Abstract

In recent years, flexible supercapacitors (FSCs) have gained considerable attention as reliable power supplies for wearable and portable electronic devices. However, optimizing both energy and power densities remains a challenge and requires effective enhancement of two key components: the electrolyte and the electrode. To address this, we have developed a new and efficient approach to FSC fabrication using a ternary nanocomposite of laser-reduced graphene@polyaniline/NiFe₂O₄(LrGO@Pani-NF) as the electrode and stable polymer hydrogels as the electrolyte. Also, we constructed FSC devices using a cross-linked poly (vinyl alcohol)/deep eutectic solvent (DES) gel electrolyte (PVA/ChCl/EG) and a PVA/Polyaniline/Nickel Ferrite gel electrolyte (PVA/Pani/ NF). Among these devices, the LrGO@Pani-NF//LrGO@Pani-NF demonstrated a remarkable energy density of 48.4 Wh kg⁻1 at 401.8 W kg⁻1 and a long cycle life of 1000 cycles with 96.9 % capacity retention at 2 mA cm⁻2. Furthermore, the supercapacitors assembled with the DES gel exhibited excellent stability at higher voltages, operating within a potential window of 􀀀 3.0–3.0 V. This work not only enhances FSC electrochemical performance with graphene nanocomposite electrodes but also introduces a novel method for FSC design using conductive, stable gel electrolytes, thereby improving energy storage capabilities under harsh conditions.
