In Situ Synthesis of a Polyaniline/ Fe-Ni Codoped Co₃O₄ Composite for the Electrode Material of Supercapacitors with Improved Cyclic Stability.

ABSTRACT: Conductive polymers have become a remarkable candidate for electrode materials of supercapacitors. Polyaniline (PANI) is the most promising contender for supercapacitors because of its easy method of synthesis, low cost, and higher choice in the improvement of energy storage applications. The main issue in the use of PANI in supercapacitors is its lower stability. In this work, PANI@Fe-Ni codoped Co₃O₄ (PANI@FNCO) nanocomposite has been prepared by in situ addition of 10 wt % FNCO as fillers in the PANI matrix. The nanocomposites were then characterized via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry to observe the morphology, crystal structure,
