In this study, electrodes for supercapacitors were developed based on carbon obtained from cotton fibers (FC) and modified with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and polypyrrole (PPy). The electrodes were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and N2 adsorption/desorption analysis. The FC exhibited smooth carbon fiber morphology with negligible surface area. However, after modification with rGO, the fibers showed increased roughness and a significantly enhanced surface area of 607 m2 g-1. The modification with PPy resulted in cauliflower-like morphology films. Specific capacitance values were obtained through the analysis of cyclic voltammetry using a three-electrode cell. The scan rate was varied in the range of 5-250 mV s-1, in a 1.0 mol L-1 H2SO4 electrolyte, resulting in values of 153 and 320 F g-1 at 5 mV s-1 for FC and FC-rGO, respectively. This increase in capacitance is attributed to the improved conductive properties of the carbonaceous material when impregnated with rGO, which enhances the surface area. Further modification with PPy in FC-rGO significantly increased the specific capacitance to 743 F g-1 at 5 mV s-1, owing to the pseudocapacitive contribution of PPy. These results suggest that the synthesized materials are an interesting alternative as electrodes for supercapacitor applications.
