Fabrication of high-performance MXene-based all-solid-state flexible microsupercapacitor based on a facile scratch method

MXenes have emerged as promising electrode materials for microsupercapacitors (MSCs) owing to their high volumetric and areal capacitances. In addition to the development of novel electrode materials, fabrication of interdigital electrodes is another key to realize high-performance MSCs. Herein, we demonstrate the patterning of few-layered Ti3C2Tx nanosheets on various substrates for MSCs by a facile, fast, and nearly zero-cost 'scratch' strategy. The fabricated Ti3C2Tx-based all-solid-state MSC achieves a high areal capacitance of 25.5 mF cm(-2), which benefits from the unique layered structure and high electrical conductivity of the electrode. The fabricated planar MSC also delivers good cycling stability and excellent flexibility. Moreover, our fabrication strategy can be readily extended to other composite films for MSCs and become potential micropower sources for miniaturized electronic devices.
