Nano-thin polypyrrole (PPy) layers were coated on chemically modified ordered mesoporous carbon (m-CMK-3) by an in situ chemical polymerization. Structural and morphological characterizations of m-CMK-3/PPy composites were carried out using field emission scanning electron microscopy. Pseudo-capacitive behavior of the deposited PPy layers on m-CMK-3 was investigated by cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge-discharge and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. As results of this study, the thin layer of PPy in the composite electrode was effective to obtain fully reversible and very fast Faradaic reaction. A maximum discharge capacity of 427 F g−1 or 487 F g−1 after correcting for weight percent of PPy phase at the current density of 5 mA cm−2, could be achieved in a half-cell setup configuration for the m-CMK-3/PPy composites electrode, suggesting its potential application in electrode material for electrochemical capacitors. 相似文献

NiO/RuO2 composite materials were prepared for use in electrochemical capacitors (ECs) by co-precipitation method followed by heat treatment. X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra indicated that no new structural materials were formed and ruthenium oxide particles were coated by NiO particles. RuO2 partly introduced into NiO-based electrode had improved its electrochemical performance and capacitive properties by using electrochemical measurements. A maximum specific capacitance of 210 F/g was obtained for NiO-based composite electrode with 10 wt.% RuO2 in the voltage range from −0.4 to 0.5 V in 1 mol/l KOH solution. By comparison of effect of modified modes on the specific capacitance, chemically modified composite electrodes had more stable cycling properties than those of physically modified electrodes. After 200 cycles, specific capacitance of NiO-based chemical composite electrode with 5 wt.% RuO2 kept 95% above, while that of physical electrode was only 79% of initial specific capacitance. 相似文献

In this paper, nickel-cobalt oxides/carbon nanotube (CNT) composites were prepared by adding and thermally decomposing nickel and cobalt nitrates directly onto the surface of carbon nanotube/graphite electrode to form nickel and cobalt oxides. Carbon nanotubes used in this paper were grown directly on graphite substrate by chemical vapor deposition technique. The capacitive behavior of nickel-cobalt oxides/CNT electrode was investigated by cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge-discharge method in 1 M KOH aqueous solutions. The results show that nickel-cobalt oxides/CNT composite electrode has excellent charge-discharge cycle stability (0.2% and 3.6% losses of the specific capacitance are found at the 1000th and 2000th charge-discharge cycles, respectively) and good charge-discharge properties at high currrent density. Additionally, the effect of Ni/Co molar ratio on specific capacitance of the composite electrode was investigated and the highest specific capacitance (569 F g−1 at 10 mA cm−2) is obtained at Ni/Co molar ratio = 1:1. 相似文献

A ternary composite of CNT/polypyrrole/hydrous MnO2 is prepared by in situ chemical method and its electrochemical performance is evaluated by using cyclic voltammetry (CV), impedance measurement and constant-current charge/discharge cycling techniques. For comparative purpose, binary composites such as CNT/hydrous MnO2 and polypyrrole/hydrous MnO2 are prepared and also investigated for their physical and electrochemical performances. The specific capacitance (SC) values of the ternary composite, CNT/hydrous MnO2 and polypyrrole/hydrous MnO2 binary composites estimated by CV technique in 1.0 M Na2SO4 electrolyte are 281, 150 and 35 F g−1 at 20 mV s−1 and 209, 75 and 7 F g−1 at 200 mV s−1, respectively. The electrochemical stability of ternary composite electrode is investigated by switching the electrode back and forth for 10,000 times between 0.1 and 0.9 V versus Ag/AgCl at 100 mV s−1. The electrode exhibits good cycling stability, retaining up to 88% of its initial charge at 10,000th cycle. A full cell assembled with the ternary composite electrodes shows a SC value of 149 F g−1 at a current loading of 1.0 mA cm−2 during initial cycling, which decreased drastically to a value of 35 F g−1 at 2000th cycle. Analytical techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET) surface area measurement and inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) are also used to characterize the composite materials. 相似文献

In order to enhance specific capacitance and energy density of carbon-based supercapacitor, some nanometer-scale amorphous particles of nickel oxide were loaded into activated-carbon by suspending the activated-carbon in a Ni(NO3)2 solution followed by neutralization. A hybrid type electrochemical capacitor was made and tested, in which the activated-carbon loaded with nickel oxide was used as cathode material and activated-carbon was used as anode material. Although the BET surface area of the activated-carbon decreased upon nickel oxide loading compared to that of the starting material, its specific capacitance increased 10.84%, from 175.40 to 194.01 F g−1 and the potential of oxygen evolution on the composite material electrode was 0.076 V higher than that of the pure activated-carbon electrode, in the electrolyte of 6 mol/L KOH solution, so the hybrid capacitor had larger energy density. Similar to the pure activated-carbon electrode, no obvious change appears on the specific capacitances of the composite material electrode at various discharge currents and the composite material electrode exhibiting good power characteristics. 相似文献

