PG - 271-278 LID - S0021-9797(17)30890-1 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jcis.2017.08.005 [doi] AB - In this article we demonstrate a simple approach to fabricate interdigitated in-plane electrodes for flexible micro-supercapacitors (MSCs). A nanosecond ultraviolet laser treatment is used to reduce and pattern the electrodes on thick graphite oxide (GO) freestanding films. These laser-treated regions obtained by direct writing provide the conducting channels for electrons in the capacitors. The electrochemical performance of the MSCs was evaluated in the presence of two different electrolytes and they exhibit characteristics of nearly electrical double layer capacitors. The MSCs have areal capacitances as 2.40, 2.23 and 1.62muF/cm(2) for NaOH, Na(2)SO(4) and KCl electrolytes respectively, for measurements performed at the scan rate of 50mV/s. They retain approximately 93.1% of their initial capacitances after 3500 cycles (scan rate=80mV/s) in NaOH electrolyte. The proposed laser treatment approach enables facile and fast fabrication of flexible MSCs without the need for tedious processing methods such as photolithographic micro-patterning and deposition of porous carbon or metallic current collectors.
