Composite materials for supercapacitor electrodes utilizing polypyrrole nanotubes, reduced graphene oxides and metal–organic framework

Description

Polypyrrole (PPy) is favoured in energy storage for its high pseudo-capacitive performance, notably as poly-pyrrole nanotubes (PPyNTs) due to their easy synthesis, cost-effectiveness and electrochemical solid properties. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have also gained attention for enhancing supercapacitors (SCs). In this study, we fabricated aerogel composites with PPyNTs, MOFs and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) as SC electrode materials. Varying concentrations of PPyNTs and rGO were explored, with MOFs added to assess their impact. Electrochemical tests revealed that the composite with PPyNTs and Zn-MOF achieved the highest specific capa-citance of approximately 270 F/g at 0.5 A/g.
