A dataset of conducting polymers synthesized by electropolymerization for electrochemical energy storage in aqueous electrolytes

Galvanostatic, potentiostatic or potentiodynamic methods are adopted during the electropolymerization. The energy storage performance of these films are evaluated using galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD) method at different active material mass-normalized current densities (1, 2, 3, 5, and 10 A g-1) in the potential window where no significant electrolyte decomposition happens.

Three electrode setup at room temperature is adopted, and the reference electrode is saturated calomel electrode. The counter electrode is a graphite rod. The electrolyte is 1 M H2SO4, 1 M or 2 M ZnSO4, 1 M (NH4)2SO4, 1 M KOH, or 2 M Zn(CF3SO3)2.
