Graphene-Polymer Nanocomposites and Roll-to-Roll (R2R) Compatible Flexible Solid-State Supercapacitor Based on Graphene Nanoplatelets and Ionic Liquid-Polymer Gel
We present the electrical and supercapacitive
performance of graphene nanoplatelets in polymer nanocomposites and flexible
solid state electrical double layer capacitors (EDLC) respectively.
Graphene-doped poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) coated
polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and glass exhibited transmittance above 95%
and electrical conductivity of 2.70 × 10ˉ1 S·cmˉ1 and
9.01 × 10ˉ1 S·cmˉ1 respectively. Graphene loaded
polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and polystyrene (PS) nanocomposites showed
electrical conductivity as high as 2.11 × 10ˉ1 S·cmˉ1
