Nanowires of polyaniline festooned silver coated paper electrodes for efficient solid-state symmetrical supercapacitors.

ABSTRACT: This paper demonstrates a facile strategy for the development of nanosilver decorated polyaniline coated (PAg) paper-based electrodes for the fabrication of solid-state symmetrical supercapacitors. PAg based printing paper was developed through a two-step process involving initial silver nucleation and growth on the paper followed by aniline polymerization. The developed electrically conductive paper exhibited a highly porous structure and excellent mechanical stability. Further symmetrical supercapacitors having the configuration PAg/electrolyte/PAg were fabricated and evaluated for electrochemical performance such as specific capacitance (483 F g^-1 and 613 F g^-1 in aqueous 1 M H₂SO₄ and PVA-H₂SO₄ gel electrolytes respectiv