This work demonstrates a novel and facile route for preparing graphene-based composites comprising of metal oxide nanoparticles and graphene. A graphene nanosheet-bismuth oxide composite as electrode materials of supercapacitors was firstly synthesized by thermally treating the graphene-bismuth composite, which was obtained through simultaneous solvothermal reduction of the colloidal dispersions of negatively charged graphene oxide sheets in N,N-dimethyl formamide (DMF) solution of bismuth cations at 180 °C. The morphology, composition, and microstructure of the composites together with pure graphite oxide, and graphene were characterized using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), FT-IR, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), thermogravimetry and differential thermogravimetry (TG-DTG). The electrochemical behaviors were measured by cyclic voltammogram (CV), galvanostatic charge-discharge and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The specific capacitance of 255 F g−1 (based on composite) is obtained at a specific current of 1 A g−1 as compared with 71 F g−1 for pure graphene. The loaded-bismuth oxide achieves a specific capacitance as high as 757 F g−1 even at 10 A g−1. In addition, the graphene nanosheet-bismuth oxide composite electrode exhibits the excellent rate capability and well reversibility. 相似文献

We show in this work that template electrodeposition of nickel at room temperature from a nickel sulphamate bath prepared in a new hexagonal liquid crystalline phase of water-Triton X-100-poly (acrylic acid) results in a highly porous surface. The roughness factor value of about 3620 obtained for this coating is the highest value reported in the literature for any electrodeposited nickel. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) pictures show the formation of porous deposit with granular features in between the pores. The single electrode double layer capacitance value measured for the deposit is 338 mF cm−2, which translates into a specific capacitance of 50 F g−1 without any post-thermal treatment of the electrode, suggesting its utility in super capacitors. Electrochemical studies using cyclic voltammetry (CV), Tafel plots and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and comparison of these results with some existing high surface area Ni catalysts show that the material has potential application as an excellent hydrogen evolving cathode. 相似文献

La-doped NiO nanofibers were synthesized by the electrospinning method. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern showed that La doping does not change the crystal structure up to the doping ratio of La/Ni=1.5%. Electrochemical properties of La-doped NiO nanofibers were investigated using cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge/discharge. The results showed that the La doping can enhance the charge/discharge specific capacitance and electrochemical stability of the NiO nanofibers. Especially, the sample with doping ratio of La/Ni=1.5% could reach a discharge specific capacitance of 94.85 F g−1 at a constant current density of 5 mA cm−2. 相似文献

A series of CuO-doped activated carbons (CDACs) were prepared by chemical deposition. The electrochemical behavior of CDACs was investigated in electrochemical capacitors based on ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium thiocyanate ([EMIm]SCN) as electrolyte. The results indicated that a diffusion-controlling, reversible redox reaction of CuO particles happened in ionic liquid and porous carbon. When the amount of CuO-doped activated carbon with a specific surface area of 2460 m2 g−1 reached 2%, the single electrode average specific capacitance can reach the maximal value of 210 F g−1, about 20% higher than the one used pure activated carbon as electrode material. 相似文献

In this paper, for the first time, Ni/Al layered double hydroxides (LDHs) with high specific surface area and high porosity were developed via a facile and environmentally friendly solvothermal approach. The obtained Ni/Al LDHs have a diameter of 1-10 μm, which are self-assembled by 15 nm-sized primary particles and 200 nm size secondary particles. The BET surface area of the sample is determined to about 300 m2 g−1, which is about three times than that prepared by conventional hydrothermal route. The average pore size is 3.97 nm. Notedly, the specific capacitance of this hierarchical porous Ni/Al LDHs reaches 477 F g−1 at a current density of 2.5 A g−1, which is nearly double that of Ni/Al LDHs synthesized by conventional hydrothermal procedure. The capacitance loss is less than 5% after 400 charge-discharge cycles, suggesting the high potential as electrode materials in electrochemical capacitors. The formation mechanism of self-assembled hierarchical porous Ni/Al LDHs through solvothermal method was also proposed. 相似文献

In this work, we developed a simple and cost-effective approach to prepare the hierarchical NiO/CuO nanocomposite without any surfactant. The morphology and structure of the hybrid nanostructure was examined by focus ion beam scanning electron microscopy (FIB/SEM), X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Furthermore, the electrochemical properties of the hierarchical NiO/CuO nanocomposite electrodes were elucidated by cyclic voltammograms, galvanostatic charge/discharge tests and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in 6 M KOH electrolyte. The electrochemical results demonstrated that this unique NiO/CuO nanostructure exhibited a specific capacitance of 280 F g−1 and excellent cycling stability (91.4% retention after 3000 cycles). The remarkable electrochemical performance coupled with the facile synthesis of the hierarchical NiO/CuO nanocomposite indicated the great application potential in supercapacitors. 相似文献

