Currently, the development of novel, cheap and high-performance electrode materials for flexible energy-storage devices is being intensively pursued. Organic dyes are regarded as one of the most common water pollution sources, and their discharge not only damages the ecological balance but also wastes a lot of valuable chemical raw materials. With intrinsic redox functional groups, two types of widely used dyes including anthraquinone derivatives and phenothiazine dyes can be effectively removed from their effluent by a facile galvanostatic polymerization method, and resource utilized as electrochemical energy-storage materials. Based on this, a new kind of flexible supercapacitor based on dye molecules has been successfully fabricated, and exhibits excellent electrochemical performance, demonstrating a wise strategy for simultaneous wastewater treatment and preparation of functional devices.
目前，人们正在积极研究新型、廉价且高性能的电极材料，以用于柔性储能设备。有机染料被认为是最常见的水污染来源之一，其排放不仅破坏了生态平衡，还浪费了大量有价值的化学原料。具有本征氧化还原官能团的蒽醌衍生物和吩噻嗪染料这两种常用染料可以通过简单的恒电流聚合方法从其废水中有效去除，并作为电化学储能材料加以利用。基于此，成功制备了一种基于染料分子的新型柔性超级电容器，该超级电容器表现出优异的电化学性能，为同时进行废水处理和功能性器件制备提供了一种明智的策略。
