This integrated separator and electrolyte layer is made up of a filter paper, a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) doped with phosphoric acid at three different concentrations. The electrode material consisted of 90 % of the said carbon nanotubes and 10 % of Poly (Vinylidene Fluoride-Co-Hexafluoropropylene) (PVdF-HFP). Three cells were then assembled as follows; cell-A (N90PVdF-HFP10 |H50| N90PVdF-HFP10), cell-B (N90PVdF-HFP10 |H60| N90PVdF-HFP10) and cell-C (N90PVdF-HFP10 |H70| N90PVdF-HFP10). These as-assembled symmetric supercapacitor with an optimal mass ratio was able to be operated reversibly over a wide voltage range of 0.0–3.0 V, depending on the cell-type. Overall, the supercapacitor fabricated from cell A exhibits excellent rate capability with a capacitance, energy and power densities of 163.66 Fg?1, 822.00 Jg?1 and 5.38 Jg?1s?1 respectively, and long-term cycling stability of 5000 cycles.en-USmultiwalled carbon nanotubes, Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) Analysis, Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), Charge Discharge (CD), Hybrid Solid Polymer Electrolyte (HSPE)Article132134
