The development of portable electronic devices drives the increasing demand for electrochemical energy storage with high energy density. Among various energy storage devices, supercapacitors provide a promising solution to fast charging and discharging.

Normally, supercapacitors work with liquid or solid electrolytes. Here, we present a non-toxic, environmentally friendly and cost-effective capacitor that works in gaseous atmosphere, such as water vapor. Unlike traditional parallel double plate capacitors, an interdigitated capacitor structure is employed. The active material, i.e., β-FeSi2 nanoparticles are spin-coated onto the gold interdigitated structure, which is lithographically defined on SiO2 substrate.

Compared to the bare electrodes without β-FeSi2 nanoparticles, the β-FeSi2 nanoparticles-coated capacitor exhibits an up to 3−4 orders of magnitude increased capacitance. Also, the capacitance of β-FeSi2 capacitor that runs under dry air is negligible, compared with a capacitor that is operated in humid atmosphere. In this work, the charging and discharging mechanism is studied with cyclic voltammetry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and capacitance-voltage measurement. Also, the possibility of working under other gaseous atmosphere, such as acetone, is explored.
