    摘要: An energy storage device includes a cathode including an active material with a material structure of MXenes, wherein the active material includes at least one electrochemically active component; and a gelatin-based electrolyte containing an aqueous electrolytic solution disposed adjacent to the electrode. The aqueous electrolytic solution is arranged to facilitate a physical and/or a chemical transformation of at least a portion of the active material upon an operation cycle of charging and discharging of the energy storage device.

    摘要: The present invention provides a high output voltage supercapacitor having a cathode including layers of phosphorene, an anode comprising zinc, and an organic-solvent-based electrolyte including zinc. The supercapacitor demonstrates a high anti-self-discharge. The organic electrolyte may include an anhydrous zinc salt, tetraethylammonium tetrafluoroborate, and propylene carbonate (Et4NBF4/PC). The electrochemical stability window of Et4NBF4/PC extends beyond 2.5 V. The supercapacitor can be charged to 2.5 V and possesses high initial discharge voltage. The supercapacitor delivered 130 F g−1 even after more than 9500 cycles at a current density of 0.5 A g−1. More importantly, the supercapacitor exhibits a capacitance retention of 70.16% even after 500 hours self-discharge behavior.
