摘要
Single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT) act as a compatabilizer for polyacrylonitrile (PAN)/styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN) copolymer blends. Carbonization of PAN/SAN/SWNT blend films results in pore widths in the range of 1-200 nm, while carbonized PAN/SAN blend films resulted in pores with typical width of 1-10 mu m. Electrochemical supercapacitor behavior of the carbonized PAN/SAN/SWNT films was characterized using 6 M KOH electrolyte. Surface area and pore size distribution were analyzed using nitrogen gas adsorption and the BET and DFT theories. Double layer capacity of the carbonized PAN/SAN/SWNT films was as high as 205 mu F/cm(2) based on the BET surface area. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
