Abstract
Micro‐supercapacitors (MSCs) with excellent flexibility and high electrochemical performance are essential for portable and miniaturized electronics. In this paper, a laser etching technology with advantages of simple process, low cost, and high machining accuracy is used to directly etch the free‐standing MXene‐molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) film for MSC. As adding MoS2 in MXene effectively improves the electrochemical performance, such as a higher specific capacitance (about 60% higher than pure MXene). Eventually, the maximum specific capacitance of this MSC (based on the total volume of positive and negative electrodes) is 173.6 F cm−3 (1 mV s−1), and the maximum energy density and maximum power density are 15.5 mWh cm−3 and 0.97 W cm−3, respectively. In addition, the MSC also shows the excellent cycle stability and flexibility, e.g., after 6000 charge–discharge cycles and bending up to 150°, the capacitances of the MSC still retain about 98% and 89% of its initial capacitance, respectively. The laser‐etched MSC based on MXene‐MoS2 offers a new idea for future high‐performance micro energy storage devices.
