Printed fabric supercapacitor

Nowadays flexible, light weight and wearable microelectronic device has received many interests due to increasing demand in modern society. To power up such device, integrated energy storage device based on wearable martial like textile are important. This thesis outline a wearable supercapacitor device based on normal textile martial via simple “dipping and hand printing” process using carbon paste. The textile carbon electrode achieves resistivity of 22.9 Ωcm-2 with good uniformity profile of carbon compounds. Supercapacitor made by these electrodes gives high areal capacitance of 0.246Fcm-2 with Specific capacitance over 100 Fg-1. These conductive textiles are able to give new possibility for wearable electronics and energy storage devices
