Supercapacitors fill the gap between batteries and conventional solid state and electrolytic capacitors. Polypyrrole (PPy) is a very important electrode material for supercapacitors. However, the repeated volume changes usually damage PPy structure and result in PPy poor stability during a long-term charging/discharging process. PPy/carbon material composites were prepared to overcome the defects of pure PPy electrodes, and significant enhancement for the specific capacitance, charging/discharging rate and electrodes stability was demonstrated thereafter. The development of composite electrodes based on PPy and carbon materials is reviewed in this paper.
