solve a and b
The figure below shows a comparison of paper-based supercapacitors. Legends refer to electrode materials. The blue star corresponds to devices with PEDOT:PSS/Cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) electrodes.
101 This work ref. 21 ref. 28 ref. 29 PEDOT/Nanopaper ref. 23 Energy Density (mWh/cm3) 100 PEDOT/Cellulose V PANVPaper A 101 Ppy/Nanocellulose 10-3 10-2 10-1 100 101 102 10 Power Density (W/cm3)
For this graph, the units of the energy density indicate that it can be calculated as follows: Energy density = t CV/2 where C is the specific capacitance, e.g. C F/cm = C/A or C F/kg = C/m, etc. V is the operating voltage, and t is time in units of hour (h).
a. The specific volumetric capacitance of a 9m-thick PEDOT:PSS/CNF electrode is 2.9 F/cm. Calculate the operating voltage if t = 6 min. b. Calculate the specific volumetric capacitance of the PEDOT/Nanopaper electrode under the same operating conditions used to evaluate the PEDOT:PSS/CNF electrode.
