The measured capacitance, modulus and strength of carbon nanotube-polyaniline(CNT-PANI) composite electrodes render them promising candidates for structuralenergy storage devices. Here, CNT-PANI composite electrodes are manufacturedwith electrodeposition of PANI onto the bundle network of CNT mats produced viaa floating catalyst chemical vapour deposition process. PANI comprises 0% to30% by volume of the electrode. The composition, modulus, strength andcapacitance of the electrodes is measured in the initial state, after the firstcharge, and after 1000 charge/discharge cycles. Electrode modulus and strengthincrease with increasing CNT volume fraction; in contrast, the capacitanceincreases with increasing PANI mass. Charging or cycling reduce the electrodemodulus and strength due to a decrease in CNT bundle volume fraction caused byswelling; the electrode capacitance also decreases due to a reduction in PANImass. A micromechanical model is able to predict the stress-strain response ofpre-charged and cycled electrodes, based upon their measured composition afterpre-charging and cycling. The electrodes possess up to 63% of their theoreticalcapacitance, and their tensile strengths are comparable to those of engineeringalloys. Their capacitance and strength decrease by less than 15% after theapplication of 1000 charge/discharge cycles. These properties illustrate theirpotential as structural energy storage devices.
