  abstract     = {We developed in-situ engineered polycrystalline polythiophene (PTh) and its composite with reduced graphene oxide (PTh-rGO) via a simple chemical synthesis. The PTh-rGO-based electrodes in a symmetrical device with xanthan gum in 1 M aq. Na2SO4 as an electrolyte, delivers a specific capacitance (Csp) of 114.7 F g–1 (electrode) and 28.7 F g–1 (cell) at an applied current density of 0.2 A g−1. The maximum energy and power densities recorded from the device were 588.0 mWh kg−1 and 1.1 kW kg−1 at 1.5 A g−1. The device exhibited a remarkable retention of Csp of 98.9 % over 10,000 continuous galvanostatic charge–discharge cycles highlighting an excellent performance. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis emphasizes material’s excellent structural integrity. This is attributed to the crystalline phases present in the matrix.},

  abstract     = {We report on synthesis of highly crystalline polythiophene and its application in supercapacitor electrodes. The material exhibits a remarkably stable electrochemical behavior and an excellent device performance. The device delivers an electrode specific capacitance (Csp) of 129.13F g−1, Cell Csp of 32.28F g−1 at 0.5 A/g; energy, and power densities of ∼ 3 Wh kg−1 and 250 W kg -1, respectively at 0.5 A/g. Also, it exhibits an excellent retention of Cell Csp and coulombic efficiency up to ∼ 95 % over 10,000 continuous galvanostatic charge discharge (GCD) cycles indicating a remarkable performance by a standalone, pristine and undoped polythiophene. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) studies further suggest material’s stable capacitive behavior. The material’s enhanced electrochemical properties, stable behavior and outstanding performance in device application are attributed to the crystalline phases present in the polymer matrix achievable via a slow rate of synthesis; overall, an edge over other conventional synthesis methods.},
