Abstract
Abstract On‐chip microsupercapacitors (MSC) with facile fabrication procedures, high integration design, and superior performance are desired as an energy storage device for microelectronics. Hence, a novel procedure is proposed to fabricate an asymmetric microsupercapacitor (AMSC), employing interwoven nanowire (NW) network electrodes of poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) coated titanium oxynitride (P‐TiON) and vanadium nitride (VN) NW as a cathode and an anode, respectively. The interwoven NWs with a high mass loading offer a sufficient electrochemical reaction area and rapid electron/ion transport pathway, delivering superior energy and power densities. With the LiCl/polyvinyl alcohol electrolyte, the assembled P‐TiON//VN AMSC can achieve a wide voltage window from 0 to 1.8 V with an excellent areal capacitance of 72 mF cm −2 , a high areal energy density of 32.4 μWh cm −2 (at 0.9 mW cm −2 ), an outstanding power density of 45 mW cm −2 (at 21.9 μWh cm −2 ), and a good cycling performance. Furthermore, the substrate‐free electrodes exhibit outstanding integrability, and the system on one printed circuit board including two AMSCs in series and a LED demonstrates excellent practicability.
