Abstract
Supercapacitors offer long cycle life and high-power density for various applications. Phosphazene-based Covalent Organic Polymer (P-COP) is a popular electrode material due to its large surface area and pore structure. However, low conductivity and energy storage are practical constraints. To solve this problem, conducting polymer polyaniline (PANI) was incorporated via in-situ polymerization. The structure and characteristics of P-COP@PANI are described using SEM, TEM, XRD, TGA, XPS, BET, and electrochemical characterization methods like CV, GCD, and EIS. The specific capacitance of P-COP@PANI is 642 Fg⁻¹, which exhibited a maximum energy density of 43.7 Wh kg⁻¹ with a power density of 1050 W kg⁻¹ at a current density of 3 A g⁻¹ with the potential window 0 to 0.8 V. After 3000 cycles, it still kept 93.52 % of its capacity retention. The study emphasizes the necessity of incorporating P-COP into PANI to give high-performance supercapacitors, displaying better electrochemical qualities and creating the way for rational conceptualization of the future of energy storage materials.
超级电容器为各种应用提供长循环寿命和高功率密度。磷腈基共价有机聚合物(P-COP)因其具有较大的比表面积和孔隙结构而成为一种流行的电极材料。然而,低电导率和能量存储是实际的限制。为了解决这一问题,采用原位聚合法制备了导电聚合物聚苯胺(PANI)。利用SEM、TEM、XRD、TGA、XPS、BET以及CV、GCD、EIS等电化学表征方法对P-COP@PANI的结构和特性进行了表征。P-COP@PANI的比容为642 Fg -⁻¹,其最大能量密度为43.7 Wh - kg -⁻¹,在3 a - g的电流密度下,其功率密度为1050 W - kg -⁻¹,电位窗口为0到0.8 V。经过3000次循环后,其容量保持率仍为93.52%。该研究强调了将P-COP纳入聚苯胺的必要性,以获得高性能超级电容器,展示更好的电化学质量,并为未来储能材料的合理概念化创造道路。
