Preparation and characterization of PANI: alpha borophene electrode for supercapacitors

In this study, alpha Bomphene as a two-dimensional nanomaterial was prepared via a facile and low-cost ultrasonic exfoliation. Zeta potential profile showed that the prepared alpha bomphene has sufficient electrostatic repulsion to achieve good physical stability. Randomly grown Polyaniline (PANI): alpha borophene nano network electrode was prepared on Ni foam substrate. Electrochemical performance of PANI: alpha borophene was investigated. The electrochemical measurements reveal that the specific capacitance of the PANI: alpha bomphene electrode was 960 Fg(-1) with the capacitance retention of 95% after 1000 cycles. alpha Borophene enhanced the capacitive performance of PANI. PANI: alpha borophene is a promising material with high specific capacity and good stability for supercapacitors.
