Optimized Electroactive Polymer Supercapacitors

Abstract

This program was directed to the use of highly electroactive, conjugated polymers as the active redox materials in electrochemical supercapacitors. Such materials include electrochemically polymerizable dimethyl substituted poly(3,4-propylenedioxythiop hene) (PProDOT-Me2), poly(3,4-propylenedioxypyrrole) (PProDOP), poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) for Type I or Type II supercapacitors, along with donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) polymers which provide reductive states for Type Ill supercapacitors. In addition, we have evaluated several solution-processable as alkoxy substituted PProDOTs and PProDOT-PEDOT co-polymers.
