Abstract

The development of 3D nanoarchitectures on flexible current collectors has emerged as an effective strategy for preparing advanced portable and wearable power sources. Herein, a flexible and efficient electrode is demonstrated based on electrospun carbon fibers (ECF) substrate with elaborately designed hierarchical porous V<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> nanosheets (V<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>-ECF). The unique configuration of V<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>-ECF composite film fully enables utilization of the synergistic effects from both high electrochemical performance of V<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> and excellent conductivity of ECF, endowing the films to be an excellent electrode for flexible and lightweight electrochemical capacitors (ECs). Benefiting from their intriguing structural features, V<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>-ECF and ECF films, directly used as electrodes for flexible asymmetric quasi-solid-state electrochemical capacitors, achieve superior flexibility and reliability, enhanced energy/power density, and outstanding cycling stability. Moreover, the ability to power light-emitting diodes (LED) also indicates the feasibility for practical use. Therefore, it is believed that this novel design may find promising application in flexible devices in future. © 2015 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
