    摘要: Cord-yarn supercapacitors are disclosed herein. The cord-yarn supercapacitor can include two or more ply yarns twisted together and an electrolyte. The ply yarns can comprise an activated carbon fiber yarn and a non-activated carbon fiber yarn. The activated carbon fiber yarn can be derived from a staple yarn which has been carbonized and activated. The non-activated carbon fiber yarn can be derived from a multi filament yarn. The electrolyte can include a polymer gel. The cord-yarn supercapacitors disclosed herein provide a rope-format linear structure with great flexibility. This unique linear structure allows the supercapacitor to find use in applications such as apparel products, outdoor activity products, sports wears, and other industrial end uses. Methods of making cord-yarn supercapacitors are also disclosed.

    摘要: Cellulose materials and methods of making the cellulose materials are described herein. The method can include contacting a cotton fabric with an oxidizing system to obtain an oxidized cotton material and processing the oxidized cotton material to form the cellulose material. The oxidizing system can include an aqueous mixture of a N-oxyl compound and a hypochlorite compound. During oxidation, the pH of the aqueous mixture can be maintained at from 8.5 to 11. Cellulose products can be formed from the cellulose materials. For example, the cellulose products can be used to form a packaging material, a biomedical device or implant, a drug delivery material, a fiber, a textile material, a template for electronic components, or a separation membrane. Methods of making the cellulose product include dissolving or suspending an active ingredient in a medium comprising the cellulose material.

    摘要: Fabric supercapacitors are disclosed herein. The fabric supercapacitor can include an ion permeable separator layer having two opposed surfaces; two electrode layers disposed on the opposed surfaces of the ion permeable separator layer; and two conducting layers disposed on outer surfaces of the two electrode layers and opposite the ion permeable separator layer. The electrode layers can comprise an activated carbon fiber fabric. The activated carbon fiber fabric can be derived from a precursor fabric which has been carbonized, activated, and coated with an electrolyte. The electrolyte can include a polymer gel. The conducting layers can include a non-activated carbon fiber fabric. The fabric supercapacitors disclosed herein exhibit great flexibility which allows the supercapacitors to find use in applications such as apparel products, outdoor activity products, sports wears, and other industrial end uses. Methods of making fabric supercapacitors are also disclosed.
