Capacitive Charge Storage of Tetraphenylporphyrin Sulfonate- CNT Composite Electrodes

Abstract A tetraphenylporphyrin sulfonate-carbon nanotube (TPPS-CNT) composite was developed and characterized for capacitive charge storage. Density functional theory (DFT) simulations suggested that the adsorption of TPPS on CNT was energetically favored with a strong contribution of the sulfonate groups. The composite electrodes, with a
