DOI: 10.1002/adma. 201503333 device is determined by its capacitance and working voltage (E= CV2/2),[20] further improvement of its energy storage relies on enhancing either of these parameters. To increase device capacitance, pseudocapacitive materials, such as transition metal oxides [10, 12, 21–23] and electrically conductive polymers,[24, 25] are loaded onto the electrodes to provide pseudocapacitance from surface redox reactions. However, this fabrication strategy is limited by either high-cost patterning processes or harsh synthetic conditions, slowing deployment in commodity electronic devices. Alternatively, organic electrolytes are used for their higher working voltage, resulting in further improvement in energy storage.[26] However, safety issues, complex fabrication processes, and strict conditions for the use of organic electrolytes have limited their widespread application.[26] An alternative approach is to make asymmetric MSCs without using an organic electrolyte.[27]Recently, our group developed a simple and scalable method to prepare patterned porous graphene on a polyimide (PI) substrate by laser-writing patterns in air, and the resulting laserinduced graphene (LIG) showed its promising applications in miniaturized energy storage devices.[28–30] Here, we combine the laser induction process with subsequent electrodeposition of pseudocapacitive materials for the fabrication of all-solidstate, flexible symmetric and asymmetric MSC devices that show greatly improved electrochemical performance. A CO 2 laser is first used to convert the PI into porous LIG with an interdigitated architecture, which works not only as EDLC electrodes but also as a flexible and conductive matrix for the electrodeposition of pseudocapacitive materials. Two types of pseudocapacitive materials, manganese dioxide (MnO 2) or ferric oxyhydroxide (FeOOH), and polyaniline (PANI), representing characteristic transition metal oxides and conductive polymers, are electrodeposited onto the LIG forming LIG–MnO 2, LIG–FeOOH, and LIG–PANI composites. They are then assembled into all-solid-state flexible symmetric LIG–MnO 2–MSCs and LIG–PANI–MSCs, and asymmetric MSCs using LIG–FeOOH as a negative electrode and LIG–MnO 2 as a positive electrode (LIG–FeOOH//LIG–MnO 2) that are free of current collectors, binders, and separators due to the well-defined patterns that avoid short circuiting the electrodes. All of these devices demonstrate comparable energy densities to microbatteries without sacrificing their good rate performance, cycling stability, and mechanical flexibility.
