A Nonaqueous Asymmetric Hybrid Li4Ti5 O 12 / Poly(fluorophenylthiophene) Energy Storage Device

An asymmetric hybrid energy storage device has been built using a lithium titanate intercalation anode and the pseudocapacitive electronically conducting polymer poly(fluorophenythiophene). Results show that the device operates in the power range of electrochemical double-layer capacitors, while having three to four times their energy density, and a voltage profile and self-discharge characteristics typical of a battery. The cycle life is also intermediate between that of a battery and a supercapacitor, in the range of several thousands of cycles.
