Abstract

Spherical-like polypyrrole with an average diameter of 100 nm as the electrode material for supercapacitor was prepared by a self-assembly process with heparin sodium salt as the dopant at-10 ℃.The morphology and electrochemical properties were characterized by transmission electron microscopy(TEM),cyclic voltammetry(CV),galvanostatic charge/discharge and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS) measurements.The results showed that the polypyrrole doped with heparin sodium salt exhibited good capacitive behavior.The specific capacitance of single electrode was up to 338 F/g at 3 mA/cm2.
