Preparation And Electrochemical Capacitance Of Spherical-Like Polypyrrole Doped With Heparin Sodium, Hong-Yu Mi, Xiao-Gang Zhang, Su-Dong Yang, Xiang-Guo Ye

Journal of Electrochemistry

Spherical-like polypyrrole with an average diameter of 100 nm as the electrode material for supercapacitor was prepared by a self-assembly process with heparin sodium salt as the dopant at-10 ℃.The morphology and electrochemical properties were characterized by transmission electron microscopy(TEM),cyclic voltammetry(CV),galvanostatic charge/discharge and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS) measurements.The results showed that the polypyrrole doped with heparin sodium salt exhibited good capacitive behavior.The specific capacitance of single electrode was up to 338 F/g at 3 mA/cm2.

Journal of Electrochemistry

In this work,the V2O5 cathode and graphite anode were assembled into non-symmetric electrochemical capacitors using 1.0 mol/L LiClO4 /(EC + DMC),1.0 mol/L LiPF6 /(EC + DEC + DMC),and 1.6mol/L Et4NBF4/AN as electrolyte,respectively.Charging and discharging tests,Cyclic Voltammetry and AC impedance methods were used to investigate the performance of the non-symmetric electrochemical capacitors.The results showed that the electrolyte 1.0 mol/L LiClO4/(EC+DMC)displayed better cycling performance and less resistance.At the current density of 500 mA/g,its specific energy reached 8.4 Wh/kg and the charge-discharge efficiency was 98%.
