Abstract

Fibrous supercapacitors (SCs) are emerging promising power sources for flexible/wearable electronics and have attracted an extensive amount of attention from researchers. However, the low energy density has always hindered their further development. Here, a coaxial fibrous SC (CFSC) was fabricated by one-step wet-spinning combined with an electrodeposition strategy. Benefiting from the large surface area and abundant pore structure of carbon-modified nitrogen-doped MXene nanosheets (NS), as well as the high conductivity of silver (Ag) NS, the electrolyte ion/electron transport paths are significantly improved. Furthermore, the distributed GO in the P(VDF-HFP) separator could form a high-speed continuous ion transport channel, thus enhancing the ionic conductivity. At a power density of 40-200 μW cm<sup>-2</sup>, the CFSC shows a high energy density of 0.7-3.39 μWh cm<sup>-2</sup>. The as-prepared CFSC also maintains an excellent capacitance retention rate of 90.3% even after 15 000 charge-discharge cycles. This work provides a general strategy for manufacturing high-performance, flexible, and wearable SCs.
