Lithium ion capacitors with liquid electrolyte are prone to leakage, combustion, explosion and other dangerous accidents. To solve these problems, the solid gel separator prepared by polyvinylidene fluoride - six fluoropropene (PVDF-HFP) is used in this work to improve the safety and stability of lithium ion supercapacitors. The PVDF-HFP based gel separator was used to replace the commercial separator and electrolyte in the lithium ion capacitor. The solid-state lithium ion supercapacitor was matched with porous carbon (PC) and hard carbon (HC). The maximum energy density of the device is 148.76 wh/kg, even at the power density of 33.6 kW/kg, which still retains 20.6 wh/kg. In addition, 83.3% capacity of solid-state lithium-ion supercapacitor is retained after 8000 times of charge and discharge. The requirements of high power energy density, high cycle stability and high safety are realized.

AbstractLithium-ion capacitors are envisaged as promising energy-storage devices to simultaneously achieve a large energy density and high-power output at quick charge and discharge rates. However, the mismatched kinetics between capacitive cathodes and faradaic anodes still hinder their practical application for high-power purposes. To tackle this problem, the electron and ion transport of both electrodes should be substantially improved by targeted structural design and controllable chemical doping. Herein, nitrogen-enriched graphene frameworks are prepared via a large-scale and ultrafast magnesiothermic combustion synthesis using CO2 and melamine as precursors, which exhibit a crosslinked porous structure, abundant functional groups and high electrical conductivity (10524 S m−1). The material essentially delivers upgraded kinetics due to enhanced ion diffusion and electron transport. Excellent capacities of 1361 mA h g−1 and 827 mA h g−1 can be achieved at current densities of 0.1 A g−1 and 3 A g−1, respectively, demonstrating its outstanding lithium storage performance at both low and high rates. Moreover, the lithium-ion capacitor based on these nitrogen-enriched graphene frameworks displays a high energy density of 151 Wh kg−1, and still retains 86 Wh kg−1 even at an ultrahigh power output of 49 kW kg−1. This study reveals an effective pathway to achieve synergistic kinetics in carbon electrode materials for achieving high-power lithium-ion capacitors.

Lithium-ion capacitors (LICs) have been widely explored for energy storage. Nevertheless, achieving good energy density, satisfactory power density, and stable cycle life is still challenging. For this study, we fabricated a novel LIC with a NiO-rGO composite as a negative material and commercial activated carbon (AC) as a positive material for energy storage. The NiO-rGO//AC system utilizes NiO nanoparticles uniformly distributed in rGO to achieve a high specific capacity (with a current density of 0.5 A g−1 and a charge capacity of 945.8 mA h g−1) and uses AC to provide a large specific surface area and adjustable pore structure, thereby achieving excellent electrochemical performance. In detail, the NiO-rGO//AC system (with a mass ratio of 1:3) can achieve a high energy density (98.15 W h kg−1), a high power density (10.94 kW kg−1), and a long cycle life (with 72.1% capacity retention after 10,000 cycles). This study outlines a new option for the manufacture of LIC devices that feature both high energy and high power densities.

A 4.5 V “dual carbon” LIC device is constructed based on all nitrogen doped graphene nanostructures. It could achieve an ultrahigh energy density of 187.9 W h kg−1 at a high power density of 2250 W kg−1 due to the alleviating kinetic mismatch.
