基于NiCo2O4纳米片电极的非对称混合电容器

The looming global energy crisis and ever-increasing energy demands have catalyzed the development of renewable energy storage systems. In this regard, supercapacitors (SCs) have attracted widespread attention because of their advantageous attributes such as high power density, excellent cycle stability, and environmental friendliness. However, SCs exhibit low energy density and it is important to optimize electrode materials to improve the overall performance of these devices. Among the various electrode materials available, spinel nickel cobaltate (NiCo₂O₄) is particularly interesting because of its excellent theoretical capacitance. Based on the understanding that the performances of the electrode materials strongly depend on their morphologies and structures, in this study, we successfully synthesized NiCo₂O₄ nanosheets on Ni foam via a simple hydrothermal route followed by calcination. The structures and morphologies of the as-synthesized products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analysis, and the results showed that they were uniformly distributed on the Ni foam support. The surface chemical states of the elements in the samples were identified by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The as-synthesized NiCo₂O₄ products were then tested as cathode materials for supercapacitors in a traditional three-electrode system. The electrochemical performances of the NiCo₂O₄ electrode materials were studied and the area capacitance was found to be 1.26 C·cm^-2 at a current density of 1 mA·cm^-2. Furthermore, outstanding cycling stability with 97.6% retention of the initial discharge capacitance after 10000 cycles and excellent rate performance (67.5% capacitance retention with the current density from 1 to 14 mA·cm^-2) were achieved. It was found that the Ni foam supporting the NiCo₂O₄ nanosheets increased the conductivity of the electrode materials. However, it is worth noting that the contribution of nickel foam to the areal capacitance of the electrode materials was almost zero during the charge and discharge processes. To further investigate the practical application of the as-synthesized NiCo₂O₄ nanosheets-based electrode, a device was assembled with the as-prepared samples as the positive electrode and active carbon (AC) as the negative electrode. The assembled supercapacitor showed energy densities of 0.14 and 0.09 Wh·cm^-3 at 1.56 and 4.5 W·cm^-3, respectively. Furthermore, it was able to maintain 95% of its initial specific capacitance after 10000 cycles. The excellent electrochemical performance of the NiCo₂O₄ nanosheets could be ascribed to their unique spatial structure composed of interconnected ultrathin nanosheets, which facilitated electron transportation and ion penetration, suggesting their potential applications as electrode materials for high performance supercapacitors. The present synthetic route can be extended to other ternary transition metal oxides/sulfides for future energy storage devices and systems.     

脉冲功率系统中能量回收电路的改进

串联型能量回收电路从电路结构上保证了异常条件下脉冲功率系统中充电电源的安全，但恒流充电电源经回收电感向储能电容充电时会引起回收电路的振荡，不仅会造成充电电源输出过压和回收电感损耗增加，还会导致充电电压一致性明显变差等问题。在分析了回收电路振荡特性的基础上，提出了在回收电感两端并接旁路开关和双路充电输入的电路结构以及相应的充电控制方法，不仅可以抑制回路振荡从而提高充电一致性，还可以消除回收电感和旁路开关的不必要损耗且控制方法也简单通用。对包含有串接型回收电路的600 V/400 A充电系统进行了电路仿真和实验验证，实验结果表明:在600 V重频条件下，回收电路的改进方案可将储能电容电压的充电一致性偏差由10 V降低到2.6 V，对应的相对偏差由1.7%降低到0.5%以内。

水热合成制备Al掺杂α-MnO2纳米管及其超级电容器电化学性能

α-MnO₂ and Al-doped α-MnO₂ were synthesized via a hydrothermal method. The morphologies, structures, and electrochemical performances of as-synthesized un-doped and doped α-MnO₂ were studied. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) show that these un-doped and doped α-MnO₂ are nanotube shaped. The band gaps of α-MnO₂ are investigated by ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy, which indicates that the band gap of α-MnO₂ decreases upon Al doping. The electrochemical performances of un-doped and doped α-MnO₂ as electrode materials for supercapacitors were measured by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and galvanostatical charge/discharge tests. The specific capacitances of un-doped and Al-doped α-MnO₂ respectively reach 204.8 and 228.8 F·g^-1under a current density of 50 mA·g^-1. It was discovered that the electrochemical impedance of Al-doped α-MnO₂ was decreased by Al doping analyzed using electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS), which provides a beneficial increase to its electrochemical specific capacitance. Enhanced specific capacitance and preferable cycling stability (up to 1000 cycles) for Al-doped α-MnO₂ mean that these systems are favorable prospects for application in supercapacitors.
