Abstract

The unique effects of highly conductive conducting polymer/SWNT (single walled carbon nanotube) composite nanoparticles in electric double layer capacitors are studied for the enhancement of the adhesive properties, specific capacitance and power characteristics of the electrode. Because the conducting polymer/SWNT composite material, which is believed to act as a polymer binder, an active material for charge storage and a conducting agent, is well distributed on the activated carbon, greatly enhanced adhesion properties, cell capacitance and power characteristics were obtained.
