“…This enables integration of the energy storage capability and of the target function at materials level [20] . Pseudocapacitive polymers, like poly(pyrrole), poly(3,4ethylenedioxythiophene), poly(3-alkylthiophenes) and poly(aniline), have specific mechanical, optical and electronic properties that are exploited in actuators, electrochromic devices, and sensors [21] , [22] . Metal oxides are also used as mediators for electrocatalytic processes (e.g.…”

Supercapacitors (SCs) are playing a key role for the development of self-powered and self-sustaining integrated systems for different fields ranging from remote sensing, robotics and medical devices. SC miniaturization and integration into more complex systems that include energy harvesters and functional devices are valuable strategies that address system autonomy. Here, we discuss about novel SC fabrication and integration approaches. Specifically, we report about the results of interdisciplinary activities on the development of thin, flexible SCs by an additive technology based on Supersonic Cluster Beam Deposition (SCBD) to be implemented into supercapacitive electrolyte gated transistors and supercapacitive microbial fuel cells. Such systems integrate at materials level the specific functions of devices, like electric switch or energy harvesting with the reversible energy storage capability. These studies might open new frontiers for the development and application of new multifunction-energy storage elements.