A novel electrochemical route to fabricate ordered mesoporous metal oxide film electrodes has been investigated with particular reference to nickel oxide. Ordered mesoporous nickel oxide films are successfully synthesized by templated electrodeposition of HI-e nickel hydroxide and followed by heat-treatment in air at various temperatures. The films are characterized physically by thermogravimetry (TG), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The applicability of this film as inexpensive and high-performance supercapacitor electrode material is demonstrated by the electrochemical characterization using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronopotentiometry technique. The specific capacitance of the nickel oxide film depends on the annealing temperature, showing a maximum value of 590 F g−1 when the as-deposited film is heat-treated at 250 °C for 1.5 h. 相似文献

Nano-thin polypyrrole (PPy) layers with thickness from ∼5 nm to several 10s nm were deposited on vapor grown carbon fibers (VGCF) by an in situ chemical polymerization. Using different concentrations of the pyrrole could control the thicknesses of deposited PPy layers. Surface morphology and thickness of the deposited PPy layers were confirmed by means of scanning electron microscopy and scanning transmission emission microscopy. Pseudo-capacitive behavior of the deposited PPy layers on VGCF investigated by means of cyclic voltammetry. Then, the PPy/VGCF composites were mixed with activated carbons (AC) at various mixing ratios. For the PPy/VGCF/AC composite electrodes, characteristics of specific capacitance and power capability were examined by half-cell tests. As results of this study, it was investigated that nano-thin PPy layer below ∼10 nm deposited on VGCF had high pseudo-capacitance and fast reversibility. Its specific capacitance per averaged weight of active material (PPy) was obtained as ∼588 F g−1 at 30 mV s−1 and maintained as ∼550 F g−1 at 200 mV s−1 of scan rate. Also, from the mixing 60 wt.% of the PPy/VGCF with 25 wt.% of AC, the PPy/VGCF/AC composite electrode exhibited higher power capability maintaining the specific capacitance per active materials of PPy and AC as ∼300 F g−1 at 200 mV s−1 in 6 M KOH. 相似文献

Nickel oxide thin films known as optical active counter electrode in electrochromic devices were grown by Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) at room temperature (RT) under a 10−1 mbar oxygen pressure. From intense electrochemical characterizations of as-deposited NiO electrodes in alkaline medium, a mechanism taking into account the three typical steps of their cycling life, namely the activation period, the steady state and the degradation period, is proposed. The reversible color change from transparent to brownish, generally ascribed to the Ni(II)/Ni(III) couple in the literature, was clearly identified to the electrochemically active nickel hydroxide/oxy-hydroxide phases. The reason lies in a spontaneous chemical conversion of NiO into Ni(OH)2 when the film is immersed in KOH medium. Afterwards, once cycling is performed, there is in competition with the electrochemical process, a self-discharge phenomenon associated to a partial dissolution of the thin-film oxidized phases. This second process becomes predominant on cycling leading to a progressive degradation of the electrochromic performances. 相似文献

A novel electrochemical methanol sensor based on a catalytic electrode of palladium-nickel/silicon nanowires (Pd-Ni/SiNWs) is presented in this paper. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and electrochemical methods are employed to investigate the Pd-Ni/SiNWs electrode materials. These nanocomposite materials exhibit a highly ordered, wire-like structure with a wire length of ∼50 μm and a wire diameter ranging from 100 to 300 nm. The substrate has good electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of methanol in alkaline solutions. The performances of the prototype sensor are characterized by cyclic voltammetry and fixed potential amperometry techniques. In a 1 mol L−1 KOH solution containing different methanol concentrations, the sensor exhibits a good sensitivity of 1.96 mA mmol−1 L cm−2 with R2 = 0.99 and the corresponding detection limit of 18 μmol L−1 (signal-to-noise ratio = 3, S/N = 3) for cyclic voltammetry. Meanwhile, the electrode also displays a sensitivity of 0.48 mA mmol−1 L cm−2 with R2 = 0.98 and the corresponding detection limit of 25 μmol L−1 (S/N = 3) for a fixed potential amperometry at −0.3 V versus an Ag/AgCl reference electrode. The results demonstrate that the Pd-Ni/SiNWs catalytic electrode has potential as an efficient and integrated sensor for methanol detection. 相似文献

