Copper Phthalocyanine- Perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride Supercapacitors

Abstract

Perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) and copper phthalocyanine (CuPC were used to fabricated a supercapacitor. The present study reports the electrical properties of a supercapacitor based on PTCDA and CuPC. The active electrode, electrolyte, current electrodes used for the super capacitors are p-type and n-type organic semiconductors, copper chloride and Al-Cu metal electrodes, respectively. Black carbon was added to active electrodes  PTCDA and CuPc . The current-voltage and power-voltages characteristics of the prepared PTCDA and CuPC based supercapacitors were performed using Fytronix 9200 IV-CV analyzer. The Isc, Voc, and Pmax values for the Al/CuPc/PTCDA/Cu supercapacitos were 1.28 mA, 0.12 V, and 0.038 mW, respectively. Among the prepared supercapacitors, the supercapacitor with the CuPC ratio: BC=90:10 exhibited the highest  electrical performance between all supercapacitors. It is evaluated that the organic semiconductor can be used for supercapacitor applications.
