The polyaniline (PANI) powder with globular sponge-like morphology was prepared by chemical solution polymerization, and its morphology and chemical structure were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), respectively. The single electrode of electrochemical capacitor was made using the prepared PANI powder as active material and carbon paper as current collector. Electrochemical properties of PANI as a single electrode in 1 M HCl and 1 M H2SO4 electrolyte solution were tested by galvanostatic charge/discharge (GCD) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) techniques. It has been found that PANI has higher specific capacitance of 302.43 Fg(-1), higher specific energy of 54.44 Wh·kg(-1) at 0.5 Ag(-1), and higher working potential in 1 M HCl than those in 1 M H2SO4.
通过化学溶液聚合制备了具有球状海绵状形态的聚苯胺(PANI)粉末,并用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)分别对其形态和化学结构进行了表征。以制备的PANI粉末为活性材料、碳纸为集流体制作了电化学电容器的单电极。采用恒电流充放电(GCD)和循环伏安法(CV)技术测试了PANI作为单电极在1 M HCl和1 M H2SO4电解质溶液中的电化学性能。研究发现,PANI在1 M HCl中的比电容为302.43 Fg(-1),在0.5 Ag(-1)时比能量为54.44 Wh·kg(-1),工作电位比在1 M H2SO4中更高。
