[Figure 1] Schematic of next-generation CNT-PANI composite fiber supercapacitor and comparison graph with recent results

Caption

Left) Schematic illustration of a composite of CNTs and PANIs. It shows that the covalently bonded PANIs are evenly distributed among the CNTs and that each PANI can act as a nanoscale cell.
(Right) The composite fiber fabricated based on these characteristics shows excellent power and energy density at the simultaneously, exceeding the characteristics of general supercapacitors. (*KIST1 is the value calculated by the weight of only PANI, and KIST2 is the value calculated by the weight of the fiber.)
