Chinese Academy of Sciences Suzhou Nano successfully builds a new type of flexible super capacitor

[China Instrument Network Instrument R&D] Recently, the Chen Wei Group, a researcher at the International Laboratory of the Suzhou Institute of Nanotechnology and Nanobionics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, designed and fabricated a porous carbon material with MOF structure, and successfully built a mechanical flexibility based on this material. Flexible super capacitor with high energy storage characteristics.


MOF structure porous carbon material preparation process
With the development of flexible electronics, wearable electronic devices are rapidly entering people's lives. In order to realize the productization of wearable devices, the energy supply components thereof also need to be flexible and high-performance. Therefore, high-performance flexible energy storage devices will increasingly show their potential market value. As a new type of electric energy storage device, the supercapacitor has a higher energy density than a conventional parallel plate capacitor, and its power density and service life are superior to those of a lithium ion battery, and thus has been widely studied.

However, after the ultracapacitor is subjected to bending deformation, the polymer electrolyte layer is kept well, the structure of the electrode material is often destroyed, and the energy storage characteristics are degraded. The lack of mechanical properties of electrode materials severely limits the application of ultracapacitors in the field of flexible wearables. Therefore, the development of flexible supercapacitors with both mechanical and energy storage characteristics still faces enormous challenges.



Characterization of Porous Carbon Energy Storage Characteristics of MOF Structure


Performance Characterization of Flexible Supercapacitors
The team first grew the MOF material in situ on the surface of the carbon nanotubes, and then used a high-temperature annealing process to obtain a MOF porous carbon material. This new material has high nitrogen doped (17.82%), high specific surface area (920m2g-1), narrow pore distribution (2.5 nm), and high conductivity (278 S m-1). From the structural design point of view, carbon nanotubes not only improve the conductivity of the material, but also gives continuity and flexibility to the material; on the other hand, the MOF structure plays a role in adsorbing and containing ions. Studies have shown that the specific capacitance of the new material measured in the water system is as high as 426F g-1, and the performance does not decay after 10,000 cycles. The team used a polymer interpenetrating network/ionic liquid electrolyte layer to further assemble a flexible thin-film supercapacitor with the electrode. Experiments have shown that the device has good performance and stable operation after being subjected to distortions such as twisting, stretching, and folding, etc., in the wearable device. The field has important application value. Related results have been published in Advanced Functional Materials, 2017, 27, 1606219.
