As the world grapples with the pressing matter of environmental sustainability, there is a growing need for energy storage technologies that are eco-efficient. High-performance and dendrite-free zinc-ion hybrid supercapacitor presents an innovative concept that has the potential to revolutionize the way we power our electric vehicles. Amidst a society heavily dependent on non-renewable energy sources, our research team has developed an innovative approach to tackle this crisis. Integrating the advantages of batteries and supercapacitors, the zinc-ion hybrid supercapacitor (ZIHSC) offers a cost-effective, secure, and eco-friendly alternative to conventional energy storage systems. The key to the novelty of the device lies in the unique design of the anode and cathode materials. Through the process of electrodepositing zinc nanosheets onto a stainless-steel mesh, we have significantly enhanced
the electrochemical performance of ZIHSC by increasing active sites and reducing dendritic formation. With a cathode made from activated carbon derived from jute sticks and graphite foil, ZIHSC shows remarkable energy densities of 84 Wh kg-1 at 0.5 A g-1 and power densities of 400 W kg-1. The device also exhibits a specific capacitance of 236 Fg-1 at 0.5 Ag-1. However, the real game-changer is that ZIHSC possesses remarkable endurance and long-lasting performance with an impressive 95% capacity retention rate after 10,000 cycles. When integrated with solar cells, our prototype ZIHSC provides reliable power for electric vehicles, thus contributing to the establishment of a sustainable future for transportation. This breakthrough has the potential to transform the energy storage industry, meeting the growing demand for clean and efficient solutions. Paving the way towards a cleaner environment.
