Wet-spun single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) fibres for electrical energy storage.

该项目的目标是探索替代目前在结构电源应用中使用的传统叠层超级电容器设备的体系结构。纤维状结构原则上可以提高速率性能，但需要开发以最大限度地提高导电性和电化学活性。该项目将专注于制备湿法碳纳米管纤维，并评估其作为电能储存电极的可行性。将特别关注这些纤维的电容性能，通过掺杂伪电容材料将进一步改善这一性能。整个设备将被组装，并将功率/能量密度与层叠结构进行比较

The objective of this project is to explore alternative architectures to the conventional laminate supercapacitors devices currently employed in structural power applications. Fibre-shaped architectures in principle, can have improved rate performance but development is needed to maximise the electrical conductivity and electrochemical activity. This project will focus on fabricating wet-spun SWCNT fibres and assessing their viability as electrodes for electrical energy storage. Particular focus will be paid to the capacitive performance of these fibres, which will be further improved through doping of pseudocapacitive materials. Whole devices will be assembled and the power/energy densities will be compared to that of laminated architectures
