Growth mechanism of 2D heterostructures of polypyrrole grown on TiO₂ nanoribbons for high-performance supercapacitors.

ABSTRACT: The patterning of functional structures is crucial in the field of materials science. Despite the enticing nature of two-dimensional surfaces, the task of directly modeling them with regular structures remains a significant challenge. Here we present a novel method to pattern a two-dimensional polymer in a controlled way assisted by chemical polymerization, which is confirmed through discernible observation. The fabrication process involves in situ polymerization to create 2D layers of polypyrrole (PPy) on extended 2D TiO₂ nanoribbons, resulting in oriented arrays known as 2D PPy/TiO₂. These arrays exhibit enhanced electrochemical performance, making them ideal for supercapacitor applications. The skeleton structure of this material is distinctive, characterize
