摘要

For Lithium-ion capacitors (LICs), the electrode mismatches in charge storage capacity/kinetics and balancing high specific power with retained high specific energy remain critical challenges. Herein, porous carbon microtubes were fabricated via coaxial electrospinning by introducing pore-forming agent polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) into polyacrylonitrile (PAN). In half-cells (0.01 V–3.0 V), the anode exhibited an enhanced specific capacity of 329.9 mAh g−1 at the current density of 0.1 A g−1. Even at a higher current density of 1 A g−1, its specific capacity still reached 166.1 mAh g−1 and maintained 95% initial capacity after 200 cycles. The assembled AC//1-0.5CF LICs delivered a maximum specific energy of 80.4 Wh kg−1 and a peak specific power of 7.0 kW kg−1, highlighting its promising application potential in high-performance LICs. Furthermore, the method proposed in this work is applicable to other carbon-based composite materials and provides new insights for the manufacturing of high-performance flexible electrodes used in energy storage devices.
