For practical supercapacitors, recent advances in electrolytes have diminished long-standing problems such chemical stability, low ionic conductivity and limited electrochemical performance. Herewith, we communicate a facile method to produce anhydrous redox-active Bio-inspired electrolytes for flexible supercapacitors with application over a broad temperature range. The glycerol (Gly) gel electrolyte consists of various fractions of potassium hydroxide (KOH) and redox active unit, i.e., ammonium molybdate, (NH₄)₂MoO₄ (abbreviated as Mo), in the anhydrous state. The doped glycerol matrix acts as a framework that provides a stable gel electrolyte, forming hierarchical pathway for ion diffusion. The developed gel network with Gly-KOH-MoX (X = 3, 5, 10, and 15%, w/w) provides an effective route to carry the ions onto the pores of the electrodes. The supercapacitor with Gly-KOH5-Mo10 gel provides a specific capacitance of 328 F g^–1, and the same device achieved an energy density of 45.6 Wh kg^–1 at a power density of 497 W kg^–1. In addition, the supercapacitor maintained extraordinary cyclic robustness and wide temperature tolerance. Thus, the low cost and environmentally benign, cyclic durability of Gly-KOH-Mo makes these gel electrolytes a potential candidate for use in various energy storage devices.
