Electrochemical properties by normalized areal measurement
Figure S2. Areal capacitance of all textile electrodes In order to express electrochemical properties with normalized electrode area, cyclic voltammetry and charge-discharge test were performed. Fig. 1S show the results of electrochemical property normalized by the area of the electrode. The areal energy capacitance showed a positive correlation with the mass of active materials normalized energy capacitance. The highest areal energy capacitance was measured to be 38.3mF/cm2 of the polypyrrole, MnO2 coated CNT-cotton electrode (PMCCT), MnO2 coated CNT-cotton electrode (MCCT), and CNT-cotton electrode (MCCT) were measured to 38.3mF/cm2, 29.7mF/cm2 and 12.1mF/cm2, respectively.
