Flexible all-solid electrochemical capacitors
composed of inorganic nanosheets

P
rotonic electrochemical capacitors using oxide electrodes
and aqueous electrolyte is a promising candidate for the
energy storage device with high energy & power densities and
reliable safety. The use of solid electrolytes in place of aqueous
solutions enables to fabricate thin-film type electrochemical
capacitors, and it is expected to apply themfor various portable
devices. “Nanosheets” are plate-like particles with thickness
of only a few nanometers, and are prepared by delamination
of layer-structured compounds. We found that thin films
prepared by restacking of nanosheets have excellent bending
durability. Namely, their conductivities are kept almost
unchanged under bending deformation. Electrochemical
capacitors were assembled with thin-film electrodes of RuO
2
and/or Hx(Ni,Co,Mn)O
2
and an electrolyte layer of LDH
(layered Mg-Al double hydroxide). These capacitors showed
reversible capacities even under bending with a curvature
radius of 3 mm. Such flexible electrochemical capacitors are
expected to be applied as thin-film energy storage devices
for wearable and miniaturized electronic devices. In the talk,
mechanisms of the bending durability and effects of electrode
configuration are also described.
