文摘Flexible electrochemical capacitors（ECs） are vitally important as the emerging flexible electronics.We have prepared polypyrrole doped with counter ion of Cl-on carbon fibers（PPy-Cl/CFs） via the simple electrochemical deposition method.The flexible ECs based on PPy-Cl/CFs electrodes have been assembled by using H_3PO_4/poly（vinyl alcohol）（PVA）,H_2SO_4/PVA,LiClO_4/PVA,KCl/PVA and Li Cl/PVA as gel electrolytes.The capacitive properties of ECs have been systematically evaluated with electrochemical methods.The results show that the cells with H_3PO_4/PVA electrolyte exhibit good cyclic stability（91.5% retention after 15000 cycles） although PPy-Cl/CFs has moderate specific capacitance in H_3PO_4/PVA（41.6 m F·cm^-1 or 52.0 F·cm^-3）.However,the ECs in other electrolytes have poor cyclic stability.Further electrochemical analysis reveals that the doping/dedoping processes of PPy-Cl/CFs are different in the five electrolytes,and X-ray photoelectron spectra demonstrate that the ratios of counter anions in PPy＇s oxidized states to those in reduced states are obviously different when PPy-Cl/CFs are kept in reduced or oxidized states in the five electrolytes.The results also illustrate why the capacitors using H_3PO_4/PVA as electrolyte exhibit good cyclic stability.Furthermore,a light emitting diode（LED） with a threshold voltage of 2.5 V can be lighted by three ECs connected in series.
