed stably in flat, bent, and folded states. This paper provides a cost-effective and feasible way to fabricate a composite gel polymer electrolyte with high performance for use in flexible aluminum–air batteries, suitable for a variety of energy-related devices. Problems relating to the leakage of alkaline liquid electrolyte, the evaporation of water, and flexibility in traditional aluminum–air batteries are solved in this study.![]()

Abstract
AbstractThe significant breakthroughs of flexible gel electrolytes have attracted extensive attention in modern wearable electronic gadgets. The lack of all-around high-performing gels limits the advantages of such devices for practical applications. To this end, developing a multi-functional gel architecture with superior ionic conductivity while enjoying good mechanical flexibility is a bottleneck to overcome. Herein, an architecturally engineered gel, based on PVA and H3PO4 with different molecular weights of PVA for various PVA/H3PO4 ratios, was developed. The results show the dependence of ionic conductivity on molecular weight and also charge carrier concentration. Consequently, fine-tuning of PVA-based gels through a simple yet systematic and well-regulated strategy to achieve highly ion-conducting gels, with the highest ionic conductivity of 14.75 ± 1.39 mS cm-1 have been made to fulfill the requirement of flexible devices. More importantly, gel electrolytes possess good mechanical robustness while exhibiting high-elasticity (%766.66 ± 59.73), making it an appropriate candidate for flexible devices.

Abstract
Supercapacitors (SCs) have attracted widespread attention due to their short charging/discharging time, long cycle life, and good temperature characteristics. Electrolytes have been considered as a key factor affecting the performance of SCs. They largely determine the energy density based on their decomposition voltage and the power density from their ionic conductivity. In recent years, redox electrolytes obtained a growing interest due to an additional redox activity from electrolytes, which offers an increased charge storage capacity in SCs. This article summarizes the latest progress in the research of redox electrolytes, and focuses on their properties, mechanisms, and applications based on different solvent types available. It also proposes potential solutions for how to effectively increase the energy density of the SCs while maintaining their high power and long life.

Abstract
In this work, solid-state polymer supercapacitor (SSC) was assembled using poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene/carbon paper (PEDOT/CP) as an electrode and ionic liquid (1-butyl-3-methylimidazole tetrafluoroborate)/polyvinyl alcohol/sulfuric acid (IL/PVA/H2SO4) as a gel polymer electrolyte (GPE). The GPE was treated through freezing-thawing (F/T) cycles to improve the electrochemical properties of PEDOT SSC. Cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge-discharge measurements (GCD) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques and conductivity were carried out to study the electrochemical performance. The results showed that the SSC based on ionic liquid GPE (SSC-IL/PVA/H2SO4) has a higher specific capacitance (with the value of 86.81 F/g at 1 mA/cm2) than the SSC-PVA/H2SO4.The number of F/T cycles has a great effect on the electrochemical performance of the device. The energy density of the SSC treated with 3 F/T cycles was significantly improved, reaching 176.90 Wh/kg. Compared with the traditional electrolytes, IL GPE has the advantages of high ionic conductivity, less volatility, non-flammability and wider potential window. Moreover, the IL GPE has excellent elastic recovery and self-healing performance, leading to its great potential applications in flexible or smart energy storage equipment.

Abstract
Electrochemical capacitors (ECs) are a vital class of electrical energy storage (EES) devices that display the capacity of rapid charging and provide high power density. In the current era, interest in using ionic liquids (ILs) in high-performance EES devices has grown exponentially, as this novel versatile electrolyte media is associated with high thermal stability, excellent ionic conductivity, and the capability to withstand high voltages without undergoing decomposition. ILs are therefore potentially useful materials for improving the energy/power performances of ECs without compromising on safety, cyclic stability, and power density. The current review article underscores the importance of ILs as sustainable and high-performance electrolytes for electrochemical capacitors.

Abstract
A photopolymerization method is used to prepare a mixture of polymer ionic liquid (PIL) and ionic liquid (IL). This mixture is used as a solid-state electrolyte in carbon nanoparticle (CNP)-based symmetric supercapacitors. The solid electrolyte is a binary mixture of a PIL and its corresponding IL. The PIL matrix is a cross-linked polyelectrolyte with an imidazole salt cation coupled with two anions of Br- in PIL-M-(Br) and TFSI- in PIL-M-(TFSI), respectively. The corresponding ionic liquids have imidazolium salt cation coupled with two anions of Br- and TFSI-, respectively. This study investigates the electrochemical characteristics of PILs and their corresponding IL mixtures used as a solid electrolyte in supercapacitors. Results show that a specific capacitance, maximum power density and energy density of 87 and 58 F·g-¹, 40 and 48 kW·kg-¹, and 107 and 59.9 Wh·kg-¹ were achieved in supercapacitors based on (PIL-M-(Br)) and (PIL-M-(TFSI)) solid electrolytes, respectively.

Abstract
Flexible solid-state supercapacitors (FSSCs) are frontrunners in energy storage device technology and have attracted extensive attention owing to recent significant breakthroughs in modern wearable electronics. In this study, we review the state-of-the-art advancements in FSSCs to provide new insights on mechanisms, emerging electrode materials, flexible gel electrolytes and novel cell designs. The review begins with a brief introduction on the fundamental understanding of charge storage mechanisms based on the structural properties of electrode materials. The next sections briefly summarise the latest progress in flexible electrodes (i.e., freestanding and substrate-supported, including textile, paper, metal foil/wire and polymer-based substrates) and flexible gel electrolytes (i.e., aqueous, organic, ionic liquids and redox-active gels). Subsequently, a comprehensive summary of FSSC cell designs introduces some emerging electrode materials, including MXenes, metal nitrides, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), polyoxometalates (POMs) and black phosphorus. Some potential practical applications, such as the development of piezoelectric, photo-, shape-memory, self-healing, electrochromic and integrated sensor-supercapacitors are also discussed. The final section highlights current challenges and future perspectives on research in this thriving field.
