Hydrocarbon-Derived Prenetworked Carbon Nano-Onions for Wearable and Flexible Printed Microsupercapacitors.

ABSTRACT: Carbon nanomaterials have emerged as a promising solution for printed electronics, especially in microsupercapacitor (MSC) applications. This study examines the significance and compatibility of a newly developed industrial carbon nanomaterial derived from hydrocarbon streams via a scalable, catalyst-free process in a proprietary reactor. The carbon nanomaterials exhibit a unique morphology, characterized by nanoscale building blocks forming microscale networks, enhancing printed flexible electronics' efficiency. Here, we utilize carbon nano-onions (CNOs) as an electrode material for MSCs. In addition to CNOs' unique networked structure, high electrical conductivity, and large surface area make CNOs ideal for next-generation printed MSCs. The printed MSCs operate efficiently without metal
