The restacking of the MXene film
limits its development to the
high energy density of flexible supercapacitors. In order to promote
the application of MXene films in portable electronic devices and
miniaturized energy storage devices, it is necessary to increase the
area capacitance of MXene films for the pursuit of high energy density.
The introduction of α-Fe2O3–C–MoS2-PEDOT:PSS (FMP) into MXene significantly increases the area
capacitance. Considering the large number of active sites on the surface
of MXene and its excellent hydrophilicity, FMP can be well-compounded
with MXene, and the accumulation and loss of FMP can be prevented.
Meanwhile, it can reduce the performance degradation caused by the
accumulation of MXene’s own structure and greatly increase
its capacitance value. It is worth mentioning that the MXene/FMP/MXene
(M/FMP/M) sandwich structure on the carbon cloth is reasonably designed
to show excellent performance. Therefore, the best M/FMP/M electrode
could attain a breakthrough in the area capacitance (2700 mF cm–2 and 541 F g–1). At the same time,
the electrode maintains a fine rate capability and fabulous flexibility.
In addition, the symmetrical supercapacitors also show a significant
energy density of 371 μW h cm–2 (12.36 W h·kg–1), making this sandwich structure electrode a promising
candidate for high-energy-density devices.
