▎ 摘  要

Fiber-shaped supercapacitors are promising and attractive candidates as energy storage devices for flexible and wearable electric products. However, their low energy density (because their microstructure lacks homogeneity and they have few electroactive sites) restricts their development and application. In this study, well-distributed polyaniline/graphene composite fibers were successfully fabricated through a new strategy of self-assembly in solution combined with microfluidic techniques. The uniform assembly of polyaniline on graphene oxide sheets at the microscale in a water/N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone blended solvent was accompanied by the in situ reduction of graphene oxides to graphene nanosheets. The assembled fiber-shaped supercapacitors with gel-electrolyte exhibit excellent electrochemical performance, including a large specific areal capacitance of 541.2 mF cm(-2), along with a high energy density of 61.9 mu W h cm(-2) at a power density of 294.1 mu W cm(-2). Additionally, they can power an electronic device and blue LED lights for several minutes. The enhanced electrochemical performance obtained is mainly attributed to the homogeneous architecture designed, with an increased number of electroactive sites and a synergistic effect between polyaniline and graphene sheets. This research provides an avenue for the synthesis of fiber-shaped electrochemically active electrodes and may promote the development of future wearable electronics.
