a b s t r a c t Supercapacitor electrodes and devices that utilise conducting polymers are envisaged to bridge the gap between existing carbon-based supercapacitors and batteries to form units of intermediate specific energy. This review looks at the major conducting polymer materials, namely, polyaniline, polypyrrole, polythiophene and derivatives of polythiophene, as well as composites of…
a b s t r a c t Equations routinely used to describe the properties of conventional symmetric electrochemical doublelayer capacitors (EDLCs) are expanded to develop straightforward mathematical functions that can effectively describe the performance characteristics of asymmetric supercapacitors based on electrically conducting polymer and activated carbon (ECP–AC) electrodes. Formulae are…
