纳米Co(OH)2/HY复合物的制备及其电化学电容性能

当材料以纳米尺度存在时，某些物理及化学性质将发生根本性变化。因而，纳米技术的概念绝不仅仅是尺寸的缩小，更应体现在物理概念、系统设计、材料合成及制造等方面所发生的根本性革命。随着21世纪的来临，人们正努力地将越来越多的纳米材料功能化，Co(OH)2通常用作Ni(OH）2电池活性材料的添加剂。关于Ni(OH）2的许多电化学性质已有大量报道，而对于Co(OH）2的研究却很少涉及。本文报道了一种新的纳米级Co(OH）2／HY复合物的制备方法，并将制得的复合物制成超级电容器电极，研究了其超电容特性。此外，还初步提出了Co(OH）2各向异性的形貌形成机理。

Preparation and Electrochemical Capacitance Characteristics of Co(OH)2/HY Nano-composite

A novel strategy, which is better-suited for preparing materials with a very microscopic structure, is described and the whisker-like composite of Co(OH) 2/HY was prepared by using this strategy. In addition, the mechanism by which the growth proceeds is not very rigorously worked out. Due to the high dispersed capability of HY towards to Co(OH) 2 resulting in loose whisker-like microstructure of Co(OH) 2, small channels become available for the diffusion of OH - electrolyte ions through all Co(OH) 2 thin layer. Consequentially, the prepared composite shows a very high specific capacitance (483 F/g) and utilization (93%) of effective electroactive composition of composite.
