Fabrication and Electrochemical Capacitive Behaviors of a Carbon Nanotube-Coated Polymer Monolith

Abstract

A poly(acrylonitrile) monolith having a three-dimensionally developed, continuous porous structure was uniformly coated with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) just by dipping the monolith in an aqueous dispersion of CNTs. This simple procedure successfully realized the modification of the monolith surface with the electron-conductive material. Cyclic voltammetry showed that electrochemical capacitance was indeed imparted to the CNT-coated monolith. © The Electrochemical Society of Japan, All rights reserved.
