Abstract
Multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/polyaniline (PANI) composite films were prepared by in-situ electrochemical polymerization of an aniline solution containing different MWCNT contents. The supercapacitive behaviors of these films were investigated with cyclic voltammetry (CV), charge–discharge tests, and ac impedance spectroscopy. The results revealed that the MWCNT/PANI films show much higher specific capacitance (SC), better power characteristic, better cyclic stability, and more promising for applications in supercapacitors than a pure PANI film electrode. The highest specific capacitance value of 500 F g −1 was obtained for the MWCNT/PANI composite film containing MWCNT of 0.8 wt.%. The improvement mechanisms of the capacitance of the composites are also discussed in detail.
