摘要
In this research, polyacrylamide/Ag composite is synthesized and used as an electrode in an electrochemical capacitor (EC). The characterization of the composite is performed by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and cyclic voltammetry methods. The electrochemical characterization is conducted in an electrolytic solution of KOH and an electrolytic solution of Na2SO4. The capacitance of the polyacrylamide/Ag composite is associated mainly with the reduction/oxidation of Ag. The specific capacitance of the EC using the KOH electrolyte is 950 Fg(-1), which is better than the capacitance in the Na2SO4 electrolyte. This behavior is explained by the respective physical characteristics of the two electrolytes. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
