Sumario:Up to now, the scientific community has achieved a significant progress in designing innovative, flexible and conductive materials, paving the way for the advancement of cutting-edge electronic devices dedicated for smart wearable applications. Herein, the introduction of carbon cloth (CC)-based platform for energy storage devices was adopted for nanomaterial coating and improved multilayer adhesion. Using carbon xerogel (CX) and manganese dioxide (MnO<inf>2</inf>) printed on CC, an asymmetric supercapacitor was developed, achieving a high specific capacitance of 213 F g<sup>−1</sup>, energy density of 24 Wh·kg<sup>−1</sup>, at a power density of 180 W kg<sup>−1</sup>, and low self-discharge rate with a voltage retention of 72 % after 22 h. This work paves the way for the adoption of carbon cloth thanks to its outstanding features as a promising and flexible platform to drive the development of next-generation smart and wearable electronic devices dedicated for healthcare and environmental monitoring applications.
