| In this project, polymer films of N-methyl pyrolle will be synthesized by using template synthesis method. The resulting, intrinsically conductive polymers and other low band gap polymers will be used as electrode materials in nano-technological supercapacitors. Importance of conducting polymers as an active layer of supercapacitor is their high energy capacity, fast charging/discharging, ease of tailoring, robustness, high surface area, environmentally friendly properties. The project has three stages that combine nano-technology, polymer chemistry and materials science: (1) synthesis and characterization of low band gap polymers on the carbon-nanotubes, (2) template synthesis of low band gap polymers on a conductive substrate, (3) construction of supercapacitors. The main goal of this project is production of exceptionally high capacity supercapacitors which are promising devices in many application areas: military objectives, automatic industry, etc. |
