The synthesis of conducting polymers and their metal oxide or composites have been carried out chemically or electrochemically according to methods modified from the literature. Layer-by-layer construction of nano-Metal Oxide/PSSA doped polyaniline composites were successfully constructed by electroanalytical methods on the surface of a glassy carbon working electrode (GCE).enPolyanilinePoly-4-styrene sulfonic acidTin dioxide (SnO2)Titanium dioxide (TiO2)SupercapacitorsElectrochemical impedanceCyclic voltammetryElectropolymerizationConducting polymersGalvanostatic charge-dischargeGlassy carbon electrodeThesisUniversity of the Western Cape
