Coherent integration of organic gel polymer electrolyte and ambipolar polyoxometalate hybrid nanocomposite electrode in a compact high-performance supercapacitor

We report a gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) supercapacitor concept with improved pathways for ion transport, thanks to a facile creation of a coherent continuous distribution of the electrolyte throughout the electrode. Poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) was chosen as the poly...
