title: Performance of SLS/MWCNTs/PANI capacitor electrodes in a physiological electrolyte and in serum.
abstract: We report a stainless steel/multi walled carbon nanotubes/polyaniline (SLS/MWCNTs/PANI) capacitor electrode capable of operating in a physiological electrolyte and in serum. The specific capacitance of SLS/MWCNTs/PANI reaches 401 F g(-1) in the physiological electrolyte and 326 F g(-1) in serum. The capacity loss at 6.4 μA mm(-2) over 2000 cycles is 10% in the physiological electrolyte and 21% in serum.
