要旨:
Future electronic applications such as wearable electronics depend on the successful construction of energy storage devices with superior flexibility and high electrochemical performance. However, these prerequisites are challenging to combine: external forces often cause performance degradation while the trade-off between the required nanostructures for strength and electrochemical performance results only in energy storage. In this paper, we present a flexible supercapacitor design based on tannic acid (TA) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with a unique nanostructure. Here, TA is self-assembled on the surface of the CNTs by metal-phenolic coordination bonds which provides the hybrid film with both, high strength and high pseudocapacitance. Besides a 17 times increased mechanical strength of the final composite, the hybrid film simultaneously exhibits excellent flexibility and volumetric capacitance.
