The recent advancements in electrochemical energy storage performance, which are influenced by magnetic fields, have facilitated the expansion of supercapacitor research. This study investigates the impact of an external magnetic field on the ability of supercapacitors, using bismuth iron oxide (Bi 2 Fe 4 O 9 ) as the material, to store charge. When subjected to a magnetic field of 150 G at a current density of 1.5 A/g, the composite oxide has 791.1 Fg –1 specific capacitance. A magnetic field rearranges electrons and ions, increasing ion mobility at the electrode–electrolyte boundary. Moreover, we coated both sides of the ionic liquid-containing Nafion with manganese vanadium oxide (MnV 2 O 7 ) and magnetically improved Bi 2 Fe 4 O 9 to form an asymmetric solid-state supercapacitor. In order to complete the creation of a solid-state asymmetric supercapacitor, gold is applied to both sides of the Nafion membrane. Here, the Nafion membrane also serves as an electrolyte separator. At a current density of 5 mA/cm 2 or 0.8 A/g, the solid-state asymmetric supercapacitor exhibits remarkable specific capacity (225.9 mAhg –1 ), volumetric (21.4 Fcm –3 ), and areal (0.81 Fcm –2 ) capacitance. The device exhibits a specific power of 13750 Wkg –1 and a higher specific energy of 338.9 Whkg –1 . Moreover, the device capacitance remains at 87.1% even after 10,000 cycles.
