Flexible fiber-shaped supercapacitors (FSSCs) are promising candidates as electrode materials for the development of deformable electronic devices. Although tremendous efforts have been focused on the preparation of flexible electrode materials, traditional FSSCs materials face problems of inferior stability and complicated processes. Boron-doped diamond (BDD) holds promise as a FSSC electrode, owing to its well-established preparation process, strong acid and alkali corrosion resistance, environmentally and skin-friendly characteristics. Here, we reported a novel strategy for the construction of BDD-based FSSCs by growing a BDD film on a flexible tantalum (Ta) fiber substrate through hot filament chemical vapor deposition technique. Results showed that the BDD fiber film featured 10 folds improvement in specific capacitance than a planar BDD electrode. A symmetric supercapacitor device was assembled using the BDD fiber electrode and achieved an energy density of 25.6 mJ cm⁻² at a power density of 0.6 mW cm⁻², and a desirable stability with higher capacitance retention of 93.5% after 20,000 cycles. Furthermore, the symmetric BDD fiber device exhibited satisfactory bendability with high specific capacitance retention under various bending deformations. The findings in this research work hold promise for the fabrication of high performance flexible FSSCs.
