Soft, flexible and self-healable supramolecular conducting polymer-based hydrogel electrodes for flexible supercapacitors

Abstract

Conducting polymer-based hydrogels have drawn great attention recently as stretchable, soft electrode materials for flexible supercapacitors, for wearable electronics applications. In this work, we strategically combined the supramolecular approach and...

Organic redox additive incorporated PANI hydrogel electrodes for flexible high-energy-density supercapacitors

“…15 Moreover, a characteristic crystallization peak at 2 θ = 25.6° could be observed, which was assigned to the amorphous structure of PANI chains in PP hydrogels. 45 For PHP hydrogels, typical peaks of PVA and PANI also appeared. However, the diffraction peak of HQ could hardly be observed (the standard PDF card# 48-2239 of HQ was given in Fig.…”

“…The most common conductive polymer hydrogels include polyaniline (PANI), 8,9 polypyrrole (PPy), 10,11 and polythiophene (PTh) 12,13 hydrogels. For instance, Bao et al 14 synthesized a PANI hydrogel via direct polymerization of aniline monomers with phytic acid as the dopant.…”

Boosting PEDOT energy storage with a redox anthraquinone dopant for a flexible hydrogel supercapacitor at sub-zero temperatures

“…4f), which is much larger than the state of the art. [51][52][53] It maintains 495 mF cm À2 at 5 mA cm À2 , which is still 2.8 times larger than that of the PEDOT/PAA electrode (176 mF cm À2 ). The remarkable enhancement in electrochemical capacitance value could be related to the permanent doping state of AQS on the PEDOT chains due to its large size and steric hindrance (Fig.…”

Flexible and multi-material intrinsically conductive polymer devices fabricated via DLP and DIW additive manufacturing techniques

“…For future work to be successful, a re-imagining of the resin will need to be performed with a key focus placed on preventing cross-contamination between the materials over time. Recent conducting polymer research has revealed a potential solution to these issues (Zhu et al , 2022). By grafting cross-linkable pendant chains onto the conducting polymer backbone, crosslinked sections can be added and prevent cross-contamination of layers and increase conductivity.…”
