聚3-(4-氟苯基)噻吩/碳化聚丙烯腈泡沫复合电极的电化学研究

噻吩衍生物是合成导电高分子材料的单体之一，在有机电致发光器件和电能存储等方面有着广泛的应用。聚3-(4-氟苯基)噻吩(PFPT)是一类既可进行p型掺杂又可进行n型掺杂的窄能带聚合物，在导电高分子型电化学电容器方面具有很好的应用前景，聚丙烯腈微孔膜已在锂离子电池方面有了很好的应用。若将它与碳纸复合后，再进行高温碳化和CO2活化，可制得导电性好、比表面积大的片状材料，作为电化学电容器的电极材料具有一定的双电层电容量．本文在三电极电解池中以这种材料的薄片为工作电极使3-(4-氟苯基)噻吩在乙腈溶液中进行电化学聚合，制备了聚3-(4-氟苯基)噻吩／碳化聚丙烯腈泡沫复合电极并研究了电极的电化学特性。

Electrochemical Study on Poly-3-(4-fluorophenyl)thiophene/Carbonized Polyacrylonitrile Foam Composite Electrodes

The carbon foams were prepared by carbonization of polyacrylonitrile membrane with carbon paper. After modified by CO 2, the BET specific surface area of the carbon foam increased from 14.3 to 290.2 m 2/g and there are more electrical double layer capacitance than that in the unmodified carbon foams. Composite electrodes were fabricated by electrochemical polymerization of 3-(4-fluorophenyl)thiophene on carbon foams in 0.2 mol/L tetraethylammonium tetrafluoroborate in acetonitrile solution. Cyclic voltammetry of PFPT/carbon foam electrodes show that they have two type of capacitance: one is quasicapacitance originated from PFPT doping/undoping in electrolyte solution; the other is electrical double layer capacitance belonging to high specific area of the composite electrodes. The performance of electrochemical capacitors, such as energy density, would be improved by adopting this carbon foam with a high specific area as electrodes in polymerization of conducting polymers.
