Abstract

One of most difficult technical barriers for developing solid-state supercapacitors is low ionic conductivity of the polymer electrolyte at low temperature below the freezing point and at room temperature. In this work, a method which incorporates the addition of a small quantity of K4Fe(CN)6/K3Fe(CN)6 mediators in the PVDF-LiTFS polymer electrolyte membrane was used to achieve high conductivity at ?20
