Abstract

Polypyrrole-coated samarium oxide nanobelts were synthesized by the in situ chemical oxidative surface polymerization technique based on the self-assembly of pyrrole on the surface of the amine-functionalized Sm₂O₃ nanobelts. The morphologies of the polypyrrole/samarium oxide (PPy/Sm₂O₃) nanocomposites were characterized using transmission electron microscope. The UV–vis absorbance of these samples was also investigated, and the remarkable enhancement was clearly observed. The electrochemical behaviors of the PPy/Sm₂O₃ composites were investigated by cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and galvanostatic charge–discharge. The results indicated that the PPy/Sm₂O₃ composite electrode was fully reversible and achieved a very fast Faradaic reaction. After being corrected into the weight percentage of the PPy/Sm₂O₃ composite at a current density of 20 mA cm⁻² in a 1.0 M NaNO₃ electrolyte solution, a maximum discharge capacity of 771 F g⁻¹ was achieved in a half-cell setup configuration for the PPy/Sm₂O₃ composites electrode with the potential application to electrode materials for electrochemical capacitors.
