Biodegradable MoNx@Mo-foil electrodes for human-friendly supercapacitors

Abstract

With the advancement in the field of biomedical research, there is a growing demand for biodegradable electronic devices. Biodegradable supercapacitors (SCs) have emerged as an ideal solution for mitigating the risks associated with secondary surgeries, reducing patient discomfort, and promoting environmental sustainability. In this study, MoNx@Mo-foil was prepared as an active material for biodegradable supercapacitors through high-temperature and nitridation processes. The composite electrode exhibited superior electrochemical performance in both aqueous and solid-state electrolytes. In the case of the solid-state electrolyte, the MoNx@Mo-foil composite electrode-based device demonstrated excellent cycling stability and electrochemical performance. Additionally, the composite electrode exhibited rapid and complete biodegradability in a 3% H2O2 solution. Through detailed experimental analysis and performance testing, we verified the potential application of the MoNx@Mo-foil composite electrode in biodegradable supercapacitors. This work provides a new choice of degradable material for developing biomedical electronic devices.
