Preparation And Electrochemical Behavior Of Pbo/Gn/Ac, Yun-Fang Gao, Yan-Ping Wang, Qiu-Shi Yao, Fu-Hua Wang, Dong-Lei Ren, Xin Xu

Journal of Electrochemistry

The lead oxide/graphene/activated carbon (PbO/GN/AC) composite materials were prepared by impregnating commercial activated carbon and graphene in saturated lead nitrate solution followed by calcination. The structures and morphologies of the composite were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The results show that PbO crystals (about 200 nm) were dispersed uniformly on the surface of activated carbon and graphene. Electrochemical data indicate that the composite exhibited good electrochemical performances. The PbO/GN/AC composite possessed the higher over-potential of hydrogen evolution and the high specific capacitance of 312.6 F·g-1, while the internal resistance …

Journal of Electrochemistry

The development and improvement of electrode materials can result in the enhancement of the performances of electrochemical capacitor.In this paper various copper/activated carbon composites were prepared in the presence of different amounts(from 0% to 40%) of copper nitrate from bituminous coal.Then different electrodes were prepared from copper oxide,activated carbon and copper/activated carbon composites,respectively,and were characterized by cyclic voltammetry,alternative current(AC) impedance,charge-discharge at constant current and maintenance of the self-potential.The results showed that the proper amount of copper in copper/activated carbon composites positively influenced the electrochemical performances of electrodes,and the capacitance of copper/activated carbon composites was larger than that of the total …

Journal of Electrochemistry

Polymethyl methacrylate(PMMA) based gel polymer electrolytes electrochemical double layer capacitors(GPE-EDLCs) were fabricated by an in situ polymerisatonal method with actived carbon electrodes,using propylene carbonate(PC) and ethylene carbonate(EC) as plasticizer,lithion perchlorate as surporting electrolytes.The ion conductivity values of GPEs were evaluated by AC impedance.The properties of PMMA-based GPEs capacitors were researched by impedance spectrum,cyclic voltammetry,galvanostatic charge-discharge.It showed that the ion conductivities of the PMMA-based gel polymer electrolytes reached to 3.7 mS·cm-1 at ambient tempreture.The working voltage of the capacitors reached to 3.0 V.The specific capacitance of the capacitor was obtained as high as 41.6 F·g-1(I=1 mA·cm-2).The equivalent serial resistance of the …

Deep Treatment Of Pulping Wastewater Using Three Phase Fluidized Bed Electrode Reactor, Dan Wu

Journal of Electrochemistry

Treatment of pulping wastewater by using a novel electrochemical reactor,i.e.the three phase fluidized bed electrode,reactor were invesigated.The effects of air flow rate,applied voltage,pH value and FeSO_(4) concentration on electrolysis efficiency were investigated.It was clearly shown that the 20 V of voltage,0.3 m~(3) h~(-1) of air flow rate,1000 mg L~(-1) of FeSO_(4) concentration and pH≈2.5 were its best conditions.COD removal could be 70.1% under these conditions.

Applications Of New Activated Carbon Meterials In The Electric Double-Layer Capacitor, Jian-Jun Zhang

Journal of Electrochemistry

A new type activated carbon whose precursor was coconut shell could be obtained using specific physics-chemistry activation, and the activated carbon was applied as the material of electrode in EDLC(electrical double-layer capacitor),which had a large specific capacitance,and could charge and discharged in some large currents. Carbon dioxide and acid were used to modify carbon,and the effects of post-treatment on surface area and pore volume were investigated. A moulding method which has influence on some properties of carbon electrode with PTFE additive was researched in the paper.
