Polythiophene infiltrated TiO2 nanotubes as high-performance supercapacitor electrodes

Chem Commun (Camb). 2013 Mar 21;49(23):2308-10. doi: 10.1039/c3cc00065f.

Abstract

We report exceptional electrochemical specific capacitance (640 F g(-1)) for polythiophene (PTh) infiltrated into TiO(2) nanotubes (TNTs) by a controlled electropolymerization route. The resulting PTh-TNTs also exhibit excellent electrochemical behavior with long-term stability. This reproducible and superior performance of PTh-TNT electrodes makes them attractive candidates for energy storage.
