The main goal of the present work is the elaboration of new nanocomposite conducting poly(aniline) with α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles in the presence of zeolite HY acid in aqueous electrolyte by chemical oxidative polymerization. Various formulations of the polymer were synthesized (5, 10, and 20% of α-Fe2O3) and the nanocomposites poly(aniline)/HY/α-Fe2O3 have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), SEM analysis, and FT-IR spectroscopy. The electrical conductivity and the UV–visible spectroscopy of the nanocomposites were also investigated. In addition, the electrochemical properties were studied by cyclic voltammetry. (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The optimal ratio between α-Fe2O3 and poly(aniline)/HY was found to be 5 wt%. The specific capacitances of poly(aniline)/HY and nanocomposite were found to be be 630, and 1000 F g−1 respectively at a scan rate of 5 mV/s. Besides, the material possesses a high energy density of 88.88 Wh kg−1 and a maximum power density of 1632.3 W kg−1. These electrochemical results indicate that the PANI/HY/α-Fe2O3 nanocomposites is an attractive candidate for the application in the high-performance energy storage systems.

Highly stable zeolite HY/polypyrrole composite material was successfully fabricated by applying in-situ chemical polymerization approach. The functional properties of the prepared zeolite HY particles/polypyrrole were systematically inspected using XRD and FT-IR characterization techniques. Thermal stability and optical properties were consistently studied using TGA and UV–Vis spectroscopy techniques. The value of band gap energy (Eg) of the produced zeolite HY/polypyrrole nanocomposite was lower than the values of its individual components. Cyclic voltammetry studies concluded that HY/polypyrrole electrode material with mass ratio ~ 0.4 prepared at cold polymerization conditions ~ 0 °C exhibited the highest values of specific capacitance ~ 310 F g−1 and ionic conductivity ~ 1.7 S cm−1. The fabricated zeolite HY/polypyrrole composite material at 0 °C revealed a capacitance retention ~ 93.4%, while the other composite prepared at 25 °C possessed a capacitance retention ~ 72.4% after 500 charge/discharge cycles. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurement for the optimized composite electrode materials confirmed the cyclic stability after long term cycling of about 5000 cycles as a result of higher ionic conductivity between active material and ionic species than that value before cycling
Montmorillonite/Poly(Pyrrole) for Low-Cost Supercapacitor Electrode Hybrid Materials
(MDPI, 2024) Hamidouche, Fahim; Ghebache, Zohra; Lepretre, Jean-Claude; Djelali, Nacer-Eddine
Conductive polymers such as polypyrrole have been widely used as pseudo-capacitive electrodes for supercapacitors. This work demonstrates a simple method to improve the performance of conductive polymer electrodes by adding montmorillonite in order to perform capacitive behavior. Conductive composite polymers (CCPs) based on montmorillonite/polypyrrole (MMT/PPy(Cl)) have been synthesized by polymerization using FeCl3 as an oxidizing agent. During the preparation of CCP, the effect of MMT/pyrrole mass ratio and the influence of the amount of added H+ and temperature of the synthesis medium on the electrochemical performance of the composite have been investigated. The investigation associated with conductivity measurement allowed us to determine the best conditions to reach a high specific capacitance of 465 F gr−1 measured by cyclic voltammetry with respect to the CCP synthesized at ambient temperature (220 F gr−1) and a 35% increase in capacity compared to its homologue synthesized in neutral conditions at a low temperature. These performances have been advantageously correlated both to the edge acidity of the host material and to the evolution of its conductivity according to the preparation conditions. The galvanostatic charge/discharge tests also confirm the stability of the obtained composite, and a capacitance of 325 F g−1 for the best CCP is recorded with a regime of 1 A g−1. In addition, the durability of the device shows that the proposed material has a relatively good stability during cycling.
Study of the Influence of Metal Surface Quality on the Performance of an Epoxy Coating
(Elsevier, 2023) Boudieb, Naima; Bounoughaz, Moussa; Hamidouche, Fahim; Ghebache, Zohra
In the present work, an EC used for steel corrosion protection was characterized by Ec techniques. This study aimed to describe the effect of the steel roughness surface on the performance of EC, through EIS and other methods. The studied metal was a low-strength CS immersed in a 3.5% NaCl solution. The CS surface was obtained by polishing it (metal electrodes) with an abrasive paper of 120, 600 and 1200 mesh. Then, the electrodes were painted with an anti-corrosive EC, which contained Zn3 (PO4)2 as an anti-corrosion agent. The study of the influence of the CS surface Ra and its corrosion behaviour and of the evolution of the protective capacity systems on the EC performance was made by stationary (Ecorr and Tafel plot) and no-stationary Ec techniques (EIS and CA). In order to confirm the detachment and blistering on the coating, the coated CS samples were analyzed by a salt spray in a 7.69 % NaCl solution, with an IT of 15 days. The obtained results showed that the CS surface state directly influenced the coating performance and the Ec parameter values variation, as a function of IT in the NaCl solution. EIS was the most valid Ec method for the studied coatings.
