Recent progress in electric-field enhanced 3D graphene electrodes using laser scribing for in-plane microsupercapacitors

The increasing demand for miniature, flexible electronic devices have fueled the need for compact and high-performing energy storage solutions. Microsupercapacitors (mSCs) with reduced dimension and novel electrode design have gained prominence. This concept paper summarizes and views the recent advancements in mSCs with a focus on 3D graphene electrodes and their novel electrode design to increase energy performance of the devices. Especially, we focus on these 3D graphene structures fabricated using a laser-scribing method which offer an efficient, cost-effective approach for enhanced mSC performance. Further, this work delves into the vital link between the electrical field effect and geometrically engineered interdigitated electrodes, which is pivotal for maximizing the ion transport and mSC energy storage performance. The insights presented here are promising for meeting the power requirements of future miniature electronics. This concept aims to introduce design of 3D graphene structures using a laser-scribing method and to review electrochemical relationship between the electrical field effect and geometrically engineered interdigitated electrodes for development of cost-effective and high-performance microsupercapacitors. We believe that this concept reported here would be of significant interest to professionals working in high-performance flexible energy storage applications.image
