How to achieve high mass loadings while maintaining high energy and power densities together with slow self-discharge rates for aqueous asymmetric supercapacitors (AASCs) remains a great challenge. Herein, we tested an AASC using Ti3C2Tz MXene as the negative electrode, a mixture of manganese oxides, Mn3O4 and MnOOH, as the positive electrode with a saturated lithium chloride (14 M LiCl) electrolyte. This device, with electrode thicknesses of > 100 mu m, and a mass loading of similar to 10 mg cm(-2), resulted in an energy density of approximate to 30 Wh kg(-1) at 0.5 A g(-1), a power density of approximate to 23 kW kg(-1) at 20 A g(-1), an open cell voltage of 2.3 V, excellent rate capability and cycling stability. When allowed to self-discharge for 54 h at room temperature, similar to 66% of the voltage was retained. Crucially, after that time the cell voltage was > 1.5 V. This work opens a new opportunity for high performance, environmentally friendly AASCs, where high energy and power densities are combined with slow self-discharge rates at commercial mass loadings.
