Composite Material for Supercapacitors Formed by Polymerization of Aniline in the Presence of Graphene Oxide Nanosheets
Last modified: 2012-08-17
Abstract
The composite material was obtained by the polymerization of aniline in the presence of graphene oxide nanosheets (GONS). The resulting composite PANi (72%) - GONS (28%) was investigated by methods such as XPS, TGA, Raman and IR spectroscopy, and so on. It was established that a partial reduction of graphene oxide takes part in course of the polymerization. Specific capacitance of the PANi-GONS electrode in 1M H2SO4, corresponding to its discharge from 0.700 to 0.052 V, was found to be 547 F/g. But, if in the calculation of the capacitance include a shallow part of the discharge curve (below 0.15 V), one can obtain the value of specific capacity greater than 1200 F/g.
