Towards sustainable solid-state supercapacitors: Electroactive conducting polymers combined with biohydrogels

Solid-state organic electrochemical supercapacitors (OESCs) have been fabricated using poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) electrodes, a biohydrogel as electrolyte system, and polyaniline fibers as redox additive. The effectivity of sodium alginate, κ-carrageenan, chitosan and gelatin hydrogels...

The effectivity of sodium alginate, κ-carrageenan, chitosan and gelatin hydrogels as electrolytic media has been evaluated considering different criteria.
