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.
