Popis: In this study, a flexible hybrid film based on single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) was fabricated. The SWNTs@MnO 2 /Polypyrrole (PPy) film was used as a supercapacitor electrode without binders to achieve high capacitance. The binder-free electrode with SWNT and PPy layers improved the conductivity of the electrode materials, as well as the ion diffusion rate and charge-transfer resistance, thus achieving excellent electrochemical performance compared with SWNTs@MnO 2 electrodes. The specific capacity was 351 F g −1 based on the total weight of the electrodes with energy density of 39.7 Wh kg −1 and power density of 10 kW kg −1 . Our study could provide a novel and facile strategy for the development of high-performance energy storage devices.
