Electro-sprayed Quaternary Composite of Poly(aniline-co-pyrrole), Graphene Oxide, and Iron Oxide as an Efficient Electrode for Hybrid Supercapacitor Application

A novel quaternary nanocomposite has been developed using a cost-effective and user-friendly method called electro-spraying. This composite consists of poly(aniline-co-pyrrole), Graphene Oxide (GO), and Iron Oxide (Fe3O4), aimed at achieving improved electrochemical stability and performance. The composite electrodes displayed an impressive specific capacitance of 950 Fg–1 at a current density of 0.5 Ag–1 when tested in a 1 M H2SO4 solution. Furthermore, even after 2000 cycles at a current density of 1 Ag–1, the electrode exhibited an outstanding capacitance retention rate of 91%, showcasing its remarkable stability and long-lasting performance. These exceptional properties can be attributed to the synergistic effects arising from the combination of the conducting polymer, metal oxide, and graphene oxide components within the electrode material. Additionally, significant advancements in other electrochemical properties make this nanocomposite a promising candidate for use as an electrode material in supercapacitors.
