Abstract:
Polyphenols from green tea were used to electrolessly deposit gold on silk cocoons (SCs) and nanoporous aluminum oxide (AAO) templates. The gold coated cocoons were used as electrodes in supercapacitors and showed a capacitance as high as 254 F g(-1) and a specific power of 2287 W kg(-1). A metal coated AAO template was used for molecular separation.
