Abstract

4 V-operated all solid symmetrical supercapacitors that employ mixtures of various weight compositions with cross-linked poly-4-vinylphenol (c-P4VPh) and 1-ethyl-3-methyl imidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (EMITFSI) electrolytes have been demonstrated and characterized. The values at 1:3, 3.5, 4 and 4.5 (c-P4VPh:EMITFSI) offer free-standing membranes with high ionic conductivity. In the case of 1:3.5, the best specific capacitance (172.44 F g-1 in a single-electrode) and energy density (72.23 W h kg-1) were obtained at symmetrical cells based on porous carbon electrodes. Every prepared SC was reliable over 1000 cycles in the range of 0-4 V. They also have excellent flexibility and maintain capacitance after completing the bending test a thousand times.
