Niobium Tungsten Oxide in a Green Water-in-Salt Electrolyte Enables Ultra-Stable Aqueous Lithium-Ion Capacitors.

ABSTRACT: Aqueous hybrid supercapacitors are attracting increasing attention due to their potential low cost, high safety and eco-friendliness. However, the narrow operating potential window of aqueous electrolyte and the lack of suitable negative electrode materials seriously hinder its future applications. Here, we explore high concentrated lithium acetate with high ionic conductivity of 65.5 mS cm^-1 as a green "water-in-salt" electrolyte, providing wide voltage window up to 2.8 V. It facilitates the reversible function of niobium tungsten oxide, Nb₁₈W₁₆O₉₃, that otherwise only operations in organic electrolytes previously. The Nb₁₈W₁₆O₉₃ with lithium-ion intercalation pseudocapacitive behavior exhibits excellent rate per
