Back Cover: Article number 2100731 describes the fabrication of a micro-supercapacitor on printed circuit board. Volker Strauss, Alexander J. C. Kuehne, and co-workers develop laser-carbonization process for polyacrylonitrile films, leading to patterned, interdigitated carbon electrodes. The unexposed, non-carbonized areas film can be peeled-off fully expose carbonized electrodes an electrolyte...

This paper reports the implementation of temporal capillary microfluidic patterns and biological nanoscaffolds in autonomous microfabrication of nanostructured symmetric electrochemical supercapacitors. A photoresist layer was first patterned on the substrate, forming a capillary microfluidics layer with two separated interdigitated microchannels. Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) macromolecules suspe...

Micro-Power Management (μPM) is essential to supply power to autarkic sensor nodes from energy harvesting sources. As there are numerous ways to realize a μPM, the question arises of how to benchmark different managements under reproducible boundary conditions. In this paper we present these conditions for solar harvesting.Further, we propose a system efficiency definition, which is applicable ...

A green asymmetric supercapacitor with high energy density has been developed using birnessite-type ultrathin porous MnO(2) nanoflowers (UBMNFs) as positive electrode and functional mesoporous carbon nanotubes (FMCNTs) as negative electrode in 1 M Na(2)SO(4) electrolyte. Both of the electrode materials possess excellent electrochemical performances, with high surface areas and narrow pore size ...

Electrical double layer supercapacitor is very significant in the field of electrical energy storage which can be the solution for the current revolution in the electronic devices like mobile phones, camera flashes which needs flexible and miniaturized energy storage device with all non-aqueous components. The multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) have been synthesized by catalytic chemical vapo...

Expanding the range of supercapacitor operation to temperatures above 100 °C is important because this would enable capacitors to operate under the severe conditions required for next-generation energy storage devices. In this study, we address this challenge by the fabrication of a solid-state supercapacitor with a proton-conducting Sn(0.95)Al(0.05)H(0.05)P(2)O(7) (SAPO)-polytetrafluoroethylen...
