High-Performance Pseudocapacitive Microsupercapacitors from Laser-Induced Graphene

Abstract

All-solid-state, flexible, symmetric, and asymmetric microsupercapacitors are fabricated by a simple method in a scalable fashion from laser-induced graphene on commercial polyimide films, followed by electrodeposition of pseudocapacitive materials on the interdigitated in-plane architectures. These microsupercapacitors demonstrate comparable energy density to commercial lithium thin-film batteries, yet exhibit more than two orders of magnitude higher power density with good mechanical flexibility.
