Abstract:
Lead dioxide is called the grandfather of all the coatings which are used to enhance the electrochemical properties of different metals. Lead dioxide based electrodes have high power density, discharge capacity about 140-230 mA h/g and high cycle life. Lead dioxide is being used as anodic electrode in lead acid batteries for hundred years ago.
Lignocelluloses are very abundant on earth, incorporation of these natural fibers and textile fibers convert the rigid electrodes into flexible electrodes. These are very useful to meet the demand of flexible and environmental friendly technology for the modern age.
This research shows that fabrication of lead dioxide and their composites with LC and textile fibers were successfully formed to report the lower chemical performance of direct deposition on LC and textile fibers.
X-ray diffraction tells about the crystalline shape, crystalline size and purity of the fabricated sample. SEM Results gives the information about the surface morphology of a simple powder and composite with LC fibers. Addition of LC and textile fibers makes the working electrode flexible, low cost and environmentally friendly for flexible energy storage applications. Electrochemical measurements were performed i.e. cyclic voltammetry and Galvanostatic charge/discharge.
