Department Conducting Polymers
Description Electrochemical supercapacitors represent a vital component of modern energy storage systems due to their rapid charge-discharge capabilities, high power density, and extended cycle life. However, the limitations of existing electrode materials, including inadequate long-term stability and restricted energy density, hinder their widespread implementation in advanced applications. To address these challenges, this PhD project proposes the development of a novel three-component composite electrode that integrates polyaniline, boron-doped diamond, and nitrogen-doped carbon. The synergistic integration of these materials is expected to enhance charge storage efficiency, expand the electrochemical window, and improve both mechanical and chemical stability, thereby advancing the next generation of high-performance supercapacitors.
