INTRINSICALLY CONDUCTIVE POLYMER FOR SUPERCAPACITOR

摘要

First, a supercapacitor comprising a first substrate comprising a first and second surface,- a first electrode comprising an intrinsically conductive polymer having a conductivity of at least about 800 S/cm and having a first and second side, wherein the first side is adjacent the second surface of the first substrate; an electrolyte adjacent the second side of the first electrode; a second electrode comprising an intrinsically conductive polymer having a conductivity of at least about 800 S/cm and having a first side and a second side wherein the first side is adjacent the second side of the first electrode and separated from the first electrode by the electrolyte; and a second substrate having a first surface and a second surface, wherein the first surface is adjacent the second side of the second electrode. Secondly, a method of doping an intrinsically conductive polymer film is provided. The method includes contacting the film with a first acid dopant to form a primary doped intrinsically conductive polymer film,- cleaning the primary doped intrinsically conductive polymer film by contacting the primary doped intrinsically conductive polymer film with a vapor; dipping the vapor-cleaned primary doped intrinsically conductive polymer film into a solution including at least a second acid dopant and an organic solvent to form a secondary doped intrinsically conductive polymer film; and annealing the secondary doped intrinsically conductive polymer, film to produce a tertiary doped intrinsically conductive polymer film.
