Flexible transparent supercapacitors (FTSCs) are essential for the development of next-generation transparent electronics, however, a significant challenge is to achieve high-areal-capacitance FTSCs without sacrificing optical transparency. Herein, poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS)-glued MoO nanowires anchored on the Ag nanofiber (AgNF) network are employed as FTSC film electrodes, in which the AgNF network provides primary conducting pathways and guarantees rapid electron transport, while wide-bandgap semiconductor MoO nanowires glued by the ultrathin PEDOT:PSS layer provide abundant redox-active sites to store energy. Benefiting from the PEDOT:PSS as the conducting glue to promote the connection at the junctions between AgNFs and MoO nanowires, the as-prepared AgNFs/MoO/PEDOT:PSS (AMP) film electrode demonstrates a high transmittance (82.8%) and large areal capacitance (15.7 mF cm), and has outperformed all the transparent conductive films known to date. Even after 11 000 charge/discharge cycles, the capacitance still remains at 92.4% of the initial value. The assembled all-solid-state FTSC device delivers an energy density of 0.623 μW h cm, a power density of 40 μW cm, and excellent mechanical robustness, implying a great potential in high performance FTSCs.
柔性透明超级电容器(FTSCs)对于下一代透明电子产品的发展至关重要,然而,一个重大挑战是在不牺牲光学透明度的情况下实现高面积电容的FTSCs。在此,聚(3,4-乙撑二氧噻吩):聚(苯乙烯磺酸盐)(PEDOT:PSS)粘结的MoO纳米线锚定在Ag纳米纤维(AgNF)网络上,被用作FTSC薄膜电极,其中AgNF网络提供主要的导电通路并保证快速的电子传输,而由超薄PEDOT:PSS层粘结的宽带隙半导体MoO纳米线提供丰富的氧化还原活性位点来存储能量。受益于PEDOT:PSS作为导电胶水促进AgNFs与MoO纳米线之间的连接,所制备的AgNFs/MoO/PEDOT:PSS(AMP)薄膜电极表现出高透光率(82.8%)和大的面积电容(15.7 mF cm),并且优于迄今为止已知的所有透明导电薄膜。即使经过11000次充放电循环后,电容仍保持在初始值的92.4%。组装的全固态FTSC器件具有0.623 μW h cm的能量密度、40 μW cm的功率密度以及出色的机械鲁棒性,这意味着在高性能FTSCs方面具有巨大潜力。
