“…However, reported values are still low due to the limited accessibility of electrolyte ions to the surface of the material [22,26]. This could be mitigated by hybridizing this polymer with a material with a high surface area and which has additional properties necessary to improve the overall capacitive performance of the final composite.…”

In this paper, a simple dip-coating technique is used to deposit a P3HT:PCBM/Nickel Aluminum layered double hydroxide-graphene foam (NiAl-LDH-GF) composite onto a nickel foam (NF) serving as a current collector. A self-organization of the polymer chains is assumed on the Ni-foam grid network during the slow "dark" drying process in normal air.Electrochemical cyclic voltammetry (CV) and constant charge-discharge (CD) measurements show an improvement in the supercapacitive behavior of the pristine P3HT:PCBM by an order of magnitude from 0.29 F cm -2 (P3HT:PCBM nanostructures) to 1.22 F cm -2 (P3HT:PCBM/NiAl-LDH-GF composite structure) resulting from the addition of NiAl-LDH-GF material at a current density of 2 mA cm -2 . This capacitance retention after cycling at 10 mA cm -2 also demonstrates the electrode material's potential for supercapacitor applications.

“…[3,4] In this regard, SCs have recently been developed from planar into fiber (or one-dimensional) structures,w hich have achieved better flexibility. [5][6][7][8] In particular, Bae et al [9] prepared aM nO 2 @ZnOn anowire-coated poly(methyl methacrylate) plastic wire SC and attained as pecific capacitance of 2.4 mF cm À2 (0.2 mF cm À1 ). Similarly,agraphene/carbon nanotube (CNT) composite fiber was used [10] as an electrode to fabricate af iber SC with as pecific capacitance of 4.97 mF cm À2 (27.1 mFcm…”

A flexible fiber supercapacitor (SC) was fabricated by using porous carbon as the electrode material and polyvinylalcohol–H3PO4 as the gel‐polymer electrolyte. The porous carbon was derived from dead Ficus religiosa leaves through a single‐step carbonization method and characterized by using BET surface area and TEM analysis as well as XRD, Raman, and FTIR techniques. The fabricated fiber SC works up to 0.8 V and delivers a gravimetric (length) capacitance of 3.4 F g−1 (4.2 mF cm−1) at 1 mA. In addition, it exhibits a maximum gravimetric (length) energy density of 311 mWh kg−1 (37.3×10−8 Wh cm−1) at a power density of 58 W kg−1 (70.3 μW cm−1) with a capacitance retention of 88 % over 4000 cycles.

“…Interaction of electromagnetic waves with textiles and fabric structures is currently of significant importance for several different applications such as personal thermal management [1,2], wearable energy harvesting [3,4], solar-cell carpeting [5,6], shielding against hazardous radiations [7,8] and medical dressings [9,10]. Moreover, such structures can be regarded as constituent layers of 3D photonic crystals and woodpile structures.…”

Abstract-We develop an efficient semi-analytical technique to calculate the electromagnetic scattering from fabric structures modeled as crossed gratings of circular coated fibers of any material composition, arranged arbitrarily in yarns. The method relies on a matrix formulation based on multipole expansion for modeling conical scattering from uniaxial gratings of fibers, and employs a scattering matrix approach to obtain co-and cross-polarized transmission and reflection coefficients. The lattice sums are evaluated using an efficient adaptive algorithm based on Shank's transformation. The method can be employed for analyzing the scattering characteristics of fabric structures embedded in any arbitrary layered media. The validity of the method is verified through comparison with full-wave finite-difference time-domain simulations. A substantial performance gain is obtained, which makes the proposed method applicable to solve large-scale fabric structures.
