Ruschhaupt, Peter; Varzi, Alberto; Passerini, Stefano published the artcile< Natural Polymers as Green Binders for High-Loading Supercapacitor Electrodes>, Product Details of C6H12O6, the main research area is natural polymer green binder high loading supercapacitor electrode; binders; carbohydrates; flexible electrodes; high mass loading; supercapacitors.
The state-of-the-art aqueous binder for supercapacitors is CM-cellulose (CMC). However, it limits the mass loading of the coatings owing to shrinkage upon drying. In this work, natural polymers, i.e., guar gum (GG), wheat starch (WS), and potato starch (PS), were studied as alternatives. The flexibility and adhesion of the resulting coatings and electrochem. performance was tested. The combination of 75:25 (weight/weight) ratio PS/GG showed a promising performance. Electrodes were characterized by SEM, thermal, adhesion, and bending tests. Their electrochem. properties were determined by cyclic voltammetry, electrochem. impedance spectroscopy, and cycling experiments The PS/GG mixture conformed well to criteria for industrial production, enabling mass loadings higher than CMC (7.0 mg cm-2) while granting the same specific capacitance (26 F g-1) and power performance (20 F g-1 at 10 A g-1). Including the mass of the current collector, this represents a +45% increase in specific energy at the electrode level.
