▎ 摘 要
Polyaniline (PANI) is a conductive polymer that allows cellulose aerogels to achieve high electrical conductivity. However, aerogels containing PANI alone display a low mechanical stability. Graphene nanosheets (GNS) display high conductivity and mechanical strength but are prone to agglomeration, hindering their electroactive sites. To avoid shortcomings of the individual components, a composite aerogel was prepared via addition of graphene nanosheets (GNS) and PANI to a suspension of cellulose nanofibril (CNF). Transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy were used to analyze the structural morphology of the CNF/GNS/PANI aerogel. The electrochemical properties were analyzed using a four-probe conductivity meter, cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge-discharge tests, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. A 2:2:1 ratio of CNF/GNS/PANI provided optimal structural and electrochemical results. Incorporation of PANI through in-situ polymerization for 6 h resulted in uniform mixing of the three components. The CNF/GNS/PANI composite aerogel displayed a high electrical conductivity with a specific capacitance of 375 Fg(-1) at a current density of 0.2 Ag-1. As a base binder and dispersant, CNF made use of PANI as a conductive medium and of GNS as a conductive reinforcing medium to form a flexible nanocellulose composite conductive material with increased stability and improved performance.
