Abstract [en]

The rapid development of emerging electronics requires power sources with the advantages of lightweight, high efficiency, and portability. Considering the use of critical raw materials (such as Li, Co, etc.) and the increasing global concern of battery waste, self-charging power systems (SCPSs) integrating energy harvesting, power management, and energy storage devices have been envisioned as promising solutions to replace traditional batteries to avoid the use of toxic materials and the need of frequent recharging/replacement. Up to date, the reported SCPSs still hold the problem of large form factor, unscalable fabrication, noble materials, and material complexity. In our work, a highly stable and eco-friendly organic conductive ink based on poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) has been developed for monolithic fabrication on-paper SCPSs almost fully through a simple direct ink writing (DIW) process. The ink possesses multiple functions and enables to directly print almost all the key components in the SCPSs, including electrodes for triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs, mechanical energy harvesters), electrodes for micro-supercapacitors (MSCs, energy storage devices), and interconnects, on the same paper substrate in a monolithic manner without the need for “post-integration”. The monolithic printing process exhibits excellent upscaling capability for manufacturing. In particular, the direct patterning merit of the DIW process offers great flexibility in optimizing the system performance through adjusting the cell number, electrode dimension, and thickness of the MSC arrays. By adjusting the cell numbers, the MSC arrays attain high-rate capability up to 50 V/s to match the pulsing electricity produced from the TENGs. For small-size printed SCPSs (~ 2 cm × 3 cm ×1 mm), after continuous press and release of the TENGs for ~79000 cycles, the 3-cell series-connected MSC array can be charged to 1.6 V while 6-cell array to 3.0 V. For a larger-size printed SCPS with 30 MSC cells (~ 7.5 cm × 5 cm ×0.5 mm), after charging through pressing/releasing for 10 min (nearly 1200 cycles), it can light up a LED (~ 4 W) for 5 s. The demo of successfully powering an LED device exhibited its great potential for powering various electronics. The monolithically fabricated on-paper SCPSs have great potential to serve as lightweight, thin, sustainable, eco-friendly, and low-cost power supplies for emerging electronics.
