Abstract

AbstractAdditively manufactured (AM) supercapacitor platforms are fabricated from bespoke filaments, which are comprised of electro‐conductive graphene (20 wt%) incorporated polylactic acid (80 wt%), via fused deposition modeling and denoted as G/AMEs. The G/AMEs are shown to be capable of acting as a template for the electrodeposition of metals/metal oxides, in particular MoO2 nanowires (MoO2‐G/AMEs), which are subsequently explored as a capacitor within 1 m H2SO4, 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, and 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate. Optimization of the MoO2‐G/AMEs demonstrates capacitance up to 1212 F g–1 when used in a symmetric arrangement. The material science described herein represents a significant enhancement in unlocking AMs potential as a valid manufacturing route for device level capacitance architectures.

Highlights

  • Supercapacitors, or electrochemical capacitors, have attracted a great deal of attention as energy storage devices since they haveAdditive manufacturing (AM) is a method of manufacturing several advantages over batteries, such as high power densities, in which a model designed by Computer Aided Design (CAD) long life cycles, high reversibility, and relatively low cost

  • This paper introduces additive manufactured electrodes (AMEs) as a platform for modification, with specific materials via electrochemical decoration, and explores their ability to perform towards energy storage applications; such modification requires an AME with a conducive surface that is only possible via bespoke fabricated conductive filaments, which are not commercially available

  • It is important to note that the molybdenum oxides deposited via the technique described typically is comprised of a mixture of MoO2 and MoO3, it is common practice within the literature to denote the molybdenum oxides deposited as MoO2.[21]. Following the additive manufacturing of the graphene additively manufactured electrodes (G/AMEs), they were electrochemically decorated with MoO2 using a solution of 1 × 10−3 m Na2MoO4 at variable potential voltages and time spans

Summary

Introduction

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a method of manufacturing several advantages over batteries, such as high power densities, in which a model designed by Computer Aided Design (CAD) long life cycles, high reversibility, and relatively low cost. Over more-classical manufacturing techniques, in certain niche Supercapacitors are used to be separated into two common catapplications, as it allows for the rapid transition from an ini- egories: electrochemical double layer capacitors and pseudocatial CAD design to 3D objects. This is due to AM allowing for pacitors.
