All Organic Supercapacitors as Alternatives to Lithium Batteries
Abstract
The objectives of this work are to demonstrate at the laboratory scale a supercapacitor composed of conductive polymers as the electrodes that are separated by an environmentally benign electrolyte such as acetonitrile and tetraethyl ammonium tritlate. The pertinent components of the capacitors must fit within the confines of a cylinder of 18 mm in diameter and 12.5 mm in height. Finally, the discharge properties of the capacitors must release a minimum of 0.2 J and maintain 0.02 W for a minimum of 10 s. These metrics are required for the potential application of these power sources in medium caliber munitions. ln addition, each component of the supercapacitors must not pose a risk to the environment.
