Abstract
In this study, silicon carbide (SiC)-reinforced polyindole (PIn) nanocomposites were prepared by a simple in situ polymerization method. The successful reinforcement of the nanofiller within the host matrix was characterized using different analytical techniques. The chemical bonding of SiC in the polymer was identified by the characteristic peak around 800 cm1 using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The increment in intensity of the absorption and enhanced crystallinity of the samples upon the addition of nanofillers were analyzed using UV-vis spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The prepared specimens showed reduced optical bandgap energy (3.188 eV) and Urbach energy (2.315 meV) with an improved refractive index (2.348). The effect of nanoparticles on the surface morphology of the nanocomposites was studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and a uniform dispersion of fillers in the matrix was found for PInSiC7. A high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) revealed the shape and average particle size of the sample. X-ray electron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements confirmed the formation of the nanocomposite by exhibiting the presence of all elements in the corresponding spectra. The thermal stability and glass transition temperature of the nanocomposites were significantly improved with the addition of SiC. The temperature-dependent AC conductivity, dielectric parameters, complex impedance, and electrical modulus were also evaluated using an impedance analyzer. The increased electrical characteristics of the PInSiC7 sample can be attributed to the uniform spread and strong synergetic interaction of SiC with PIn. The results thus showcased the potential of the samples for use in optical and energy storage applications. This study was also extended to understand the ammonia sensing properties, which make it possible to design and develop gas sensors using the PInSiC nanocomposites.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 651:346-355.

Abstract
As a robust and conductive substrate, carbon cloth (CC) has been modified with various pseudocapacitive materials to boost its electrochemical performance in flexible supercapacitors. Here, poly(1,5-diaminoanthraquinone) (PDAA) electrodeposited CC electrodes were developed and much higher areal specific capacitance was obtained in comparison with the functionalized CC (FCC). Most importantly, an unusual phenomenon of "improving with using" was found for the optimized one, FCC@PDAA-3, which exhibited the increased capacitance retention from 150.4% to 194.8% with increasing the number of cycles from 10,000 to 50,000. Such extraordinary cyclic life was mainly ascribed to the doping and electropolymerization of the encapsulated 1,5-diaminoanthraquinone (DAA) in the immobilized PDAA during the electrochemical cycles. These findings are expected to contribute to a deeper understanding of the pseudocapacitive materials evolution during long charging/discharging cycles, favoring the design of long-life supercapacitors for practical application.

Abstract
The electrochemical performance of the carbon cloth (CC)-based electrodes is determined by the kind, content, morphology, and size of the modified pseudocapacitive materials, as well as the interaction with CC. Also, such structural parameters were mainly dependent on the deposition condition. More uniform polyaniline (PANI) could be obtained by electrochemical polymerization in comparison to chemical oxidation polymerization. However, two steps of electrodeposition were usually needed for nucleation and growth. Here, based on the comprehensive optimization of the electrodeposition condition, well-defined PANI nanorods anchored on the functionalized carbon cloth (FCC) as flexible electrodes (FCC@PANI) were synthesized by a facile one-step electrochemical polymerization. Compared with the FCC electrode, the resultant FCC@PANI-4 sample possessed good cycling stability (98.3% capacitance retention after 10,000 cycles), higher specific capacitances of 2312 mF cm-2 (1.0 mA cm-2) and 107 F g-1 (1.0 A g-1) with the boosting ratio in the areal specific capacitance (CA), and mass specific capacitances (Cm) of 169 and 181%, respectively. The improvement in both specific capacitance and cycling stability was obtained by the strong interaction between the FCC and the modified PANI nanorods with enhanced utilization efficiency of electroactive materials. Furthermore, the symmetric solid-state device assembled using the FCC@PANI-4 electrode delivered a maximum energy density of 0.079 mWh cm-2 at a power density of 0.363 mW cm-2.

Abstract
Herein, we demonstrate a flexible, structural robust and highly electrochemical active film electrode based on evenly distributed carboxymethylcellulose-polyaniline/carbon nanotube (CMC-PANI/CNT) for supercapacitors. In this process, vertically aligned PANI nanoparticles grow in an orderly manner on CMC fibers. The highly dispersed CNT nanomaterials are then introduced by simple layer-by-layer assembly, eventually forming an interwoven network structure. Mechanical tests have shown that the obtained CMC-PANI/CNT film exhibit excellent robustness and flexibility, and can be used directly as electrodes without any conductive additives and binders. The CMC-PANI/CNT electrode with optimal CMC, PANI and CNT contents demonstrates an excellent area specific capacitance of 3106.3 mF cm-2 at 5 mA cm-2 and a gravimetric specific capacitance of 348.8 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1. Furthermore, the symmetric supercapacitor (SSC) assembled with CMC-PANI/CNT exhibits a high energy density of 99.89 μW h cm-2 at a power density of 400.02 μW cm-2, and a good cycling stability (with capacitance retention of 89.2 % after 5000 cycles). The cost-effective and eco-friendly preparation method of free-standing CMC-PANI/CNT film electrodes provide a novel insight for developing flexible energy storage devices.
