Abstract

Supercapacitors are an interesting energy storage technology to be studied. This research uses mesoporous BaFe12O19 particles and Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) polymers that have been synthesized as materials to obtain supercapacitors that have high performance. The synthesis carried out using the co-precipitation chemical method with a calcination process at 200oC and has a variation in the composition of BaFe12O19-PVDF material with a mass ratio of barium chloride: natural iron sand: PVDF, namely 6:4:0, 4:4:2, 3:4:3, 2:4:4, 0:4:6. Then characterization was carried out including: morphological properties and particle size using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy diffraction X-ray (EDX). Furthermore, to determine the structure of the material using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR). The electrochemical properties of the material were investigated using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and galvanostatic charge/discharge (GCD). The result of the fabricated material is that the grains have been distributed with the average particle size of each sample ranging from 180-185 nm. Then has the highest peak in crystals with miller index (114) and (311). Furthermore, it has the main functional groups, namely Ba-O and C=C with wave numbers 1640.00 cm-1 and 1632.00 cm-1. And finally has the highest specific capacitance value of 1.77 F/g with an area of 0.51255 mVA, then the highest energy density at a value of 8.608 Wh/kg and the highest power density value at a value of 195.940 W/kg. The optimum composition obtained is 2:4:4 which can be applied as a candidate electrode for supercapacitors.
