Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to structural supercapacitors and electrodes for structural supercapacitors having high energy storage and high mechanical characteristics and methods of making the structural supercapacitors and electrodes. The structural supercapacitors can include a solid electrolyte and carbon fiber electrodes comprising carbon nanotubes, surface functionalized redox-active moieties, and/or a conducting polymer.
Claims11
A method of making an electrode for a structural supercapacitor comprising:
- depositing carbon nanotubes on a carbon fiber sheet;
- functionalizing a surface of the carbon fiber sheet with a redox-active species;
- and
- depositing a conducting polymer on the carbon fiber sheet.
