Description
Summary:Due to various useful properties of polyethers, the prime objective of present paper is to develop an efficient supercapacitor based on high conducting polymer electrolyte and carbon based materials. To develop such films Polyvinylidene fluoride co-hexafluoropropylene (PVDF-HFP) polymer doped with ionic liquid (IL) 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium thiocyanate has been prepared using solution cast technique. The detail studies of polymer electrolyte with optimized value of IL: PVDF-HFP i.e. (80:20) we have reported elsewhere. For electrodes, cobalt enriched porous carbon material has been synthesized and characterized in detail. A sandwiched type electric double layer supercapacitor (EDLC) has been fabricated using maximum conducting polymer-IL film which shows ultra-high capacitance of 294 F/g at room environmental condition. This work successfully demonstrates the suitability of polymer electrolyte in developing highly efficient energy devices.
