The development of supramolecular GPEs based on deep eutectic solvents (DES) provides a stable voltage window for carbon-based EDLCs. The addition of quinhydrone can further increase the specific capacitance and energy density of the EDLC.
Gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) can avoid the electrolyte leakage risk of electrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLCs). But aqueous GPEs often suffer from narrow electrochemical windows. Herein, a series of deep eutectic solvent (DES)-based supramolecular GPEs are firstly developed for carbon-based EDLCs with wide voltage windows. The asfabricated DES-based GPE shows an ionic conductivity of -58 mS cm-1, which makes the stable voltage window of a carbon-based EDLC reach 2.4 V. The carbon-based EDLC exhibits a specific capacitance of 32.1 F g-1, an energy density of 24.6 Wh kg-1 and a capacitance retention of -90% after 15,000 charge-discharge cycles. Moreover, when quinhydrone is added into the DES-based GPE, the specific capacitance and energy density of the corresponding EDLC can be further expanded to 60 F g-1 and 43.6 Wh kg-1, respectively. Therefore, our work may present a universal strategy to prepare novel supramolecular GPEs for high-performance EDLCs with wide voltage windows. ? 2021 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC.
