Description
Summary:An effective alternative renewable energy storage device is a supercapacitor. In this study, we used a nanohybrid material composed of poly(diphenylamine) PDPA and Platinum (Pt) nanoparticles electrode using a simple novel interfacial polymerization method in the presence and absence of surfactants to investigate the supercapacitor abilities. The fabricatedelectrode was thoroughly studied using EDX, SEM, and elemental mapping analysis to confirm Pt@PDPA formation. A synergistic effect caused by Platinum’s ability to increase the cyclelife of supercapacitors because of its excellent electrical performance and the conductive polymer’s high conductivity resulted in excellent electrocatalytic activity as measured electrochemically in 1.0 M H2SO4. Furthermore, we have studied the effect of the addition of surfactant on the electroactivity of catalysts by studying their current densities and charge transferresistance. From the Physiochemical and Electrochemical studies, it is established that Pt@PDPA/CTAB electrocatalysts synthesized via the interfacial polymerization method have potential in supercapacitor applications.
