Abstract
A facile and expandable methodology was successfully developed to fabricate laser-induced
graphene from novel pristine aminated polyethersulfone (amPES) membranes. The as-prepared
materials were applied as flexible electrodes for microsupercapacitors. The doping of amPES
membranes with various weight percentages of carbon black (CB) microparticles was then
performed to improve their energy storage performance. The lasing process allowed the formation
of sulfur- and nitrogen-codoped graphene electrodes. The effect of electrolyte on the
electrochemical performance of as-prepared electrodes was investigated and the specific
capacitance was significantly enhanced in 0.5 M HClO4. Remarkably, the highest areal capacitance
of 47.3 mF·cm-2 was achieved at a current density of 0.25 mA·cm-2. This capacitance is
approximately 12.3 times higher than the average value for commonly used polyimide membranes.
Furthermore, the energy and power densities were as high as 9.46 µWh·cm-2 and 0.3 mW·cm-2 at
0.25 mA·cm-2, respectively. The galvanostatic charge-discharge experiments confirmed the
excellent performance and stability of amPES membranes during 5,000 cycles, where more than
100% of capacitance retention was achieved and the coulombic efficiency was improved up to
96.67%. Consequently, the fabricated CB-doped PES membranes offer several advantages
including low carbon fingerprint, cost-effectiveness, high electrochemical performance and
potential applications in wearable electronic systems.
