Borotungstic Acid (BWA)-Polyacrylamide (PAM) Solid Polymer Electrolytes for Electrochemical Capacitors
Year: 2017
Type: dissertation
Abstract: Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) are key enablers for thin and flexible electrochemical capacitors in wearable technologies. Polyacrylamide (PAM) is one such promising hygroscopic polymer host, but its performance had not been optimized. This thesis enhanced PAM with borotungstic acid (BWA) as the heteropolyacid conductors. The BWA-PAM electrolyte achieved a high initial conductivity of ca. 27 mS cm-1, but suffered from a short service life (
