Investigation of Halogenated Metallic Phthalocyanine (InPcCl and F

In this work, we report on the fabrication of a novel Organic Double-Layer Supercapacitor (ODLSC) using recycled palm as the substrate and electrodes based on halogenated indium and copper phthalocyanines. The electrodes were characterized using Reflectance, the Kulbeka-Munk function, and Fluorescence. Finally, their electrical behavior was evaluated, and the results were compared with those obtained for a more conventional supercapacitor fabricated on polyethylene terephthalate substrate and using indium tin oxide film for electrodes. Based on the experimental measurements of the fabricated ODLSC, the parameter identification of the classical equivalent circuit model was carried out using the Least Squares of Orthogonal Distances (LSOD) algorithm. The results indicated that the palm supercapacitor exhibited behavior more like that of traditional supercapacitors, as the root square mean error (RMSE) values in the model approximation of the experimental data were in the order of 10-7. Furthermore, the models obtained allowed a determination of the device's Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), revealing that the Palm SC-T1 exhibited capacitive behavior. In contrast, the manufactured Palm SC-T2, PET SC-T1, and PET SC-T2 devices exhibited inductive behavior. All the materials used in this work, such as the substrates, electrodes, separator membranes, and electrolytes, have a high potential to be used in organic supercapacitors.
