Paper‐Based Electrodes for Flexible Energy Storage Devices

Contents: (Adv. Sci. 7/2017)

Assembly of electrochemically active materials into paper-based electrodes opens up new opportunities for flexible energy storage devices. Yat Li and co-workers review the recent advances in the synthesis of paper-based electrodes, including paper-supported electrodes and paper-like electrodes in article 1700107. Their structural features, electrochemical performances and implementation as elec...

Comparison of Binary and Ternary ‎Compositions of Ni-Co-Cu Oxides/VACNTs ‎Electrodes for Energy Storage Devices with ‎Excellent Capacitive Behaviour

   Electrochemical performance of binary and ternary oxides composed of Ni, Co and Cu produced over a 3-dimensional substrate of vertically aligned carbon nano-tubes (VACNT) as electrodes for aqueous energy sources, is reported and compared in this paper. VACNTs were fabricated inside a DC-plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition chamber and composite materials fabricated by thermal decomp...

Flexible Electrodes: Paper‐Based Electrodes for Flexible Energy Storage Devices (Adv. Sci. 7/2017)

High performance of a solid-state flexible asymmetric supercapacitor based on graphene films.

Solid-state flexible energy storage devices hold the key to realizing portable and flexible electronic devices. Achieving fully flexible energy storage devices requires that all of the essential components (i.e., electrodes, separator, and electrolyte) with specific electrochemical and interfacial properties are integrated into a single solid-state and mechanically flexible unit. In this study,...

Highly flexible pseudocapacitor based on freestanding heterogeneous MnO2/conductive polymer nanowire arrays.
