Development and Synthesis of Composite Electrode (rGO/G/PANI) for Capacitor from Burnout Battery Powder
Composite Electrode (rGO/G/PANI) for Capacitor
Keywords:
Polyaniline, Reduced graphene oxide, Supercapacitor, rGO/G/PANI compositeAbstract
TrGO/G/PANI is a new composite that has been derived by the combination of graphene oxide, graphite, and polyaniline for usage in supercapacitor applications. By combing these three, a material can be produced that would be able to reach capacitances up to 421F/g. In this project, the techniques for producing and characterizing the composite were shown. Graphene oxide was synthesized using Hummer’s method and subsequently reduced to rGO using hydrazine hydrate. Polyaniline was synthesized by chemical oxidative polymerization using MnO2 and graphite from burnout battery powder in presence of graphene oxide to form a ternary nanocomposite. The resultant material was characterized by SEM, XRD, TGA, and CV test. The presence of spherical nanoparticles of polyaniline and sheets or graphene was confirmed by SEM, and XRD confirmed the appropriate compounds. CV test showed the capacitance of the material, which was 75.3F/g. These results indicate that this type of material can be used for fast storage and quick utilization of energy.
