Highly dispersed hydrous ruthenium oxide in poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrene sulfonic acid) for supercapacitor electrode
Abstract
Hydrous RuO2 particles were electrochemically loaded into poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) doped poly(styrene sulfonic acid), PEDOT-PSS, matrix by employing various potential cycles in cyclic voltammetry and to fabricate the PEDOT-PSS-RuO2·xH2O electrode. The amount of hydrous RuO2 particles loaded into the PEDOT-PSS matrix was easily controlled by varying the number of potential cycles. Scanning electron microscopy photographs reveal a uniform dispersion of hydrous RuO2 particles in the porous structure of PEDOT-PSS matrix. Raman spectrum confirms the incorporation of hydrous RuO2 into PEDOT-PSS matrix. Chronopotentiometry and cyclic voltammetry were employed in 0.5MH2SO4 to evaluate
the capacitor properties. Specific capacitance values were determined by chronoamperometry. An increasing trend in specific capacitance with loaded amount of hydrous RuO2 particles in PEDOT-PSS was noticed. A maximum specific capacitance of 653 F/g was achieved.
