Summary: In this study, MXene based electrode active materials and MXene cross-linked polyacrylic acid hydrogel electrolytes were successfully prepared, showing high cycling performance and high specific capacitance. Poly aniline with high capacitance values was grown on the MXene surface by in situ polymerization, significantly improving electrochemical properties. The PANI filled with MXene formed a 3D porous conductive network, reducing self-stacking of MXene and providing channels for electrolyte ions. The supercapacitor assembled with these materials exhibited good flexibility and a specific capacitance of 222 F g-1. The above results indicate promising applications in flexible wearable devices.

Summary: The MnO2 nanowires/polyaniline composite (MnO2NW/PANI) was prepared by synthesizing MnO2NW via hydrothermal method and then polymerizing aniline monomer on its surface. The composite showed a specific capacitance of 306.7 F/g, 28.4% higher than that of pristine MnO2. The enhanced capacitance was attributed to the reduced electric resistance within the composite and the synergistic effect between MnO2NW and PANI for fast ion/charge transfer. Moreover, the MnO2NW/PANI electrode exhibited stable cycle performance with 88.7% capacity retention after 5000 repeated cycles at a high current density of 5 A/g.

Summary: The core task of high performance flexible supercapacitor is to generate flexible electrode material that is high performance, light weight, and easy to process. Supercritical fluid technology is used to overcome the problems of low specific capacity and poor interface compatibility faced by electrochemical deposition method. An integrated polyaniline/carbon foam electrode material with improved electrochemical performance is constructed by utilizing the high diffusivity, strong permeability, and superior solvation ability of supercritical fluid to achieve controllable construction of composite microstructure and active interface regulation. The specific capacitance reaches 856.07 F/g at 1 A/g and high specific energy density of 96.3 Wh/kg at a power density of 3600 W/kg. This work enables the integration of polymer and carbon-based materials with higher specific capacity and better interface compatibility, leading to the construction of flexible electrodes with high specific and high stability using the high diffusivity, strong permeability, and superior solvation ability of supercritical fluid.

Summary: Aluminum ion batteries (AIBs) are currently gaining attention due to their high capacity, low cost, and safety, but their practical applications are limited due to the lack of suitable cathodes and complex energy storage mechanisms. Polyaniline, a type of conducting polymer, shows promise but has not been extensively studied for AIBs. In this study, emeraldine base polyaniline (PANI) was synthesized and used as a cathode in an Al/PANI cell with a chloroaluminate ionic liquid electrolyte. The PANI cathode exhibited better electrochemical performance, higher discharge specific capacity, and improved capacity retention compared to protonated polyaniline cathodes, due to a novel conversion process and reversible doping of chloroaluminate ions in the PANI-AlCl3 complex. These findings contribute to the development of high-performance AIBs with conducting polymers as cathode materials and provide insights into their charge storage and reaction mechanisms.
