Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate)/expanded graphite films were cast as thin films with different expanded graphite contents at room temperature. The thermoelectric properties of the composites were investigated as a function of the graphite concentration. The electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient were measured as a function of the graphite concentration. The electrical conductivity and power factor show similar trends with a sharp increase at around 55 wt% of expanded graphite content. The Seebeck coefficient does not show a significant dependence with the graphite content. SEM and TEM images indicate a nearly homogenous distribution of the filler in the matrix. The initial thermal stability is not modified with the filler. 相似文献
In this paper, we report on the high electrical storage capacity of composite electrodes made from nanoscale activated carbon combined with either poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) or PEDOT doped with multiple dopants such as ammonium persulfate (APS) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). The composites were fabricated by electropolymerization of the conducting polymers (PEDOT:PSS, doped PEDOT) onto the nanoscale activated carbon backbone, wherein the nanoscale activated carbon was produced by ball-milling followed by chemical and thermal treatments. Activated carbon/PEDOT:PSS yielded capacitance values of 640 F g?1 and 26 mF cm?2, while activated carbon/doped PEDOT yielded capacitances of 1183 F g?1 and 42 mF cm?2 at 10 mV s?1. This is more than five times the storage capacity previously reported for activated carbon–PEDOT composites. Further, use of multiple dopants in PEDOT improved the storage performance of the composite electrode well over that of PEDOT:PSS. The composite electrodes were characterized for their electrochemical behaviour, structural and morphological details and electronic conductivity and showed promise as high-performance energy storage systems. 相似文献
We have investigated the memory effect of the nanocomposites of functionalized carbon nanoshells (f-CNSs) mixed with poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) doped with polystyrenesulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) polymer. The f-CNSs were synthesized by the spray pyrolysis method and functionalized in situ with functional groups (OH, COOH, C-H, C-OH) with the aim of improving their compatibility in the aqueous dispersion of PEDOT:PSS. The current-voltage (I-V) sweep curves at room temperature for the Al/f-CNSs, for certain concentrations range, embedded in a PEDOT:PSS layer/Al devices showed electrical bistability for write-once-read-many-times (WORM) memory devices. The memory effect observed in the devices can be explained due to the existence of trapped charges in the f-CNSs/PEDOT:PSS layer. The carrier transport mechanisms for the memory devices is studied and discussed. 相似文献
Thermal response behavior of transparent silver nanowire/PEDOT:PSS film heaters are intensively studied for manipulating heating temperature, response time, and power consumption. Influences of substrate heat capacity, heat transfer coefficient between air and heater, sheet resistance and dimension of Ag nanowire film, on the thermal response are investigated from thermodynamic analysis. Suggestion is given for practical applications that if other parameters are fixed, Ag nanowire coverage can be utilized as an effective parameter to adjust the thermal response. The heat transfer coefficient plays opposite roles on thermal response speed and achievable steady temperature. A value of ≈32 W m?2 K?1 is obtained from transient process analysis after correcting it by considering heater resistance variation during heating tests. Guidance of designing heaters with a given response time is provided by forming Ag nanowire film with a suitable sheet resistance on substrate of appropriate material and a certain thickness. Thermal response tests of designed Ag heaters are performed to show higher heating temperature, shorter response time, and lower power consumption (179 °C cm2 W?1) than ITO/FTO heaters, as well as homogeneous temperature distribution and stability for repeated use. Potential applications of the Ag heaters in window defogging, sensing and thermochromism are manifested. 相似文献
Wearable energy storage device nowadays gains great interest due to sharply increased demand for highly flexible, stretchable and embedded electronics, where fiber-based supercapacitor (FSC) is a competitive counterpart. The poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonic acid)/ polyaniline (PEDOT:PSS/PANi) fiber has been prepared via an accessible technique of one-dimensional (1D) self-assembly. Nevertheless, PSS as the main cross-linking matrix may lead to more hopping sites for charge carriers, lessening the continuous electrically conductive path. Herein, PEDOT:PSS/PANi fiber was treated with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to remove the insulative PSS chains. Coupling high electroactivity of PANi and high conductivity of PEDOT, the optimized DMSO-PEDOT:PSS/PANi fiber displays enhanced electrochemical properties with a high specific capacitance (Cs) of 367.7 F g?1 at 0.5 A g?1 and good rate capability. Moreover, a symmetric FSC based on the DMSO-P4P6 fiber exhibits a high energy density of 42.4 Wh kg?1 at a power density of 302.3 W kg?1.
