Carbon Nanotube Array Electrodes Based Supercapacitors With 3.5v Working Voltage, Hao Zhang, Gao-Ping Cao, Yu-Sheng Yang, Zhen-Nan Gu, Bin Xu, Wen-Feng Zhang

Journal of Electrochemistry

The carbon nanotube arrays(CNTA) were grown directly on the substrates of Ta and stainless steel by chemical vapor deposition.The button-like supercapacitors were fabricated based the CNTA electrodes.The electrochemical performance of CNTA based supercapacitors presentsed high working voltage(3.5 V),long cycle life,and good rate capability.The power and energy densities are were 928 kW·kg-1and 19 Wh·kg-1,respectively(based on the mass of CNTA).

Electrochemical Performances Of Copper/Activated Carbon Composites, Lan-Ting Li, Qiang Xie, Wen Yan, Yan-Yan Wang, Wen-Wen Xing

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 …

Preparation And Electrochemical Performance Of Ordered Mesoporous Titanium Phosphate As Cathode Material For Li-Ion Battery, Qiong Wang, Attia Adel, Zhi-Cong Shi, Yong Yang

Journal of Electrochemistry

Ordered porous titanium phosphate materials were prepared by using the surfactant template combined with the sol-gel method.The samples were characterized by small angle X-ray diffraction(SA-XRD) method,N2 adsorption/desorption techniques,high resolution transmission electron microscopy(HRTEM) and element analysis.It is found that the calcination temperature is a big influence on the porous structure,and electrochemical performance of the titanium phosphate materials.,and the mesoporous titanium phosphate showed good performance in the electrochemical test,the first discharge capacity is 94 mAh/g at the current density of 150 mA/g.On the other hand,the no porous material with a low capacity of 37 mAh/g under the same charge-discharge condition.
