▎ 摘  要

Fiber-shaped supercapacitors (FSSCs) have attracted increasing attention for wearable electronics. Herein, an asymmetrical fiber-shaped supercapacitor, AFSSCs-ICS, with an innovative encapsulated core-sheath architecture has been successfully constructed for the first time. The sword-scabbard inspired AFSSCs-ICS was fabricated by simply inserting a 'sword' positive electrode, PPy-MWCNTs-silk, into one tubular graphene 'scabbard' negative electrode with H2SO4/PVA gel as electrolyte. Notably, our newly designed PPy-MWCNTs-silk electrode had an ultrahigh length specific capacitance of 15.3 mF cm(-1) (corresponding to high areal or volumetric capacitance of 676.9 mF cm(-2) or 376.3 F cm(-3)), representing one of the highest levels among the fabric yarn derived electrodes, while the hollow graphene tube depicted a superior linear capacitance of 19.1 mF cm(-1), which could match well with that of the PPy-MWCNTs-silk electrode. Benefiting from the innovative yet rational structure, and ideally balanced charges, the AFSSCs-ICS had an extended operating potential of 1.6 V, and an outstanding length specific capacitance of 2.3 mF cm(-1) with a very admirable energy density of 0.8 mu Wh cm(-1), dramatically surpassing numerous reported FSSCs. Moreover, the AFSSCs-ICS device also afforded superb electrochemical and mechanical stabilities with retentions of 81% after 3000 charging-discharging cycles and 95-105% under bending degrees from 0 to 150 degrees. This study may pave a new way for constructing coaxial fiber shaped energy source unit for next-generation wearable and portable miniaturized electronics.
