• Description:
  This presentation has the following conclusions: OPFCNT fibers give better capacitance and Energy Density values compared to pristine fibers; The oxygen functional groups are shown to be on the surface of the fiber by XPS and relates to the increase in capacitance and energy density. Plasma functionalization of the fibers increases surface area of the fibers and alter the pore sizes which improves ion accessibility. The plasma functionalization process in this work can be applied to any fiber and is a continuous and controllable process. PANI-CNT composites were successfully synthesized by an oxidation polymerization technique. The pseudocapacitive effect of the PANI was observed. Devices created with EMIMBF4 had excellent retention and long-life stability. [Description provided by NIOSH]
