Polyvinyl alcohol(PVA)-sodium polyacrylate(PAAS)-KOH-H2O alkaline polymer electrolyte film with high ionic conductivity was prepared by a solution-casting method.Polymer Ni(OH)2/activated carbon(AC) hybrid supercapacitors with different electrode active material mass ratios(positive to negative) were fabricated using this alkaline polymer electrolyte,nickel hydroxide positive electrodes,and AC negative electrodes.Galvanostatic charge/discharge and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS) methods were used to study the electrochemical performance of the capacitors,such as charge/discharge specific capacitance,rate charge/discharge ability,and charge/discharge cyclic stability.Experimental results showed that with the decreasing of active material mass ratio m(Ni(OH)2)/m(AC),the charge/discharge specific capacitance increases,but the rate charge/discharge ability and the charge/discharge cyclic stability decrease.
