Prerapation And Supercapacitor Property Of Mesoporous Carbon Nanofibers, Yong-Wen Wang, Ming-Bo Zheng, Jian Cao, Jie-Ming Cao, Guang-Bin Ji, Jie Tao

Journal of Electrochemistry

Two different mesoporous carbon nanofibers with large mesopore or core-shell structure were prepared by using the resol/F127 mixture to fill the AAO template. The morphology and structural parameters of the samples were characterized by SEM,TEM,and N2 adsorption-desorption analysis. The supercapacitive behaviors of the electrodes were tested by cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge-discharge. The results show that the specific capacitances of mesoporous carbon nanofibers increased obviously and the fine supercapacitive performances were achieved at high scan rate or large current density.

Nano-MnO2 was prepared by using P123 as a soft template.The MnO2 /polyaniline composite was further prepared by polymerization of aniline with the nano-MnO2 in acidic conditions and was investigated by XRD and IR.The morphology of nano-MnO2 observed by SEM was changed with the introduction of aniline.The electrochemical properties of MnO2 /PANI electrode were investigated using cyclic voltammetry,galvanostatic charge-discharge and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.The specific capacitance of MnO2 /PANI electrode could reach as high as 190.8 F·g-1,which decayed only 4.7% over 500 cycles.And the coulombic efficiency has been maintained at above 97%.
