Abstract

The purpose of this study is to research and develop PAn-Carbon composite electrode for Supercapacitor. Supercapacitor cell of PAn-Carbon composite electrode with 1M $LiClO_{4}/IPC$ brings out good capacitor performance below 4.0V. The radius of semicircle of PAn-Carbon composite electrode adding 30wt% Acetylene Black was absolutely small. The total resistance of Supercapacitor cell mainly depended on internal resistance of he electrode. The discharge capacitance of PAn-Carbon on composite with 30wt% Acetylene Black in 1st and 50th cycles was 29 and 31F/g at current density of $1mA/cm^2$. The capacitance of PAn-Carbon composite with 30wt% Acetylene Black capacitor was larger than that of PAn capacitor without Acetylene Black. The coulombic efficiency of supercapacitor at discharge process of 1 and 50 cycles were 94 and 100%. respectively. PAn-Carbon composite Supercapacitor with 30wt.% Acetylene Black content showed good capacitance and stability with cycling.
