Latest Patents
Lizhen Fan holds a patent for a "Porous carbon electrode with conductive polymer coating." This invention features an extremely high-performance polyaniline electrode, which was prepared by potentiostatic deposition of aniline on hierarchically porous carbon monolith (HPCM). The carbon monolith is carbonized from mesophase pitch, resulting in a capacitance value of 2200 F of polyaniline at a power density of 0.47 kW/kg and an energy density of 300 Wh/kg. The active material deposited on HPCM exhibits high stability, which can be attributed to the backbone role of HPCM. This method avoids the introduction of any binder, thereby increasing ionic conductivity and power density. The combination of high specific capacitance, high power and energy density, high stability, and low cost of active material makes it a promising solution for supercapacitors.
