This project aims to investigate the design and manufacture of supercapacitive fibres made from conducting polymers. These fibres will be made of interconnected networks swollen with solvent to create a gel structure, to give highly elastic behaviour leading to high-performance stretchable fabrics for energy storage. Manufacture of these fibres will be performed using low-energy, low-cost methods that are ideally scalable, to enable future mass-manufacture of these fibres. Charge storage capacity and rates of charge transfer of the nanostructures will be optimised to produce supercapacitive fibres with both a high specific energy and a high specific power, potentially leading to organic supercapacitors that are comparable to the commercially available inorganic ones seen today, but with improved wearability.
