Abstract

Supercapacitors represent an attractive alternative for portable electronics and automotive applications due to their high capacitance, specific power and extended life. In fact, the growing demand of portable systems and hybrid electric vehicles, memory protection in complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS), logic circuit, videocassette recorders (VCRs), compact disc (CD) players, personal computers (PCs), uninterruptible power supply (UPS) in security alarm systems, remote sensing, smoke detectors, etc. require high power in short-term pulses. Therefore, in the last 20 years, supercapacitors have been required for the development of large and small devices driven by electrical power. In this paper, graphene oxide (GO) was synthesized by improved Hummers method. Two polyaniline (PANI)/graphene oxide nanocomposites electrode materials were prepared from aniline, GO and ammoniumpersulfate (APS) by in situ chemical polymerization with the mass ratios (mGO:mAniline) 10:90 and 30: 70 in ice bath. The crystal structure and the surface topography of all materials were characterized by means of x-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The electrochemical properties of the composites were evaluated by cyclic voltammetry (CV), charge–discharge measurements and electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), respectively. The results show that the composites have similar and enhanced cyclic voltammetry performance compared with pure PANI based electrode material. The graphene/PANI composite synthesized with the mass ratio (mANI:mGO) 90:10 possessed good capacitive behavior with a specific capacitance as high as 1509.35 F/g at scan rate of 1 mV/s in scanning potential window from −0.8 V to 0.8 V.
