Abstract Scope |
This study focuses on the energy storage potency of chemically polymerized polyaniline. The electrochemical properties of this polymer strongly depends on the oxidizing agent used for its synthesis. In this study, varying mole ratios of ammonium persulfate (APS) – the oxidizing agent will be added to aniline monomer. Structural and morphological characterizations such as X-Ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) will be conducted on synthesized samples. The electrochemical analysis will be done with a three-electrode system to perform cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). A successful study will determine the best oxidizing agent-to-aniline ratio that can be used to achieve optimum electrochemical properties for supercapacitor electrodes. |
