摘要

A high-performance organogel electrolyte was constructed using sulfonic acid group (4-sulfocalix[4]arene hydrate)-modified poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) to form a three-dimensional network structure coupled with synergistic Zn2+ coordination. This organogel electrolyte exhibits exceptional tensile strength (300 kPa) and elongation (800%). Owing to its mouldability and compressive resilience, it is suitable for fabricating customisable energy storage devices. The assembled flexible zinc-ion supercapacitor (FZIC) demonstrates outstanding specific capacitance (184 F g−1), energy density (12.52 Wh kg−1), ionic conductivity (45.05 mS cm−1) and cycling stability. Additionally, it exhibits remarkable operational stability, reliably powering a wristwatch for 3.5 h. This study offers novel insights into advancing FZIC technologies.
