Low cost, high efficiency flexible supercapacitor electrodes made from areca nut husk nanocellulose and silver nanoparticle embedded polyaniline.

ABSTRACT: Energy storage is a key aspect in the smooth functioning of the numerous gadgets that aid easy maneuvering through modern life. Supercapacitors that store energy faradaically have recently emerged as potential inventions for which mechanical flexibility is an absolute requirement for their future applications. Flexible supercapacitors based on nanocellulose extracted from easily available waste materials via low cost methods have recently garnered great attention. In the present work, we discuss the construction of flexible, binder-free supercapacitive electrodes using nanocellulose extracted from locally available areca nut husks and polyaniline embedded with silver nanoparticles. The prepared electrodes were characterized using SEM, TEM, XRD, FTIR, EDX and electrochemical characte
