Abstract

In this work, we studied the effect of various conductive agents on the electrochemical characteristics of electrodes for supercapacitors with an aqueous electrolyte. Activated carbon with a high specific surface area obtained by chemical activation of carbonized rice husks has been used as the active material of composite electrodes. Various conductive agents were tested, represented by carbon nanofibers based on polyacrylonitrile (PAN), multilayer carbon nanotubes and commercial acetylene black
(Timcal SUPER C65). Electrochemical studies were carried out by cyclic voltammetry. The most effective reduction in electrode resistance, as well as high efficiency at different sweep rates was achieved when multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were used as a conductive additive. Our study shows that the use of electrode composites consisting of activated carbon derived from an
available biomass precursor, in combination with a conductive additive based on carbon nanotubes, leads to an increase in the performance of energy storage systems, in particular electrochemical capacitors.