Fast and reversible surface redox reaction of graphene-MnO2 composites as supercapacitor electrodes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We present a quick and easy method to synthesize graphene-MnO2 composites through the self-limiting deposition of nanoscale MnO2 on the surface of graphene under microwave irradiation. These nanostructured graphene-MnO2 hybrid materials are used for investigation of electrochemical behaviors. Graphene-MnO2 composite (78 wt.% MnO2) displays the specific capacitance as high as 310 F g−1 at 2 mV s−1 (even 228 F g−1 at 500 mV s−1), which is almost three times higher than that of pure graphene (104 F g−1) and birnessite-type MnO2 (103 F g−1). Interestingly, the capacitance retention ratio is highly kept over a wide range of scan rates (88% at 100 mV s−1 and 74% at 500 mV s−1). The improved high-rate electrochemical performance may be attributed to the increased electrode conductivity in the presence of graphene network, the increased effective interfacial area between MnO2 and the electrolyte, as well as the contact area between MnO2 and graphene. 相似文献

We have studied the effect of nickel oxide (NiO) on the sintering of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) at temperatures from 1100 to 1400 °C. Differences in the densification behaviour were observed between the direct use of NiO powders and Ni metal as precursor. Our results show that with the addition of Ni into YSZ, sintering was completed at 1300 °C instead of 1400 °C, a 100 °C reduction. The addition of Ni also increased the shrinkage rate at 1200 °C from −0.29×10−6 s−1 to −0.46×10−6 s−1. Young's modulus of the samples heat treated at 1200 °C measured by microindentation also increased from 26 GPa for YSZ to 65 or 191 GPa for YSZ plus NiO or Ni, respectively. Addition of NiO or Ni also stabilised the cubic phase and promoted grain growth in YSZ during sintering. 相似文献

Graphene nanosheets (GNSs) with narrow mesopore distribution around 4 nm were mass-produced from natural graphite via the oxidation and rapid heating processes. The effects of oxidant addition on the morphology, structure and electrochemical performance of GNSs as electrode materials for electric double-layer capacitor (EDLC) were systematically investigated. The electrochemical properties of EDLC were influenced by the specific surface area, pore characteristics, layer stacking and oxygen-containing functional group contents of electrode materials. Deeper oxidation makes graphite possess both higher specific surface area and more graphene edges, which are favorable for the enhancement of capacitive performance of EDLC. The electrodes with freestanding graphene nanosheets prepared by coating method exhibited good rate capability and reversibility at high scan rates (to 250 mV s−1) in electrochemical performances. GNS electrode with specific surface area of 524 m2 g−1 maintained a stable specific capacitance of 150 F g−1 under specific current of 0.1 A g−1 for 500 cycles of charge/discharge. 相似文献

The SiMn-graphite composite powder was prepared by mechanical ball milling and its electrochemical performances were evaluated as the candidate anode materials for lithium ion batteries. It is found that the cyclic performance of the composite materials is improved significantly compared to SiMn alloy and pure silicon. The heat treatment of the electrodes is beneficial for enhancing the cyclic stabilities. The SiMn-20 wt.% graphite composite electrode after annealing at 200 °C has an initial reversible capacity of 463 mAh g−1 and a charge-discharge efficiency of 70%. Moreover, the reversible capacity maintains 426 mAh g−1 after 30 cycles with a coulomb efficiency of over 97%. The phase structure and morphology of the composite were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy. The lithiation/delithiation behavior was investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry. The composite materials appear to be promising candidates as negative electrodes for lithium rechargeable batteries. 相似文献

Poly(o-aminophenol) (POAP) was formed by successive cyclic voltammetry in monomer solution in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) on the surface of a carbon paste electrode. The electrochemical behavior of the SDS-POAP carbon paste electrode has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry in 0.5 M HClO4 and 5 mM K4[Fe(CN)6]/0.1 M KCl solutions as the supporting electrolyte and model system, respectively. Ni(II) ions were incorporated into the electrode by immersion of the polymeric modified electrode having amine groups in 0.1 M Ni(II) ion solution. Cyclic voltammetric and chronoamperometric experiments were used for the electrochemical study of this modified electrode. A good redox behavior of the Ni(III)/Ni(II) couple at the surface of electrode can be observed. The electrocatalytic oxidations of methanol and ethylene glycol (EG) at the surface of the Ni/SDS-POAP electrode were studied in a 0.1 M NaOH solution. Compared to bare carbon paste and POAP-modified carbon paste electrodes, the SDS-POAP electrode significantly enhanced the catalytic efficiency of Ni ions for methanol oxidation. Finally, using a chronoamperometric method, the catalytic rate constants (k) for methanol and ethylene glycol were found to be 2.04 × 105 and 1.05 × 107 cm3 mol−1 s−1, respectively. 相似文献
