In this work, we report a rapid and straightforward method for preparing CC-based electrode materials for high performance supercapacitors using microwaves. Microwave irradiation efficiently activates the surface pores of carbon fibers, and increases specific capacitance markedly as compared with pristine CC. In addition, surfaces of microwave-treated CCs (m-CCs) are coated with reduced graphene oxide (RGO) or MnO2, and the resulting electrode materials exhibit excellent electrochemical performances, such as, high specific capacitances, high rate capabilities, and long-term cycling stabilities. Flexible solid-state supercapacitor devices are fabricated using a RGO/m-CC as a negative electrode and a MnO2/m-CC as a positive electrode. The produced asymmetric supercapacitors show an excellent resilience to harsh electrochemical and mechanical conditions, and high energy and power densities. |
