High-Voltage Polymers for High-Power Supercapacitors. Version 1
Abstract
New polymer supercapacitors were constructed from novel hybrid poly(triarylamines) with organic electrolytes. The new polymers contain benzyl or nitro functionalized aromatic side groups. In addition to the anilino segments, the polymer backbone contains either furanyl or thiophenyl linkages. These electronic and structural varieties provide polymers with a range or oxidation potentials. The nitro-furane derivative exhibits the highest oxidation potential and supercapacitors constructed with anodes or this polymer and organic electrolytes provide 20% more power and energy than the polythiophene derivatives studied previously. These results indicate that the supercapacitor performance can be significantly altered by varying pendent substituents and the polymer backbone.
