Abstract
This paper investigates textile-based energy storage devices fabricated with poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) as an electro-active polymer and conductive yarns as the electrodes. The conductive yarns are sewn into a textile substrate and then coated with PEDOT:PSS systematically. Two different sets of devices were made. A comparison of the devices made with silver coated polybenzoxazol filament yarns and the devices made with pure stainless steel filament yarns is performed. The devices were charged and their self-discharge was measured by voltage decay. A study of the influence of charging time on the decay and the effect brought by various load resistors on the voltage decay is also performed. In this research, the devices with electrodes of pure stainless steel filaments yarns performed better than the devices with silver coated yarns; this outcome has been reported as standard by various researchers.
