Abstract
This work portrays the synthesis of vanadium oxide with a polyaniline-based composite for supercapacitor utilization. For this purpose, by integrating vanadium pentaoxide V2O5 (VO) into the Polyaniline (PANI) and reduced graphene oxide ‘rGO’ (RG) matrix through an in situ polymerization and sol-gel technique, polyaniline/vanadium pentaoxide (VOP), rGO/Vanadium pentaoxide (VORG) nanocomposites are effectively designed. The XRD patterns of nanocomposites show clear, well-defined peaks, indicating the existence of the VO inside the PANI and rGO matrix. Images obtained using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) reveal that the rGO and PANI were evenly distributed among the nanoparticles in the composites. Current voltage measurements confirm the maximal conductivity for VOP nanocomposites. The electrochemical performance was tested in a standard three-electrode assembly that revealed superior charge storage properties of the VOP composite at a current density of 1 A g−1, with the highest specific capacitance of 1666.67 F g−1 among all the electrodes at similar conditions. The maximum energy density value of 227.92 Wh kg−1 with a power density of 918.85 W kg−1 is observed for VOP nanocomposites. Furthermore, VOP retains around 98.6% of its original capacitance after 1000 charge-discharge cycles and displays better cyclic stability.
