In this report, a highly flexible, conducting, and cheap substrate is prepared by simple stick and peel-off method involving Scotch tape and Grafoil. A Grafoil-Scotch tape derived flexible substrate exhibits a sheet resistance of 7 Omega square(-1) along with a high degree of flexibility and durability. Moreover, its properties are further enhanced by the anodization in order to increase the hydrophilicity and surface area. The substrate is highly thin with a thickness of just 74 mu m. Its practical utility has been demonstrated by electrodepositing MnO2 as an active material and, thereafter, fabricating a solid-state flexible supercapacitor. The fabricated device exhibits high capacitance retention under bent (99%) and twisted (98%) conditions along with a low ESR of 7 Omega.</p>1 aSoni, Roby1 aRaveendran, Alka1 aKurungot, Sreekumar  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/grafoil-scotch-tape-derived-highly-conducting-flexible-substrate-and-its-application
