  text: Development of electroactive materials exhibiting high performance with superior
    stability is crucial in the field of supercapacitors and battery research. We
    report on synthesis of highly stable composite of semi-polycrystalline polyaniline
    and graphene (SPani-graphene) and its application in supercapacitor electrodes.
    The electrochemical behavior and device performance of the electrodes were investigated
    through cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge-discharge GCD) and electrochemical
    impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in a 3-electrode and a 2-electrode (device) cell
    configurations, repectively. The cell specific capacitance (Cell Csp) achieved
    from the 2-electrode symmetric cell configuration was 525.5 F g−1 at 0.1 A g−1
    using polymer gel electrolyte (PGE). The PGE in this work is xanthan gum jellied
    in 1 M aq. Na2SO4. The maximum energy density and power density achieved from
    the device was 46.7 Wh kg−1 and 16.16 kW kg−1, respectively, at 0.4 A g−1. Furthermore,
    the device exhibits an excellent retention of cell specific capacitance and coulombic
    efficiency of 97 % and 94 %, respectively, over 10,000 continuous GCD cycles,
    indicating an excellent rate capability as well as a promising power management.
    To investigate the material's electrochemical durability, a detailed EIS study
    has been carried out using both, 3-electrode, and 2-electrode cell configurations,
    before and after long cycling test (over 10,000 continuous GCD cycles). Our thorough
    experimentation delivers satisfactory results and has been explained in detail
    in the manuscript. Hereby, we propose that the EIS technique can be adopted for
    investigating materials' electrochemical stability, in addition to long CV and
    GCD cycles in the field of supercapacitors and battery research.
