A Wire-Shaped Supercapacitor in Micrometer Size Based on Fe₃O₄ Nanosheet Arrays on Fe Wire.

ABSTRACT: One-dimensional (1D, wire- and fiber-shaped) supercapacitors have recently attracted interest due to their roll-up, micrometer size and potential applications in portable or wearable electronics. Herein, a 1D wire-shaped electrode was developed based on Fe₃O₄ nanosheet arrays connected on the Fe wire, which was prepared via oxidation of Fe wire in 0.1 M KCl solution (pH 3) with O₂-rich environment under 70 °C. The obtained Fe₃O₄ nanosheet arrays displayed a high specific capacitance (20.8 mF cm^-1 at 10 mV s^-1) and long cycling lifespan (91.7% retention after 2500 cycles). The excellent performance may attribute to the connected nanosheet structure with abundant open spaces and the intimate contact between the Fe
