The nano-biocomposite electrodes composed of carbon nanotube (CNT), polypyrrole (PPy), and -bacteria were investigated for electrochemical supercapacitors. For this purpose, PPy/CNT- was successfully synthesized through oxidative polymerization. The PPy/CNT- electrode exhibited a high specific capacitance of 173 F∙g at the current density of 0.2 A∙g, which is much higher than that (37 F∙g) of CNT. Furthermore, it displayed sufficient stability after 1000 charge/discharge cycles. The CNT, PPy/CNT, and PPy/CNT- composites were characterized by x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and surface analyzer (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, BET). In particular, the pyrrole monomers were easily adsorbed and polymerized on the surface of CNT materials, as well as bacteria enhanced the surface area and porous structure of the PPy/CNT- composite electrode resulting in high performance of devices.
研究了由碳纳米管（CNT）、聚吡咯（PPy）和细菌组成的纳米生物复合电极用于电化学超级电容器。为此，通过氧化聚合成功合成了PPy/CNT-。PPy/CNT-电极在电流密度为0.2 A∙g时表现出173 F∙g的高比电容，远高于CNT的比电容（37 F∙g）。此外，在1000次充放电循环后它显示出足够的稳定性。通过X射线衍射、扫描电子显微镜和表面分析仪（Brunauer-Emmett-Teller，BET）对CNT、PPy/CNT和PPy/CNT-复合材料进行了表征。特别地，吡咯单体易于吸附并聚合在CNT材料表面，而且细菌增强了PPy/CNT-复合电极的表面积和多孔结构，从而使器件具有高性能。
