柔性透明锌离子混合超级电容器(Zinc-ion hybrid supercapacitors, ZHSCs)不仅兼具高能量密度和大功率密度的优势, 还展现出优秀的透光性, 正引领柔性电子技术的新革命. 过渡金属碳/氮化物(MXenes)具有高导电性、大比表面积等特点, 是制备ZHSCs的理想电极材料. 然而, 目前MXenes不仅面临合成片层尺寸小、电化学性能受限的问题, 还面临着合成产率低、成本高、难以大规模应用等问题. 本工作开发了一种简单有效的合成方法, 通过原位刻蚀制得多层Ti3C2Tx (MXene), 结合机械振荡法, 用于大尺寸Ti3C2Tx的高产率制备. 当剥离时间为1.5 h时, Ti3C2Tx薄片尺寸可达5.2 μm, 且有着32.4%的高产率. 采用Ti3C2Tx薄膜电极作为正极, 氧化铟锡/聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(ITO/PET)基底电沉积锌作为负极, 以三氟甲烷磺酸锌为电解质, 组装了ZHSCs. 实验结果表明, ZHSCs的电压窗口达到1.2 V, 具有大的面积比电容(7.79 mF•cm-2)、高功率密度(60.0 µW•cm-2)、高能量密度(1.56 µWh•cm-2)和良好的透光度(62.1%), 将其进行180°的弯曲折叠后, 仍有94.1%的电容保留率.

The iteration of intelligent electronic products has promoted the rapid development of flexible transparent electronics, greatly stimulating the demand of matched energy storage units. Flexible transparent zinc-ion hybrid supercapacitors (ZHSCs) not only combine the advantages of high energy density and high power density, but also exhibit excellent transparency, leading a new revolution in flexible electronic technology. Transparent conductive electrode is the most critical component of ZHSCs, which determines the energy storage characteristics of the whole device. Therefore, it is very important to develop advanced electrode materials with high specific capacitance and high optical transmittance. Transition metal carbides/nitrides (MXenes) are considered ideal materials for fabricating ZHSCs due to their high electrical conductivity and large specific surface area. However, it still faces challenges of small flake size and limited electrochemical performance, as well as low synthesis yield, high cost, and difficulty in large-scale application. To address these issues, this work reports a simple and effective method to fabricate high-yield large-sized Ti3C2Tx, through in-situ etching approach to prepare multilayer Ti3C2Tx (MXene) and mechanical shaking strategy. Using Ti3C2Tx electrode as the positive electrode, zinc electro-deposited indium tin oxide/polyethylene terephthalate (ITO/PET) as the negative electrode, and zinc trifluoromethanesulfonate as the electrolyte, an asymmetric ZHSC device was assembled. Experimental results show that when the shaking time is 1.5 h, the Ti3C2Tx flake size reaches 5.2 μm with a high yield of 32.4%. The resulting ZHSCs exhibit a voltage window of 1.2 V, a large areal capacitance of 7.79 mF•cm-2, high power density of 60.0 µW•cm-2, high energy density of 1.56 µWh•cm-2, and high transparency of 62.1%. After bending and folding at 180°, the device retains 94.1% of its capacitance. Moreover, the ZHSC-30 device maintains a capacitance retention rate of 82.3% after 1000 cycles at a current density of 600 µA•cm-2, demonstrating its stable cycling performance. This work provides a powerful method for the fabrication of large-sized MXenes for application in flexible transparent ZHSCs.
