AbstractSupercapacitors are now attracting much attention as an electric vehicle power source. The present study focuses on redox supercapacitors with electronically conducting polymers as electrode materials. Performance data of a symmetric supercapacitor based on p-doped poly(pyrrole), of an unsymmetric supercapacitor based on p-doped poly(pyrrole) and poly(3-methylthiophene), and of a symmetric sypercapacitor based on p- and n-doped poly(dithieno[3,4-b:3',4'-d]thiophene) are here compared.

In recent years, extensive investigations have focused on the study and improvement of supercapacitor electrode materials. The electric devices produced with these materials are used to store energy over time periods ranging from seconds to several days. The main factor that determines the energy storage period of a supercapacitor is its self-discharge rate, i.e., the gradual decrease in electric potential that occurs when the supercapacitor terminals are not connected to either a charging circuit or electric load. Self-discharge is attenuated at lower temperatures, resulting in an increased energy storage period. This paper addresses the temperature-dependence of self-discharge via a systematic study of supercapacitors with nominal capacitances of 1.0 and 10.0 F at DC potentials of 5.5 and 2.7 V, respectively. The specific capacitances, internal resistances, and self-discharge characteristics of commercial activated carbon electrode supercapacitors were investigated. Using cyclic voltammetry, the specific capacitances were determined to be 44.4 and 66.7 Fg−1 for distinct carbon electrode supercapacitors. The self-discharge characteristics were investigated at both room temperature and close to the freezing point. The internal resistances of the supercapacitors were calculated using the discharge curves at room temperature. The microstructures of the electrode materials were determined using scanning electron microscopy.

Carbon electrode materials for double layer capacitors have attracted much attention, due to their low cost and abundant sources. Their low specific capacitance, however, hinders the development of carbon electrode materials. In this paper, the large specific surface area commercial activated carbons, rich in micropores, were initially oxygen-functionalized by treatment using concentrated H2SO4, saturated (NH4)2S2O8, and H2SO4/(NH4)2S2O4 mixed oxidants, respectively. The as-prepared samples were analyzed using N2 adsorption/desorption isotherms, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Boehm titration, and used as electrode materials for supercapacitors. Characterization results displayed that the oxidation treatment decreased the specific surface area along with increasing oxygen content. The electrode test showed that the electrochemical activity increased as oxygen content increased. The result that oxygen-functionalized activated carbon, even with a lower specific surface area but much more oxygen content, had higher capacity than pristine activated carbon, tells of the critical role of oxygen functional groups. The excellent capacitive performance suggests a good potential for oxygen functional carbon material to be a highly promising electrode material for supercapacitors.
