Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Electrochemistry
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Solid-state supercapacitors are crucial for flexible electronics.
  • Graphene hydrogels offer promising electrode materials but often suffer from high internal resistance.
  • Enhancing the electrochemical performance of supercapacitors is key for advanced energy storage.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To fabricate bendable solid-state supercapacitors using gold nanoparticle (NP)-embedded graphene hydrogel (GH) electrodes.
  • To investigate the impact of Au NP embedment on the internal resistance and capacitive performance of GH electrodes.
  • To evaluate the energy density, specific capacitance, and mechanical flexibility of the developed supercapacitors.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of graphene hydrogel (GH) electrodes.
  • Embedding of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) into the GH matrix.
  • Electrochemical characterization including cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge-discharge, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.
  • Mechanical testing under tensile and compressive bending conditions.

Main Results:

  • Embedding Au NPs into GH electrodes decreased internal resistance from 35 to 21 Ω.
  • A threefold reduction in IR drop was observed at a current density of 5 A/g.
  • The Au NP-embedded GH supercapacitors (NP-GH SCs) achieved a specific capacitance of 135 F/g and an energy density of 15.2 W·h/kg.
  • NP-GH SCs demonstrated comparable areal capacitance (168 mF/cm²) and maintained performance under bending.

Conclusions:

  • Au NP embedment is an effective strategy to reduce internal resistance in graphene hydrogel electrodes.
  • The developed NP-GH SCs exhibit excellent capacitive performance and mechanical flexibility for bendable energy storage.
  • These findings highlight the potential of Au NP-embedded GH for next-generation flexible solid-state supercapacitors.
