Miniaturized and flexible power resources such as supercapacitors with resistance of high voltage play a critical role as potential energy storage devices for implantable and portable electronics because of their convenience, high power density, and long-term stability. Herein, we propose a novel strategy for the fabrication of high voltage microsupercapacitors (HVMSCs) employing porous laser-induced graphene (from polyimide films with alkalization treatment) followed by laser carving of the polyvinyl alcohol/H 3 PO 4 gel electrolyte to realize a series assembly of supercapacitors and significantly increase the voltage resistance. The results elucidated that HVMSCs (3 mm × 21.15 mm) exhibited excellent capacitive performance including exceptional potential window (10 V), high areal capacitance (244 μF/cm 2 ), acceptable power density (274 μW/cm 2 ) and energy density (3.22 μW h/cm 2 ), good electrochemical stability and flexibility at different bending status (0, 45, 90, 135, and 180°), as well as impressive voltage durability more than 5 V in smaller scale (0.5 mm × 5.5 mm). As such, the HVMSCs have great potential to be integrated with microcircuit modules for the next-generation self-powered systems and storage electronic devices in high voltage applications.
Currently, laser-driven lighting based on phosphor-in-glass (PIG) has drawn much interest in solid state lighting due to its high electro-optical efficiency and high-power density. However, the fabrication of PIG requires expensive equipment, long sintering time, and high cost. In this work, we utilized a simple, fast, and high temperature Joule heating process to make phosphor-in-glass bulk sintered in less than 20 s, which greatly improved the production efficiency. The PIG converters sintered under different sintering temperatures were investigated experimentally. The optimized PIG converter exhibited high and robust luminous efficacy (164.24 lm/W), a high radiant flux, and a small CCT deviation at 3.00 W. Moreover, the optimized sample also showed high temperature resistance at 3.00 W, robust temperature management during normal working. These results indicated that the optimized PIG converter sintered by the Joule heating process could offer great potential for the application in high-power laser-driven white lighting.
