Description
Summary:In era of modern technology, light-weight, flexible, low-cost and environmentally safe substrates/electrodes are highly feasible for application in disposable electronics and energy storage devices. This study presents morphological and dielectric characteristics of naked and polyaniline (PANI) coated lignocelluloses fibers, directly collected from self-growing plant, Typha Angustifolia. Impedance spectroscopy measurements performed in frequency range from 0.1Hz to 10MHz revealed increase of six orders magnitude in conductive properties of lignocelluloses fibers coated with polyaniline. Dielectric constant of polyaniline coated lignocelluloses fibers also increased by three to five orders magnitude and revealed weak frequency dependence. Presented morphological and dielectric investigations of directly collected and PANI coated lignocelluloses fibers will open possibilities to develop facile, low-cost, flexible and environment friendly paper substrates for energy storage and disposable electronic applications.
