The challenge to the use of electronically conducting polymers as electrode active materials in supercapacitors is outperform high-power, double-layer carbon (DLCSs). present study demonstrates that a hybrid supercapacitor with p-doped poly(3-methylthiophene) (pMeT) positive and an activated negative outperforms specific power DLCSs without reduction energy while maintaining good performance cyclability over 10,000 cycles. Impedance spectra data galvanostatic charge-discharge cycles C//pMeT...
This paper presents the work carried out within a European Union (EU) project which led to development of 3 V and 1.5 kF preseries supercapacitor modules 2 kW stacks based on hybrid cells with poly(3-methylthiophene) as positive electrode activated carbon negative propylene carbonate-tetraethylammonium tetrafluoroborate electrolyte. These prototypes, display concept cell operating high-surface-area conventional electronically conducting polymer, both commercially available, nontoxic...
The electrochemical properties of polymer electrolytes based on polyethylene oxide (PEO) and , with without the addition dispersed powder, are reported. results clearly indicate that use ceramic filler combined salt greatly reduces crystallization rate enhances lithium/electrolyte interface stability.
Several types of lithium ion conducting polymer electrolytes have been synthesized by hot‐pressing homogeneous mixtures the components, namely, poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) as matrix, trifluoromethane sulfonate , and tetrafluoborate respectively, salt, gamma‐aluminate a ceramic filler. This preparation procedure avoids any step including liquids so that plasticizer‐free, composite can be obtained. These electrolyte enhanced electrochemical properties, such an ionic conductivity order at...
We have synthesized thienylene- and phenylene-based oligomers displaying solid-state photoluminescence efficiencies up to 70% frequencies which cover the entire visible range. All compounds contain one central nonaromatic thienyl-1,1-dioxide moiety in main chain. The tuning of light-emission frequency was achieved by progressively varying degree π−π electron delocalization between α-linked aromatic rings. displayed greater affinities than thienylene or phenylene comparable lengths, as...
Supercapacitors are now attracting much attention as battery‐complementary devices for applications requiring high operating power levels, such in electric vehicle technology. Two types of supercapacitors with different modes energy storage currently under study: the double‐layer, and redox. Electronically conducting polymers represent an interesting class electro‐active materials redox can be applied configurations. Performance data new conventional presented compared to those a...
The use of ionic liquid (IL)-based electrolytes and porous carbonaceous cathodes is today one the most promising strategies for development rechargeable Li/O2 batteries. Enhancing battery cyclability at high discharge rate a key issue automotive applications. O2 reduction meso-macroporous carbon electrode in N-butyl-N-methyl pyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (PYR14TFSI):LiTFSI 9:1 here investigated. study demonstrates that oxygen response IL currents dominated by mass...
