Abstract

2,2′-bipyridine has been significantly focused by researchers because of its electrical conductivity, chelating properties and ability to affect the color and electrochemical properties of the materials. In present work, 2,2′-bipyridine:polypyrrole (C10H8N2:PPy) hybrid flexible electrodes (HFE) have been fabricated by successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction technique using 0.1 M solution of pyrrole (Py) acidified with 0.1 M HClO4 and 30 wt% H2O2 at 366.15 K. XRD pattern of the HFE exhibits characteristic broad peak at 2θ angles 22.35° and 23.09° as well as at 27ο are indicating the formation of bipyridine as well as PPy respectively. The characteristic peak at 1559 cm−1 in the FTIR spectrum is due to pyrrole ring vibrations confirms the formation of PPy. The SEM image of HFE with 30 s dipping time each in pyrrole and H2O2, depicts flesh like morphology with interconnected globules. The contact angle ~ 10° indicate hydrophilic nature of HFE. Cyclic voltammetric (CV) analysis and galvanostatic charge discharge (GCD) have been carried out in 0.5 M H2SO4. The CV curves represent the symmetric and reversible nature at lower scan rate which becomes quasi irreversible and asymmetric at higher scan rates. The observed maximum specific capacitance was 281.49 F/g at 5 mV/s which is nearly same as given by GCD which was 209 F/g at 1 mA/cm2. These HFE are useful for high energy supercapacitors and battery applications.
