Abstract :
The aim of this work is to improve the supercapacitor performance of polyaniline (PANI). Polyaniline
nano fibres are incorporated into graphene oxide (GO)
layers by interfacial polymerization pathway, wherein
PANI fibres are intercalated into GO layers and also cover
the GO. PANI–GO hybrid composite is obtained in semicrystalline form with good conductivity (1.7 S cm-1
). The
specific capacitance for PANI–GO (365 F g-1
) is found to
be higher than PANI (280 F g-1
). At the energy density of
15 W h kg-1
, the power density of PANI–GO
(632 W kg-1
) is higher than PANI (283 W kg-1
).
