Graphene and carbon nanotube composite electrodes for supercapacitors with ultra-high energy density

We describe a graphene and single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) composite film prepared by a blending process for use as electrodes in high energy density supercapacitors. Specific capacitances of 290.6 F g(-1) and 201.0 F g(-1) have been obtained for a single electrode in aqueous and organic electrolytes, respectively, using a more practical two-electrode testing system. In the organic electrolyte the energy density reached 62.8 Wh kg(-1) and the power density reached 58.5 kW kg(-1). The addition of single-walled carbon nanotubes raised the energy density by 23% and power density by 31% more than the graphene electrodes. The graphene/CNT electrodes exhibited an ultra-high energy density of 155.6 Wh kg(-1) in ionic liquid at room temperature. In addition, the specific capacitance increased by 29% after 1000 cycles in ionic liquid, indicating their excellent cyclicity. The SWCNTs acted as a conductive additive, spacer, and binder in the graphene/CNT supercapacitors. This work suggests that our graphene/CNT supercapacitors can be comparable to NiMH batteries in performance and are promising for applications in hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles.

A wide potential window aqueous supercapacitor based on LiMn<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>4</Subscript>–rGO nanocomposite

Aqueous supercapacitors based on neutral solutions have the advantages of high-ionic conductivity, being environmentally friendly, safe, and low cost. However, the operating potential window for most aqueous electrolytes is far lower than that of organic electrolytes that are commonly used in commercial supercapacitors. In this work, we report on the fabrication of a wide potential window, high-energy aqueous asymmetric supercapacitor, without sacrificing power, by using a nanostructured LiMn₂O₄/reduced graphene oxide (LMO–rGO) nanocomposite. We synthesized the uniformly distributed LMO in the LMO–rGO nanocomposite using a co-precipitation route followed by a low-temperature hydrothermal treatment. In a three-electrode cell setup, the specific capacitance of the LMO–rGO nanocomposite electrode at 1 A/g (1.2 mA/cm²) is 268.75 F/g (258 mF/cm²), which shows a dramatic improvement over the sum of the specific capacitances of pristine LMO (162.5 F/g) and pure rGO (29.94 F/g) electrodes in their relative ratios, when used alone. This finding suggests a synergistic coupling of LMO and rGO in the nanocomposite. We also assembled the LMO–rGO nanocomposite, as the positive electrode, with activated carbon, as the negative electrode, into an asymmetric cell configuration. The device shows an ultra-wide potential window of 2.0 V in a neutral aqueous Li₂SO₄ electrolyte, with a maximum energy density of 29.6 Wh/kg (which approaches the commercial lead-acid batteries), power density of up to 7408 W/kg, and an excellent cycle life (5% loss after 6000 cycles). These findings confirm that an LMO–rGO nanocomposite is a promising material to meet the demands of real world energy storage.     

Electrodeposition of MnO2 nanowires on carbon nanotube paper as free-standing,flexible electrode for supercapacitors

MnO₂ nanowires were electrodeposited onto carbon nanotube (CNT) paper by a cyclic voltammetric technique. The as-prepared MnO₂ nanowire/CNT composite paper (MNCCP) can be used as a flexible electrode for electrochemical supercapacitors. Electrochemical measurements showed that the MNCCP electrode displayed specific capacitances as high as 167.5 F g⁻¹ at a current density of 77 mA g⁻¹. After 3000 cycles, the composite paper can retain more than 88% of initial capacitance, showing good cyclability. The CNT paper in the composite acted as a good conductive and active substrate for flexible electrodes in supercapacitors, and the nanowire structure of the MnO₂ could facilitate the contact of the electrolyte with the active materials, and thus increase the capacitance.     

Design and Preparation of Graphene/Fe2O3 Nanocomposite as Negative Material for Supercapacitor

The development of high specific capacitance electrode materials with high efficiency, scalability and economic feasibility is significant for the application of supercapacitors, however, the synthesis of electrode material still faces huge challenges. Herein, graphene(G)/Fe₂O₃ nanocomposite was prepared via a simple hydrothermal method connected with subsequent thermal reduction process. Scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM) results showed rod-like Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles were prepared and well-dispersed on graphene layers, providing a rich active site and effectively buffering the aggregation of Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles in the process of electrochemical reaction. The specific capacitance of the obtained G/Fe₂O₃ nanocomposite as negative electrode for supercapacitor was 378.7 F/g at the current density of 1.5 A/g, and the specific capacitance retention was 88.76% after 3000 cycles. Furthermore, the asymmetric supercapacitor(ASC) was fabricated with G/Fe₂O₃ nanocomposite as negative electrode, graphene as positive electrode, which achieved a high energy density of 64.09 W∙h/kg at a power density of 800.01 W/kg, maintained 30.07 W∙h/kg at a power density of 8004.89 W/kg, and retained its initial capacitance by 78.04% after 3000 cycles. The excellent result offered a promising way for the G/Fe₂O₃ nanocomposite to be applied in high energy density storage systems.

The full supercapacitors based on Ni-Co-P-S as positive electrode and active carbon as negative electrode showcase a high specific capacitance of 110.9 F/g at 1 A/g, impressive energy density of 39.4 Wh/kg at a power density of 797.5 W/kg in terms of excellent cycling stability (91.87% retention after 10,000 cycles). This simple electrode position strategy for synthesizing Ni-Co-P-S can be extended to prepare electrode materials for various sustainable electrochemical energy storage/conversion technologies.
