Highly amorphous PbO2 as an electrode in hybrid electrochemical capacitors

This paper presents a synthesis and characterizes highly amorphous lead dioxide and its use in hybrid electrochemical capacitor C/PbO₂. Highly amorphous lead dioxide with a small amount of β-PbO₂ was synthesized by galvanostatic deposition from acetate solution. The hybrid supercapacitor was constructed with PbO₂ as the positive electrode whereas activated carbon as the negative electrode. The morphology of materials was examined by scanning electron microscopy and their structure was characterized by means of an X-ray diffraction technique. The electrochemical performance of hybrid electrochemical capacitor with synthesized PbO₂ was studied by cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge/discharge and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. To indicate that the amorphous form of lead dioxide was predominant, results were compared to highly crystalline β-PbO₂. The hybrid electrochemical capacitor with synthesized material exhibits a much greater specific capacitance, higher specific energy and power than the highly crystalline one. The specific capacitance values obtained for the supercapacitor rose more than twice in favour of amorphous PbO₂. Also, long cycling did not influence any of the electrochemical properties of this hybrid electrochemical capacitor, which makes it an interesting energy storage device.     

MgO-templated carbon as a negative electrode material for Na-ion capacitors

In this study, MgO-templated carbon with different pore structures was investigated as a negative electrode material for Na-ion capacitors. With increasing the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area, the irreversible capacity increased, and the coulombic efficiency of the 1st cycle decreased because of the formation of solid electrolyte interface layers. MgO-templated carbon annealed at 1000 °C exhibited the highest capacity and best rate performance, suggesting that an appropriate balance between surface area and crystallinity is imperative for fast Na-ion storage, attributed to the storage mechanism: combination of non-faradaic electric double-layer capacitance and faradaic Na intercalation in the carbon layers. Finally, a Na-ion capacitor cell using MgO-templated carbon and activated carbon as the negative and positive electrodes, respectively, exhibited an energy density at high power density significantly greater than that exhibited by the cell using a commercial hard carbon negative electrode.     

Controllable Formation of Niobium Nitride/Nitrogen‐Doped Graphene Nanocomposites as Anode Materials for Lithium‐Ion Capacitors

Niobium nitride/nitrogen‐doped graphene nanosheet hybrid materials are prepared by a simple hydrothermal method combined with ammonia annealing and their electrochemical performance is reported. It is found by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) that the as‐obtained niobium nitride nanoparticles are about 10–15 nm in size and homogeneously anchored on graphene. A non‐aqueous lithium‐ion capacitor is fabricated with an optimized mass loading of activated carbon cathode and the niobium nitride/nitrogen‐doped graphene nanosheet anode, which delivers high energy densities of 122.7–98.4 W h kg^?1 at power densities of 100–2000 W kg^?1, respectively. The capacity retention is 81.7% after 1000 cycles at a current density of 500 mA g^?1. The high energy and power of this hybrid capacitor bridges the gap between conventional high specific energy lithium‐ion batteries and high specific power electrochemical capacitors, which holds great potential applications in energy storage for hybrid electric vehicles.     

Pseudo-capacitive properties of LiCoO<Subscript>2</Subscript>/AC electrochemical capacitor in various aqueous electrolytes

LiCoO₂ particles were synthesized by a sol-gel process. X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the prepared sample is a single phase with layered structure. A hybrid electrochemical capacitor was fabricated with LiCoO₂ as a positive electrode and activated carbon (AC) as a negative electrode in various aqueous electrolytes. Pseudo-capacitive properties of the LiCoO₂/AC electrochemical capacitor were determined by cyclic voltammetry, charge–discharge test, and electrochemical impedance measurement. The charge storage mechanism of the LiCoO₂-positive electrode in aqueous electrolyte was discussed, too. The results showed that the potential range, scan rate, species of aqueous electrolyte, and current density had great effect on capacitive properties of the hybrid capacitor. In the potential range of 0–1.4 V, it delivered a discharge specific capacitance of 45.9 Fg^–1 (based on the active mass of the two electrodes) at a current density of 100 mAg^–1 in 1 molL^–1 Li₂SO₄ aqueous electrolyte. The specific capacitance remained 41.7 Fg^–1 after 600 cycles.     

Carbon–ionic liquid double-layer capacitors

A series of electrochemical capacitors, based on activated carbon powders (ACP, specific surface area 870 and 2600 m²/g) and ionic liquids as electrolytes, were prepared and tested. The ionic liquids consisted of 1-ethyl-3-methyl imidazolium (EMIm⁺), 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium (BMIm⁺) and 1-methyl-1-propyl pyrrolidinium (BMPy⁺) cations, as well as of tetrafluoroborate, hexafluorophosphate and bis((trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl) imide anions. A typical capacitor consisted of two electrodes each with a mass of ca. 15–30 mg, and showed a capacity of ca. 0.35–1.5 F; this leads to a specific capacity of the carbon electrode material within the range of 45 (ACP 870 m²/g)–180 F/g (ACP 2600 m²/g). The specific capacity expressed versus total surface of carbon material was within the range of 5.2–6.9 μF/cm². The electrochemical stability window of ionic liquids determined at the glassy carbon electrode is within the range of ca. 3.0–4.2 V. The energy stored in a capacitor based on activated carbons and ionic liquids may be high, due to a broad practical electrochemical stability window of ca. 3 V. Ionic liquids are characterised by negligible vapour pressure; such a capacitor emits no volatile organic compounds and may be regarded as environmentally friendly.     

