Enhancing ions/electrons dual transport in rGO/PEDOT:PSS fiber for high-performance supercapacitor
CARBON(2022)
Abstract
Enhancing the specific capacitance and rate performance of graphene based fiber-shaped super capacitors (FSSCs) is critical to achieving advanced energy storage devices with desired performance. Here, hierarchically porous reduced graphene oxide/poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly (4-styrenesulfonate) (rGO/PEDOT:PSS) hybrid fiber was constructed by co-assembling confined growth and acid treatment strategy. The rationally designed hybrid fiber addressed the issues of excellent conductivity and abundant porous channels for fast electrons transfer and rapid ions diffusion. As indicated, highly-oxidized small-sized GO precursor was utilized to endow rGO fiber with abundant ions diffusion channels and ions adsorption interfaces for double-layer capacitance, as well as ample oxygen functional groups for additional pseudocapacitance. The incorporation of acid-treated PEDOT:PSS also prevents the stacking of rGO sheets, improves the electrical conductivity and provides partial capacitance. Attributed to the synergy, the obtained hybrid fiber exhibits remarkably improved performance in FSSC with volumetric/areal specific capacitance of 226.5 F cm(-3)/279.3 mF cm(-2) at 0.5 A cm(-3) and rate performance of 74.7% capacitance retention at 50 A cm(-3), which is much superior to the counterpart of previously-reported FSSC devices. Meanwhile, the resultant FSSC device also exhibits superb electrochemical stability (91%, 10000 cycles), holding a great application prospect in wearable electronics. (C) 2021 Elsevier Ltd.
