Resumen:	The facile and economical electrochemical and successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) methods have been employed in order to prepare manganese oxide (MnO₂) and iron oxide (Fe₂O₃) thin films, respectively with the fine optimized nanostructures on highly flexible stainless steel sheet. The symmetric and asymmetric flexible-solid-state supercapacitors (FSS-SCs) of nanostructured (nanosheets for MnO₂ and nanoparticles for Fe₂O₃) electrodes with Na₂SO₄/Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) gel as a separator and electrolyte were assembled. MnO₂ as positive and negative electrodes were used to fabricate symmetric SC, while the asymmetric SC was assembled by employing MnO₂ as positive and Fe₂O₃ as negative electrode. Furthermore, the electrochemical features of symmetric and asymmetric SCs are systematically investigated. The results verify that the fabricated symmetric and asymmetric FSS-SCs present excellent reversibility (within the voltage window of 0-1 V and 0-2 V, respectively) and good cycling stability (83 and 91%, respectively for 3000 of CV cycles). Additionally, the asymmetric SC shows maximum specific capacitance of 92 Fg⁻¹, about 2-fold of higher energy density (41. 8 Wh kg⁻¹) than symmetric SC and excellent mechanical flexibility. Furthermore, the "real-life" demonstration of fabricated SCs to the panel of SUK confirms that asymmetric SC has 2-fold higher energy density compare to symmetric SC.
