Abstract

This investigation describes the synthesis, electrospinning, and characterization of melamine-glutaraldehyde (MAGA) polymer composites with polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) for supercapacitors applications. Electrospun fibers are generated by combining the MAGA polymer with PMMA at varying concentrations (2.5 %, 5 %, and 10 wt%). The synthesis of the polymer, its morphological attributes, and structural features are validated by characterization methods e.g., XRD, TEM, SEM, and FT-IR. In a three-electrode configuration, the electrochemical performances of the prepared electrodes are assessed using cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCDC), and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV). The results suggest that the 5 % MAGA-PMMA composite has a specific capacitance of 1377.5 F/g at a current density of 1 A/g, as well as exceptional recyclability and a higher charge storage efficiency, retaining 98 % of its capacitance after 7000 cycles. The results emphasize the potential of MAGA-PMMA nanofibers as electrode materials for energy storage applications, such as supercapacitors, devoid of solvents and binders that are required for conventional method of electrodes preparation
