Investigation of polyaniline-coated stainless steel electrodes for electrochemical supercapacitors
- Synthetic Metals, 156(2-4), p.244-250, 2006 .
The specific capacitance of polyaniline (PANI)deposited potentiodynamically on a stainless steel (SS)substrate, in the presence of p-toluene sulphonic acid (PTS)is estimated. Cyclic voltammetric experiments, galvanostatic charge-discharge studies and impedance analysis are carried out in order to investigate the applicability of the system as an electrochemical supercapacitor. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD)and scanning electron microscopy (SEM)techniques are employed for characterization of the electrode.
