AbstractDesigning high-performance electrodes via 3D printing for advanced energy storage is appealing but remains challenging. In normal cases, light-weight carbonaceous materials harnessing excellent electrical conductivity have served as electrode candidates. However, they struggle with undermined areal and volumetric energy density of supercapacitor devices, thereby greatly impeding the practical applications. Herein, we demonstrate the in situ coupling of NiCoP bimetallic phosphide and Ti3C2 MXene to build up heavy NCPM electrodes affording tunable mass loading throughout 3D printing technology. The resolution of prints reaches 50 μm and the thickness of device electrodes is ca. 4 mm. Thus-printed electrode possessing robust open framework synergizes favorable capacitance of NiCoP and excellent conductivity of MXene, readily achieving a high areal and volumetric capacitance of 20 F cm−2 and 137 F cm−3 even at a high mass loading of ~ 46.3 mg cm−2. Accordingly, an asymmetric supercapacitor full cell assembled with 3D-printed NCPM as a positive electrode and 3D-printed activated carbon as a negative electrode harvests remarkable areal and volumetric energy density of 0.89 mWh cm−2 and 2.2 mWh cm−3, outperforming the most of state-of-the-art carbon-based supercapacitors. The present work is anticipated to offer a viable solution toward the customized construction of multifunctional architectures via 3D printing for high-energy-density energy storage systems.

Rational design and development of the electrodes with high-mass loading yet maintaining the excellent electrochemical properties are significant for a variety of electrochemical energy storage applications. In comparison with the slurry-casted electrode, herein, a hierarchically porous activated carbon (HPAC) electrode with higher mass loading (8.3 ± 0.2 mg/cm2) is successfully prepared. The pouch-type symmetric device (1 cell) with the propylene carbonate-based electrolyte shows the rate capability (7.1 F at 1 mA/cm2 and 4.8 F at 10 mA/cm2) and the cycling stability (83% at 12,000 cycles). On the other hand, an initial discharge capacitance of 32.4 F and the capacitance retention of 96% after 30,000 cycles are delivered from a pouch-type symmetric supercapacitor (five cells). The corresponding electrochemical performances are attributed to the fascinating properties of the HPAC and the synergistic features of the resulting electrode.

AbstractEffectively achieving wound healing is a great challenge. Herein, we facilely prepared temperature-responsive MXene nanobelt fibers (T-RMFs) carrying vitamin E with a controllable release ability for wound healing. These T-RMFs were composed of MXene nanosheets spread along polyacrylonitrile and polyvinylpyrrolidone composite nanobelts together with a thermosensitive PAAV- coating layer. The high mass loading and high surface area of the MXene nanosheets endow the T-RMFs with excellent photothermal properties. The temperature could be easily controlled by near-infrared (NIR) irradiation exposure, and then the thermoresponsive polymeric coating layer relaxed the interface to dissolve vitamin E and promote vitamin E release. The T-RMFs demonstrated excellent biocompatibility and wound-healing functions in cellular and animal tests. The facile method, high mass loading, high surface area, excellent wound-healing functions, interesting nanosheet/nanobelt structure, mass production potential, and NIR responsive properties of these T-RMFs indicate the great potential of our nanobelts for wound healing, tissue engineering, and much broader application areas. This facile nanosheet/nanobelt preparation strategy paves a new way for nanomaterial fabrication and applications.

Crucial Parameter

The purpose of this study is to highlight the influence of some fabrication parameters, such as mass loading and porosity, which are not really elucidated and standardized during the realization of electrodes for supercapacitors, especially when using metal oxides as electrode materials. Electrode calendering, as one stage during the fabrication of electrodes, was carried out step-by-step on manganese dioxide electrodes to study the decreasing porosity effect on the electrochemical performance of a MnO2 symmetric device. One other crucial parameter, the mass loading, which has to be understood and well used for realistic supercapacitors, was investigated concurrently. Gravimetric, areal and volumetric capacitances are highlighted, varying the porosity for low-, medium- and large-mass loading. Low-loading leads to the best specific capacitances but is not credible for realistic supercapacitors, except for microdevices. Down 50% porosities after calendering, capacitances are increased and become stable faster, suggesting a faster wettability of the dense electrodes by the electrolyte, especially for high-mass loading. EIS experiments performed on electrodes without and with calendering lead to a significant decrease of the device’s time response, especially at high loading. A high-mass loading device seems to work as a power battery, whereas electrode calendaring, which allows decreasing the time response, leads to an electrical behavior closer to that expected for a supercapacitor.
