Sammanfattning
We report the results of the potential cycling stability tests carried out on composite materials consisting of graphene based materials and electrically conducting polymers.
Composite films were synthesized by electropolymerization of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) from aqueous solutions of graphene oxide (GO) functioning as the charge compensating counter anions without any additional additives [1]. Electrochemical reduction was applied to reduce GO in the PEDOT-GO composites to reduced graphene oxide (RGO) [2]. In this work, we have studied the potential cycling stability of both the PEDOT-GO and PEDOT-RGO films and compared them with PEDOT prepared with polystyrene sulfonate (PSS-) as dopant ions.
In this work, the electropolymerization and characterization of the redox properties of the composite films were studied mainly with cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance. Long-term potential cycling of the PEDOT-GO and PEDOT-RGO films were carried out in aqueous electrolyte solutions and were compared to PEDOT-PSS. Preliminary results indicate that PEDOT-RGO has an extended electroactive window compared to PEDOT-PSS. In addition, we report the influence of the electroreduction on the switching ability of the composite films between two oxidation states. A quick switching is crucial for their applicability in supercapacitor and batteries.
We also present a simple electropolymerization procedure to synthesize PEDOT-RGO films from organic solvents containing RGO. The areal capacitances of the two PEDOT-RGO film types prepared from aqueous and organic solutions will be compared with electropolymerized composites of polyaniline and GO/RGO.
