characteristics of electrode materials directly determine the electrochemical behavior of the electrochemical active materials in the electrochemical process. In general, when a potential is applied to an energy storage device, the electrochemical behavior of the electrode process will be influenced by three factors 7-9:
i) migration and diffusion of ions in the electrolyte close to the electrode interface,
ii) electrochemical reactions of electrolyte ions with the electrode surface involving (ad/de)sorption or reversible oxidation-reduction reactions, and iii) carrying charge efficiently across the electrode (conductivity).

electrode materials to the nanoscale 13 have been widely used to modify the electrode materials and obtain high conductivity, enhance the specific surface area, and optimize the pore structure to effectively improve the electrolyte ions dynamics and charge transfer during rapid charging and discharging processes. Nevertheless, the actual capacity of structurally optimized materials is invariably still much less than their theoretical capacity
14,15.
In principal, fast and efficient diffusion of electrolyte
ions in the near-interface region should be the first and key step of a whole electrode process, which largely determines the accompanying electrochemical performance. The efficiency of migration and diffusion of electrolyte ions depends on the surface structure and properties of electrode materials. Herein, we define “electrolyte-philic electrode materials” as electrode materials with advanced surface structure and architecture that effectively wet electrolyte and promote (ad/de)sorption of electrolyte ions. Scientists have noticed the importance of electrode surface wetting properties on performance when submersed in electrolyte, which prompted them to construct electrode materials with functional surfaces
16-18.
Previous reports indicate the
incorporation of heterogeneous atoms of N, O and P, or grafting surface oxygenous groups such as hydroxyl (-OH) and carboxyl group (-COOH) resulted in enhancement of electrode surface wettability, with a concomitant improvement in electrode performance
19-21.
However, these approaches only addressed surface structure at the
(near) atomic scale, which is limited in effectiveness. Significantly, it also should be noted that these kinds of functional surfaces would raise oxidation and reduction

Herein, we reported a novel “electrolyte-philic electrode material (EEM)” involving interconnected hierarchically porous carbon (IHPC) and grafted electrolyte-philic polymer brushes. IHPC was used as an essential electrode material because of their outstanding structural features such as interconnected pore structure, highly developed porosity. Moreover, its pore systems can be well controlled. The polymer brush was grafted by the surface initiated electrochemical mediated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-eATRP), through which the polymer chain architecture can be tailored

The schematic illustration and morphology for EEM-g-Polymer is
illustrated in Figure 1. Note that no pseudo-capacitor was introduced and the surface architecture can be designed for different goals by varying the type of polymer used.

2. Results and Discussions The carbon substrate of IHPC was fabricated by a method involving high concentrated internal phase emulsion polymerization and heat-treatment. As shown in Figure S1a in the Supporting Information, the SEM image of IHPC exhibited obvious interconnected pore structure and highly developed porosity. And it is worth noting that the basic morphology of IHPC did not change after grafting the polymer brushes (EEM-g-Polymer) (Figure 1). In addition, the pore structure parameters of all samples are shown in Table S1 in the Supporting Information, the specific surface area (SBET), total pore volumes (Vtotal), micropores volumes (Vmic), mesopores and macropores volumes (Vmes+mac) of all samples were calculated to be almost consistent, further proved that the morphology of the EEM-g-Polymer did not change and the porous structure was not blocked after grafting the polymer brush compared to that of IHPC, which was important for the charge-discharge process. The TEM image of IHPC has been tested and shown in Figure S1b in the Supporting Information, One can find that a micro-mesoporous structure with the uniform pore size.In addition, Figure S1c in the Supporting Information shows the related energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) of IHPC, and the C and O elements were distributed in the IHPC material. And the XPS spectrum of IHPC is shown in Figure S2a in the Supporting Information.The full XPS spectrum exhibits that the carbon materials contain C and O elements, further confirming the results from the EDS measurements; and Figure S2b in the Supporting Information shows the curve fitting of C 1s core level peak of the XPS spectrum, which has two new peaks at 285.4 and 286.4 eV attributed to C-C and

As shown in Figure S3 in the Supporting Information, the pore systems of the all samples were characterized by the nitrogen adsorption-desorption experiments, and the result of all samples were similar. The curves presented standard type IV N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms with close to Y-axis at low relative pressures (0.0< P/P0 K+ >Na+ >OH- >H+. And the fitted parameters for EIS are shown in Table S4 in the Supporting Information, which was the same order as of the ions size. The data revealed smaller Rs, Rct and Rw values in 2M KOH electrolyte, indicating the excellent electrochemical performance of the electrodes. The rate capacitances of EEM-g-PVP and EEM-g-PSSNa remained about 75% and 65% of the initial specific capacitances in a variety of aqueous electrolyte solutions (Figure S9 in the Supporting Information).

Two asymmetric supercapacitors (ASC) were assembled with Ni(OH)2 and EEM-g-PVP (or EEM-g-PSSNa ) electrode acted as the positive and negative electrodes, respectively. The polarization range of the voltammetry was changed after being prepared into an asymmetric supercapacitor, using 2M KOH aqueous as electrolyte. The potential window of Ni(OH)2 ranged from -0.2 to 0.6 V, which matched well to that of EEM-g-PVP (or EEM-g-PSSNa ) electrode ranged from -1.0 to 0 V. The EEM-g-PVP (or EEM-g-PSSNa) electrode and Ni(OH)2 electrode were tested at a scan rate of 5 mV/s at the potential window ranging from -1.0 to 0 V, and -0.2 to 0.6 V, respectively, as shown in Figure S10a and S10c in the Supporting Information. As such, the Ni(OH)2||EEM-g-PVP and Ni(OH)2||EEM-g-PSSNa ASC can be operated up to 1.4 V without obvious increase of anodic current (Figure S10b and S10d in the Supporting Information). The electrochemical performance of Ni(OH)2||EEM-g-PVP and Ni(OH)2||EEM-g-PSSNa ASC devices were measured in 2M KOH aqueous solution as electrolyte. CV curves of the two devices at scanning rates from 5 to 50 mV/s (Figure 6a and 6d) showed broad oxidation and reduction humps, indicating the pseudo-capacitance properties corresponding to the redox reactions on Ni(OH)2 surface, and the shape of CV curves has no obvious change at different scan rates,which represented an ideal capacitive behavior. The GCD curves of two devices at different current densities from 0.5 to 30 A/g showed non-linear

Electrochemical measurements suggest that the EEM-g-Polymer possesses higher capacity, almost 3 times larger than that of pristine IHPC. The selectivity and responsiveness of polymer brush can be tailored towards electrolyte ions as demonstrated with different polymer brush chemistries that were grafted on the substrate material to accommodate different

of
Ni(OH)2||EEM-g-PVP (or Ni(OH)2||EEM-g-PSSNa) exhibited a maximum energy density of 27.8 Wh/kg (or 27.5 Wh/kg) at the power density of 351 W/kg (or 314 W/kg), and the capacitance retention was 70.0% (or 65.0%) of the initial one after 10000 cycles. Moreover, polymer brushes can be grafted to different active material substrates, including various carbon allotropes and transition metal oxide/nitride (e.g., NiO and VN). The fundamental understanding of this research provides guidelines for the future design of hierarchically-defined electrode materials with electrolyte-philic surfaces. 4.

Galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD) were tested at the different current densities from 1.0 to 5.0 A/g within the same potential range as in CV measurements. Electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS) were acquired with a frequency range from10-2 to 105 Hz.
