Here we report a simple, scalable, and low-cost method to enhance the electrochemical properties of Mn oxide electrodes for highly efficient and flexible symmetrical supercapacitors. The method involving printing on a printer, pencil drawing, and electrodeposition is established to fabricate Mn oxide/Ni-nanotube/graphite/paper hybrid electrodes operating with a low-cost, novel urea-LiClO4/PVA as gel electrolyte for flexible solid-state supercapacitor (FSSC) devices, The Mn oxide nanofiber/Ni-nanotube/graphite/paper (MNNGP) electrodes in urea-LiClO4/PVA gel electrolyte show specific capacitance (C-sp) 960 F/g in voltage region 0.8 V at S mV/s and exhibit excellent rates of capacitance retention more than 85% after 5000 cycles. Moreover, the electrochemical behavior of the MNNGP' electrodes in urea-LiClO4/PVA at operating temperatures 27-110 degrees C was investigated; the results show that the MNNGP electrodes in urea-LiClO4/PVA exhibit outstanding performance (1100 F/g), even at 90 degrees C. The assembled FSSC devices based on the MNNGP electrodes in urea-LiClO4/PVA exhibit great Csp (380 F/g in potential region of 2.0 V at 5 mV/s, exhibiting superior energy:density 211.1 W h/kg) and great cycle stability (less than 15% loss after 5000 cycles at 25 mV/s). The oxidation-state change was examined by in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy. FSSC device would open new opportunities in developing novel portable, wearable, and roll-up electric devices owing to the cheap, high-performance, wide range of operating temperature; and simple procedures for large-area fabrication.
