Graphene – Polyaniline nanocomposite treated with microwave as a new supercapacitor electrode and its structural, electrochemical properties

Development of sustainable and renewable energy devices has gained more demand due to the growing global energy consumption along with depletioning of fossil fuel. Supercapacitor is a novel energy storage device that fills the gap between capacitors and batteries. It has attracted more researchers due to its power density and cyclic life. Supercapacitors are classified into two broad categories based on the energy storage mechanism namely Electric Double Layer Capacitor (EDLC), which is non-faradaic process and pseudocapacitor. The important factors affecting the performance of supercapacitors are the electrode materials and electrolyte The researches about supercapacitor mainly concentrate on the electrode materials such as carbon materials, metal oxides and conducting polymers. Other than CNT and carbon nanofiber, graphene and its composite materials have been studied as electrode materials. Graphene based materials possesses better electrochemical property than CNT
