Abstract

microsupercapacitor paper energy storage flexible MXene ESI Highly Cited Paper (Incites)
A simple and scalable direct laser machining process to fabricate MXene‐on‐paper coplanar microsupercapacitors is reported. Commercially available printing paper is employed as a platform in order to coat either hydrofluoric acid‐etched or clay‐like 2D Ti3C2 MXene sheets, followed by laser machining to fabricate thick‐film MXene coplanar electrodes over a large area. The size, morphology, and conductivity of the 2D MXene sheets are found to strongly affect the electrochemical performance due to the efficiency of the ion‐electron kinetics within the layered MXene sheets. The areal performance metrics of Ti3C2 MXene‐on‐paper microsupercapacitors show very competitive power‐energy densities, comparable to the reported state‐of‐the‐art paper‐based microsupercapacitors. Various device architectures are fabricated using the MXene‐on‐paper electrodes and successfully demonstrated as a micropower source for light emitting diodes. The MXene‐on‐paper electrodes show promise for flexible on‐paper energy storage devices. A cost‐effective and scalable direct laser machining process to fabricate microsupercapacitors based on 2D Ti3C2 MXene‐on‐paper is reported. Integrated MXene‐on‐paper micropower bank is capable of glowing a light source and can be employed in “On‐Paper” electronic or energy storage applications.
