A facile scalable strategy is reported for the synthesis of a hybrid of lithium titanate (Li4Ti5O12 or LTO) and 1-pyrenecarboxylic acid decorated multiwalled carbon nanotubes ([email protected]). LTO platelets comprising of quasi-spherical nanoparticles afford short diffusion paths for electrolyte ions. [email protected], enhance the electrical conductivity of the nearly insulating LTO by 3 orders of magnitude, thus maximizing the ion-uptake capability of the hybrid. Symmetric and asymmetric supercapacitors with the LTO/[email protected] hybrid supported over Ni foam substrates are assembled with a novel Li+ conducting alginate gel, in air without any inert conditions that are typically used for all LTO based devices. The gel shows an average ionic conductivity of ∼8.4 mS cm−1 at room temperature, and is found to be electrochemically stable over a wide operational voltage window of ∼2.5 V. Benefitting from the synergy of electrical double layer (EDL) storage afforded by [email protected], ion-storage by LTO through a redox reaction and EDL, and the ease ion-movement across the cell due to the open architecture of CNTs, the asymmetric LTO/[email protected] hybrid cell outperforms the symmetric cells by a large margin. The best areal specific capacitance (SC), volumetric SC and energy density are ∼54 mF cm−2, ∼4.3 F cm−3 (at 0.5 mA cm−2) and ∼3.7 mWh cm−3 (at a power density of 49.6 mW cm−3) significantly enhanced for the asymmetric LTO/[email protected] hybrid cell, compared to the symmetric- [email protected] and hybrid cells. The design is simple to implement and can serve as a prototype to develop a range of yet unexplored LTO/carbon nanomaterial based supercapacitors.
