Laser-induced electron synchronization excitation for photochemical synthesis and patterning graphene-based electrode

Abstract

Micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) represent a pressing requirement for powering the forthcoming generation of micro-electronic devices. The simultaneous realization of high-efficiency synthesis of electrode materials and precision patterning for MSCs in a single step presents an ardent need, yet it poses a formidable challenge. Herein, a unique shaped laser-induced patterned electron synchronization excitation strategy has been put forward to photochemical synthesis RuO2/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) electrode and simultaneously manufacture the micron-scale high-performance MSCs with ultra-high resolution. Significantly, the technique represents a noteworthy advancement over traditional laser direct writing (LDW) patterning and photoinduced synthetic electrode methods. It not only improves the processing efficiency for MSCs and the controllability of laser-induced electrode material but also enhances electric fields and potentials at the interface for better electrochemical performance. The resultant MSCs exhibit excellent area and volumetric capacitance (516 mF cm−2 and 1720 F cm−3), and ultrahigh energy density (0.41 Wh cm−3) and well-cycle stability (retaining 95% capacitance after 12000 cycles). This investigation establishes a novel avenue for electrode design and underscores substantial potential in the fabrication of diverse microelectronic devices.
