3D Printing: 3d‐printed Structural Pseudocapacitors (adv. Mater. Technol. 9/2016)

Structural energy storage devices have the potential to transform products such as aerial vehicles, cars and consumer electronics. In article number 1600167, Xinhua Liu, Billy Wu, and co-workers use direct metal laser sintering to create 3D hierarchical scaffolds with high mechanical strength. Functionalisation with MnOx-PEDOT:PSS imparts the structure with pseduocapacitive properties and multi-scale x-ray tomography highlights how this approach improves device performance and lifetime.
