Facile Fabrication of Polyaniline/Graphene Composite Fibers as Electrodes for Fiber-Shaped Supercapacitors

Flexible fiber-shaped supercapacitors based on hierarchically nanostructured composite electrodes

Composite Electrodes for Electrochemical Supercapacitors

Manganese dioxide nanofibers with length ranged from 0.1 to 1 μm and a diameter of about 4-6 nm were prepared by a chemical precipitation method. Composite electrodes for electrochemical supercapacitors were fabricated by impregnation of the manganese dioxide nanofibers and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) into porous Ni plaque current collectors. Obtained composite electrodes, containing 8...

Facile fabrication of freestanding three-dimensional composites for supercapacitors.

A facile and highly efficient method for the fabrication of free-standing three-dimensional (3D) composites with different morphologies was designed by the combination of the electrospinning method and hydrothermal reaction. The controlled hierarchical nanoarrays showed excellent electrochemical performance for their potential use as supercapacitor electrodes.

Anodized Steel Electrodes for Supercapacitors.

Steel was anodized in 10 M NaOH to enhance its surface texture and internal surface area for application as an electrode in supercapacitors. A mechanism was proposed for the anodization process. Field-emission gun scanning electron microscopy (FEGSEM) studies of anodized steel revealed that it contains a highly porous sponge like structure ideal for supercapacitor electrodes. X-ray photoelectro...

Facile fabrication of light, flexible and multifunctional graphene fibers.

Macroscopic graphene fibers with strength comparable to carbon nanotube yarns have been fabricated with a facile dimensionally-confined hydrothermal strategy from low-cost, aqueous graphite oxide suspensions, which is shapable, weavable, and has a density of less than 1/7 conventional carbon fibers. In combination with the easy in situ and post-synthesis functionalization, the highly flexible g...
