Montmorillonite/Poly(Pyrrole) for Low-Cost Supercapacitor Electrode Hybrid Materials.

ABSTRACT: Conductive polymers such as polypyrrole have been widely used as pseudo-capacitive electrodes for supercapacitors. This work demonstrates a simple method to improve the performance of conductive polymer electrodes by adding montmorillonite in order to perform capacitive behavior. Conductive composite polymers (CCPs) based on montmorillonite/polypyrrole (MMT/PPy(Cl)) have been synthesized by polymerization using FeCl₃ as an oxidizing agent. During the preparation of CCP, the effect of MMT/pyrrole mass ratio and the influence of the amount of added H⁺ and temperature of the synthesis medium on the electrochemical performance of the composite have been investigated. The investigation associated with conductivity measurement allowed us to determine the best conditions to