Nanostructured transition metal oxides for aqueous hybrid electrochemical supercapacitors

In this paper, we wish to present an overview of the research carried out in our laboratories with low-cost transition metal oxides (manganese dioxide, iron oxide and vanadium oxide) as active electrode materials for aqueous electrochemical supercapacitors. More specifically, the paper focuses on the approaches that have been used to increase the capacitance of the metal oxides and the cell voltage of the supercapacitor. It is shown that the cell voltage of an electrochemical supercapacitor can be increased significantly with the use of hybrid systems. The most relevant associations are Fe₃O₄ or activated carbon as the negative electrode and MnO₂ as the positive. The cell voltage of the Fe₃O₄/MnO₂ device is 1.8 V and this value was increased to 2.2 V by using activated carbon instead of Fe₃O₄. These two systems have shown superior behavior compared to a symmetric MnO₂/MnO₂ device which only works within a 1 V potential window in aqueous K₂SO₄. Furthermore, the activated carbon/MnO₂ hybrid device exhibits a real power density of 605 W/kg (maximum power density =19.0 kW/kg) with an energy density of 17.3 Wh/kg. These values compete well with those of standard electrochemical double layer capacitors working in organic electrolytes. PACS 82.47.Uv; 82.45.Fk; 82.45.Yz     

Non-ideal effects of MOS capacitor in a switched capacitor waveform recorder ASIC

SCAs(Switched Capacitor Arrays) have a wide range of uses, especially in high energy physics, nuclear science and astrophysics experiments. This paper presents a method of using a MOS capacitor as a sampling capacitor to gain larger capacitance with small capacitor area in SCA design. It studies the non-ideal effects of the MOS capacitor and comes up with ways to reduce these adverse effects. A prototype SCA ASIC which uses a MOS capacitor to store the samples has been designed and tested to verify this method. The SCA integrates 32 channels and each has 64 cells and a readout amplifier. The stored voltage is converted to a pair of differential currents( 4m A max) and multiplexed to the output. All the functionalities have been verified. The power consumption is less than 2 m W/ch. The INL of all the cells in one channel are better than 0.39%. The equivalent input noise of the SCA has been tested to be 2.2 m V with 625 k Hz full-scale sine wave as input, sampling at 40 MSPS(Mega-samples per Second) and reading out at 5 MHz. The effective resolution is 8.8 bits considering 1 V dynamic range. The maximum sampling rate reaches up to 50 MSPS and readout rate of 15 MHz to keep noise smaller than 2.5 m V. The test results validate the feasibility of the MOS capacitor.     

Polyaniline-Containing composites based on highly porous carbon cloth for flexible supercapacitor electrodes

Composites based on commercially available carbon cloth Busofit T-040 and conductive polymer polyaniline are fabricated using the electrochemical polymerization of aniline on the surface of carbon-cloth fibers. The sequence of technological operations for obtaining the composite is optimized; the procedure of preliminary modification of the carbon-cloth surface by electrochemical etching is worked out; and the capacitive characteristics of the obtained composites for use as flexible supercapacitor electrodes are studied. It is found that the introduction of polyaniline into the composition of composite electrode structures leads to an increase in the capacitance by 2–2.5 times compared to the initial carbon cloth due to the pseudocapacitance of polyaniline while maintaining a high electrical conductivity and efficiency. For a composite based on etched carbon cloth, the specific capacitance is 267 F/g (8.9 F/cm² per unit of the geometric surface of the electrode) with a charge efficiency of 97–99%. The specific surface area of the composite, determined by the BET method, is 548 m²/g.     

Activated carbon aerogel as electrode material for coin-type EDLC cell in organic electrolyte

Carbon aerogel (CA) was prepared by a carbonization of resorcinol–formaldehyde (RF) polymer gels, and it was chemically activated with KOH to obtain activated carbon aerogel (ACA) for electrode material for EDLC in organic electrolyte. Coin-type EDLC cells with two symmetrical carbon electrode were assembled using the prepared carbon materials. Electrochemical performance of the carbon electrodes was measured by galvanostatic charge/discharge and cyclic voltammetry methods. Activated carbon aerogel (20.9 F/g) showed much higher specific capacitance than carbon aerogel (7.9 F/g) and commercial activated carbon (8.5 F/g) at a scan rate of 100 mV/s. This indicates that chemical activation with KOH served as an efficient method to improve electrochemical performance of carbon aerogel for EDLC electrode in organic electrolyte. The enhanced electrochemical performance of activated carbon aerogel was attributed to the high effective surface area and the well-developed pore structure with appropriate pore size obtained from activation with KOH.
