METHODS OF FABRICATING COMPOSITE TEXTILE SUPERCAPACITORS FROM PINEAPPLE AND WATER HYACINTH FIBERS

摘要

This invention teaches the fabrication of composite supercapacitor materials using polyaniline (PANi) and polypyrrole (PPy) conducting polymers, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and metal oxides (e.g. Co, Ni, Mn, Fe) coated on pineapple (Ananas comosus) and water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) fabrics. One embodiment of the invention provides the optimal properties of the supercapacitor material as follows:
