Abstract
A heat-resistant semi-aromatic polyamide PA6T separator was successfully fabricated via non-solvent induced phase inversion using concentrated sulfuric acid as the solvent, demonstrating significant potential for supercapacitor applications. Optimized fabrication conditions-a 50:50 Na2SO4/glycerol coagulation bath and a 7 % PA6T/5% glycerol casting solution-yielded a thermally robust separator with zero shrinkage at 170 °C after 60 min. The PA6T-7 % separator demonstrated exceptional electrochemical properties: 10.4 mS/cm ionic conductivity, 240.1F/g specific capacitance at 0.1 A/g, and 86.2 % capacitance retention at 5 A/g. It maintained 97.8 % capacitance over 1,000 cycles at 0.5 A/g, supported by its optimized porous structure (91.3 % porosity, 45.7° contact angle, 70.4 % electrolyte uptake). Combining thermal resilience, facile processing, and stable charge storage, this material shows great potential as a next-generation separator for high-power energy storage systems.
期刊介绍:
The journal provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies and reviews related to the electronic, electrochemical, ionic, magnetic, optical, and biosensing properties of solid state materials in bulk, thin film and particulate forms. Papers dealing with synthesis, processing, characterization, structure, physical properties and computational aspects of nano-crystalline, crystalline, amorphous and glassy forms of ceramics, semiconductors, layered insertion compounds, low-dimensional compounds and systems, fast-ion conductors, polymers and dielectrics are viewed as suitable for publication. Articles focused on nano-structured aspects of these advanced solid-state materials will also be considered suitable.
