Abstract

High-frequency responsive electrochemical capacitor (EC), as an ideal lightweight filtering capacitor, can directly convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). However, current electrodes are stuck in limited electrode area and tortuous ion transport. Herein, strictly vertical graphene arrays (SVGAs) prepared by electric-field-assisted plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition have been successfully designed as the main electrode to ensure ions rapidly adsorb/desorb in richly available graphene surface. SVGAs exhibit an outstanding specific areal capacitance of 1.72 mF cm-2 at Φ120 =80.6° even after 500 000 cycles, which is far better than that of most carbon-related materials. Impressively, the output voltage could also be improved to 2.5 V when using organic electrolyte. An ultra-high energy density of 0.33 μWh cm-2 can also be handily achieved. Moreover, ECs-SVGAs can well smooth arbitrary AC waveforms into DC signals, exhibiting excellent filtering performance.
