Abstract:

Increased efforts have recently been devoted to developing high-energy-density flexible supercapacitors for their practical application in portable and wearable electronics. Although high operating voltages have been achieved in fiber-shaped asymmetric supercapacitors   (FASCs), low specific capacitance still restricts further enhancement of their energy density. This article specifies a facile and cost-effective method to directly grow three-dimensionally well-aligned zinc-nickel-cobalt oxide (ZNCO)@Ni(OH)2 nanowire arrays (NWAs) on carbon nanotube fiber (CNTF) with ultrahigh specific capacitance of 2847.5 F/cm3 (10.678 F/cm2) at a current density of 1 mA/cm2, which is approximately five times higher than that of ZNCO NWAs/CNTF electrode (2.10 F/cm2) and four times of Ni(OH)2/CNTF electrode (2.55 F/cm2). Benefiting from their unique features, we successfully fabricated a prototype coaxial FASC (CFASC) with a maximum operating voltage of 1.6 V, which was assembled by adopting ZNCO@Ni(OH)2 NWAs/CNTF as the core electrode and thin carbon layer coated vanadium nitride   (VN@C) NWAs on carbon nanotube strip (CNTS) as the outer electrode with KOH poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) as the gel electrolyte. A high specific capacitance of 94.67 F/cm3 (573.75 mF/cm2) and an exceptional energy density of 33.66 mWh/cm3 (204.02 μWh/cm2) were achieved for our CFASC device, which represent the highest level of fiber-shaped supercapacitors to date. More importantly, the fiber-shaped ZnO-based photodetector is powered by the integrated CFASC and it demonstrates excellent sensitivity of detecting UV light. Thus, this work paves the way to construct ultrahigh˗capacity electrode materials for  next-generation wearable energy-storage devices.
