The composite electrodes of cobalt oxide and multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are prepared by a simple low-temperature solid-phase synthesis method with the assistance of polyethylene glycol and their pseudocapacitive performances are investigated in alkaline solution by cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge/discharge tests, respectively. Transmission electron microscope images show that cobalt oxide is uniformly coated on multi-wall carbon nanotubes and the homogeneous hybrid nanostructure are considered to be responsible for their preferable electrochemical performances. The electrochemical tests further reveal that the composite can deliver a maximum specific capacitance of 217 F/g with a biggest utilization of Co element when the content of MWCNTs increases to 50 wt.%.

Pseudocapacitive Behavior

A new two-step synthesis of composite electrode based on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and cobalt oxide (Co3O4) by electrophoretic deposition of CNTs on Ni foam followed by electrodeposition of cobalt hydroxide on CNTs electrode and heat treatment to form Co3O4/CNTs composite electrode was developed. The structure and morphology of the electrodes were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Their electrochemical performances were evaluated by cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge-discharge and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Experimental results indicated that the nanocomposite electrodes exhibitd excellent pseudocapacitive behavior. In the potential range of 0.1- 0.45 V(vs SCE), the nanocomposite electrode showed a high specific capacitance of 867 F•g-1 in 6 M KOH electrolyte and a capacity retention of 90% after 1000 cycles at a current density of 1 A•g-1.

AbstractCarbon nanotubes (CNT) are interesting candidates for the reinforcement in robust composites and for conducting fillers in polymers due to their fascinating electronic and mechanical properties. For the first time, we report the incorporation of multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) into silica-glass surfaces by means of partial surface-melting caused by a continuous wave Nd:YAG laser. MWNTs were detected being well incorporated in the silica-surface. The composites are characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Raman-spectroscopy. A model for the composite-formation is proposed based on heatabsorption by MWNTs and a partial melting of the silica-surface.

In this paper we have successfully demonstrated a new micromachined fuel processing system including vaporizer, catalytic combustor and methanol steam reformer. This fuel processing system utilizes the thermal energy generated from the catalytic hydrogen combustion to heat up the entire system. For the first time, we have used carbon nanotubes as a supporting structure of Pt catalyst for combustion. The catalytic combustor could supply the energy to heat the reformer and maintain its working temperature. We have also developed a new coating method of reforming catalyst (Cu/ZnO/Al2O3) and observed that adequate amount of hydrogen can be generated for PEMFC. We have successfully reported the feasibility of the proposed fuel processing system in each assembled component.

Carbon nanotubes/graphene composites are directly grown on nickel foil without additional catalysts by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Next, the cobalt is deposited on carbon nanotubes/graphene composites by radio frequency (RF) sputtering with different power levels and time periods. Then, the cobalt is transformed into cobalt oxide by annealing. A longer time period of sputtering leads to higher specific capacity. Furthermore, the electrochemical stability of cobalt oxide/carbon nanotubes/graphene composites is higher than that of cobalt oxide.

Abstract Potassium ion batteries (PIBs) with the prominent advantages of sufficient reserves and economical cost are attractive candidates of new rechargeable batteries for large-grid electrochemical energy storage systems (EESs). However, there are still some obstacles like large size of K+ to commercial PIBs applications. Therefore, rational structural design based on appropriate materials is essential to obtain practical PIBs anode with K+ accommodated and fast diffused. Nanostructural design has been considered as one of the effective strategies to solve these issues owing to unique physicochemical properties. Accordingly, quite a few recent anode materials with different dimensions in PIBs have been reported, mainly involving in carbon materials, metal-based chalcogenides (MCs), metal-based oxides (MOs), and alloying materials. Among these anodes, nanostructural carbon materials with shorter ionic transfer path are beneficial for decreasing the resistances of transportation. Besides, MCs, MOs, and alloying materials with nanostructures can effectively alleviate their stress changes. Herein, these materials are classified into 0D, 1D, 2D, and 3D. Particularly, the relationship between different dimensional structures and the corresponding electrochemical performances has been outlined. Meanwhile, some strategies are proposed to deal with the current disadvantages. Hope that the readers are enlightened from this review to carry out further experiments better.
