Recently, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, new progress has been made in flexible supercapacitor research. Research results have been published in the magazine <materials chemistry>.

With flexible functional wearable and portable electronic device development, requirements-driven energy supplying devices of its work not only provides sufficient power and energy density, still need to have good flexibility. Supercapacitors have a higher power density and cycle stability and can be used for fast charging and discharging, but its lower energy density limits of its practical application. Therefore, further improved super capacitor energy density and flexibility, is a hot research of supercapacitor.

PANI is a special electronic and optical properties, and doped conductive polymers. Through a series of experiments, the team researchers using in situ electro-deposition technology, evenly on a flexible conductive substrate prepared with a layer of polyaniline film and composite flexible supercapacitor electrodes further prepared. This Super capacitors connected in parallel, you can effectively drive LED lights for a few minutes, and showing excellent flexibility and loop stability.

In addition, the solid research group researchers further ordinary laser printing technology and combining in situ electro-deposition technology, improve the configuration of the flexible supercapacitor, preparation, a plug-like flexible supercapacitor configurations, their integration and flexible electrical devices has an even greater advantage.
