Abstract
AbstractInsufficient and unstable energy output is the bottleneck issue radically restricting the application of micro‐supercapacitors (MSCs). Herein, an interlayer atom injection strategy that can anchor low‐valence Zn atoms (Znδ+, 0 < δ <2) on O‐terminals of Ti3C2Tx (MXene) flakes within the MXene/silver‐nanowires hybrid cathode of symmetric MSCs is first presented. Combining the polyacrylamide/ZnCl2 hydrogel electrolyte rich in Cl− and Zn2+ ions, the matched Znδ+/Zn2+ (−0.76 V vs SHE) and Ag/AgCl (0.23 V vs SHE), redox couples between the symmetrical electrodes are activated to offer faradaic charge storage beside ions‐intercalation involved pseudocapacitance. Thus, a battery‐type voltage plateau (≈0.9 V) appears in the discharge curve of a fabricated pseudo‐symmetric micro‐redox capacitor, simultaneously achieving energy density enhancement (117 µWh cm−2 at 0.5 mA cm−2) and substantially improved power output stability (46% of the energy from the plateau region) relative to that before activation (98 µWh cm−2 without voltage platform). The work provides a fire‐new strategy to overcome the performance bottlenecks confronting conventional MSCs.
