Revolutionizing capacitor technology: conductive cotton fabrics based graphite as supercapacitor capacitors
Source abstract
Abstract
Carbon-based materials, particularly graphite, have been extensively studied for their potential in fabricating flexible conductive fabrics with high electrical conductivity, which are attractive for wearable electronics. In this study, we investigated the effects of polar solvents, graphite concentration, and temperature on the electrical properties of conductive cotton fabrics. Our results show that the type of polar solvent and graphite concentration strongly influence the electrical conductivity of the fabrics. By controlling the graphite concentration, a wide range of conductive cotton fabrics with different conductivity values can be produced. Additionally, temperature resistance studies revealed that the fabrics exhibit both semiconductor and metallic behavior in the temperature range from room temperature to 160 °C. These interesting properties make the conductive cotton fabrics suitable for use as electrical components in circuits with resistive and inductive loads. Furthermore, we fabricated a supercapacitor with electrodes based on dispersed graphite and an electrolyte of sodium chloride salt dissolved in deionized water. Our findings suggest that conductive cotton fabrics have great potential for use in high-performance wearable electronics and energy storage devices.
