Synthesis Of Α-Mno_2 Microspheres For The Application In Supercapacitor, Liang Wang, Gui-Chang Liu, Zhi-Cong Shi
Journal of Electrochemistry
The MnO2 microspheres were prepared through the oxidation of KMnO4 and MnCO3 microspheres precursor.The microstructure and supercapacitor properties of MnO2 were characterized by XRD,SEM and CV.The results show that MnO2 was in a poorly crystalline state with α-crystallographic form,the size of microspheres typically ranged from 0.5 to 2 μm.Loading 5 mg·cm-2 MnO2 microspheres had excellent capacitance behaviors in 2 mol·L-1(NH4)2SO4 solution.The specific capacitance was 135.6 F·g-1 with the scan rate at 2 mV·s-1,and 118.8 F·g-1 with the large scan rate at 100 mV/s.Coulumbic efficiency was still above 87.8% in the 500 cycles,and the specific capacitance of the 500th cycle was …

Mesoporous carbon for supercapacitors was prepared from sucrose using nano-CaCO3 as template.The microstructure of the carbon was characterized with N2 adsorption and transmission electron microscopy(TEM) observation.The electrochemical performances were evaluated in 6mol·L-1 KOH aqueous electrolyte with galvanostatic charge/discharge,cyclic voltammetry,and ac impedance spectroscopy.The sucrose-based mesoporous carbon had a surface area of 606 m2/g and enriched mesopores in the range of 10～30 nm.The mesoporous carbon presented a specific capacitance of 125 F/g at a current density of 50 mA/g and outstanding excellent rate performance.As the current density increased to 20 000 mA/g,its capacitance remained at 88 F/g,much higher than the commercial capacitive …

Voltage Delay On Li/Socl_2 And Bcx Cells During Discharge, Shu-Tao Liu, Yi-Ping Wu, Hong-Hua Ge, Guo-Ding Zhou
Journal of Electrochemistry
The impedance change of both lithium and carbon electrodes during the process of discharge was studied by AC impedance spectroscopy.It shows that the impedance of lithium electrode at initial stage was reduced by 80%～90% and kept nearly unchanged after wards;the carbon electrode impedance initially did not change much but quickly increased just before the end of discharge.The improvement of voltage delay might be related with the higher open-circuit voltage of BCX cell.It is suggested that the voltage delay problem may be solved by the application of supercapacitor.
