Summary: Flexible all-solid-state supercapacitors (FASSS) are a new generation of energy storage devices that have received extensive attention due to their high power density, flexibility, light weight, small size, safety, and long cycle life. The electrode and electrolyte materials of FASSS greatly influence its electrochemical properties, making them subjects of wide study and research. Graphene-based gel with 3D network structure, combining the physicochemical properties of graphene and gel's structural properties, is a novel material used in FASSS to improve its electrochemical performance and functional properties.

Summary: MXene, a promising electrode material for supercapacitors, is difficult to assemble into electrodes due to self-restacking of MXene nanosheets caused by strong van der Waals force. To prevent self-restacking, continuous ultrathin carbon nanotube (CNT) films are introduced as interlayers between MXene layers, and freeze-drying is used to obtain composite films with a layered porous structure. The MXene/CNT composite films exhibit excellent electrochemical performance and have potential applications as flexible and wearable energy storage devices and textiles.

Summary: This study proposes a flexible and porous MXene-M supercapacitor electrode preparation strategy, which can simultaneously enlarge the interlayer spacing and create holes in the layers, improving ion diffusion rate. Experimental results show that Ti3C2Tx-Mn exhibits an excellent lifespan, still retaining 248 Fg-1 capacitance after 100,000 cycles at a current density of 100 Ag-1. Moreover, the Ti3C2Tx-Mn-based symmetric all-solid-state supercapacitor demonstrates outstanding volumetric energy (52.4 mWh cm-3) and retains 38.4 mWh cm-3 at an ultrahigh volumetric power density of 55.3 W cm-3. We believe this work provides insights into the regulation of MXene layer spacing and the design of porous structures, with potential applications in next-generation high-energy density and power density practical uses.

Summary: Doped carbon materials, especially F-doped carbon catalysts, have gained significant attention as metal-free catalysts for oxygen reduction reactions and as corrosion-resistant supports for Pt and non-Pt nanoparticles. F-doped carbon materials possess unique properties and greatly improve the activity and durability of the ORR compared to N-doped carbon materials. The high electronegativity of F-doping can efficiently modify the electronic band structure of carbon materials, favoring the ORR. This review systematically discusses the effect of F-doping/F co-doping on the electrocatalytic reduction of O2 in acidic and alkaline conditions, the stability and durability of fuel cell catalysts, and provides guidelines for working with F-doped carbons. Future research directions on F-doped carbons are also proposed to bridge the gap between laboratory-scale assessments and commercial applications.
