Ultrahigh energy density supercapacitors through a double hybrid strategy

Herein, we are presenting all-solid-state symmetric supercapacitors (ASSSCs) with an innovative double hybrid strategy, where a hybrid material based on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) anchored with phoshotungstic acid, rGO-HPWO) is combined with hybrid electrolyte (hydroquinone-doped gel electrolyte)....

Descrição
Resumo:Herein, we are presenting all-solid-state symmetric supercapacitors (ASSSCs) with an innovative double hybrid strategy, where a hybrid material based on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) anchored with phoshotungstic acid, rGO-HPWO) is combined with hybrid electrolyte (hydroquinone-doped gel electrolyte). Initially, a hybrid electrode is fabricated by decorating HPWO nanodots onto the surface rGO (rGO-PW). Next, a symmetric cell based on rGO-PW electrodes was assembled with PVA-HSO polymer gel-electrolyte. Interestingly, rGO-PW symmetric cell revealed a substantial enhancement in the cell performance as compared to parent rGO systems. It featured a widened potential range of 1.6 V, thereby providing 1.05 mWh/cm energy density. The electrochemical performance of rGO-PW cell was further advanced by introducing redox-active (hydroquinone) species in to the PVA-HSO gel-electrolyte. Indeed, the performance of rGO-PW cell was surprisingly improved with an ultra-high energy density of 2.38 mWh/cm (more than two-fold).
