Abstract PEDOT nanotubes were chemically synthesized using a hexane/water reverse microemulsion polymerization and deposited onto ITO substrate. FTIR polarized specular reflectance spectra are consistent with AOT molecules organized inside the PEDOT nanotubes. The electrochemical properties of PEDOT nanotubes were evaluated by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in comparison with PEDOT:PSS modified electrodes. The results indicates an increase in the capacitance and a decrease in the charge transfer resistance for the PEDOT nanotubes in comparison with PEDOT:PSS films due to the higher exposure of the electroactive sites in the nanostructured material. Galvanostatic charge/discharge curves were performed and a maximum specific capacitance of 160 F·g−1 was revealed, indicating that this material has potential to be used in supercapacitors development.

PEDOT纳米管修饰电极的界面表征和超级电容行为

摘要 PEDOT 纳米管使用正己烷/水反相微乳液聚合化学合成并沉积在 ITO 基板上。FTIR 偏振镜面反射光谱与 PEDOT 纳米管内组织的 AOT 分子一致。与 PEDOT:PSS 改性电极相比，PEDOT 纳米管的电化学性能通过循环伏安法和电化学阻抗谱进行评估。结果表明，与 PEDOT:PSS 膜相比，由于纳米结构材料中电活性位点的暴露程度更高，PEDOT 纳米管的电容增加和电荷转移电阻降低。执行恒电流充电/放电曲线并显示最大比电容为 160 F·g-1，
