Abstrakt: The ever-growing demand for portable, bendable, twistable, and wearable microelectronics operating in a wide temperature range has stimulated an immense interest in the development of solid-state flexible energy storage devices using scalable fabrication technology. Herein, we developed additively manufactured graphene aerosol gel-based all-solid-state micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) via inkjet printing with functioning temperature in the range from −15 to +70 °C and exhibiting a super-stable and reliable electrochemical performance using interdigitated finger electrodes and PVA/H3PO4 solid-state electrolyte. The graphene aerosol gel was obtained using a scalable single step synthesis method from a gas phase precursor using a detonation process, producing a nanoscale shell type structure. The fabricated graphene aerosol gel-based solid-state MSC achieved a volumetric capacitance of 376.63 mF cm−3 (areal capacitance of 76.23 μF cm−2) at a constant current of 0.25 μA and demonstrated exceptional cyclic stability (∼99.6% of capacitance retention) over 10 000 cycles. To exploit the mechanical strength of the as-fabricated graphene aerosol gel-based solid-state MSC, its supercapacitive performance was scrutinized under various bending and twisting angles and the results showed excellent mechanical flexibility. Furthermore, to study the electrochemical performance of the as-fabricated graphene aerosol gel solid-state MSC in stringent surroundings, a broad temperature dependent supercapacitive analysis was performed as stated above. The electrochemical results of the as-fabricated graphene aerosol gel based all-solid-state MSC exhibit a highly potential route to develop scalable and authentic future miniaturized energy storage devices for IoT based smart electronic appliances.
