Electrochemical properties of δ-MnO2-based cathode materials were studied in dependence on current collector used for electrode casting (stainless steel mesh, carbon paper and titanium foil) by galvanostatic charge/discharge measurements and cyclic voltammetry. It was shown that δ-MnO2-based electrodes cast on carbon paper demonstrate the most stable electrochemical performance in comparison with two other current collectors. This can be explained by corrosion of steel and passivation of titanium in mild aqueous electrolytes. Detailed study of carbon paper as current collector shows that pressing of electrodes leads to decreasing the porosity and fast capacity fading.

The polyaniline (PANI) powder with globular sponge-like morphology was prepared by chemical solution polymerization, and its morphology and chemical structure were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), respectively. The single electrode of electrochemical capacitor was made using the prepared PANI powder as active material and carbon paper as current collector. Electrochemical properties of PANI as a single electrode in 1 M HCl and 1 M H2SO4electrolyte solution were tested by galvanostatic charge/discharge (GCD) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) techniques. It has been found that PANI has higher specific capacitance of 302.43 Fg−1, higher specific energy of 54.44 Wh·kg−1at 0.5 Ag−1, and higher working potential in 1 M HCl than those in 1 M H2SO4.

Flexible and conductive paper-based current collectors are fabricated by directly depositing metallic Ni layer composed of spiny Ni nanospheres on the surface of paper via electroless deposition and exhibit excellent mechanical properties and electrochemical performance.

In the present work, a chip embedded thin film current collector for vanadium fueled microfluidic fuel cells is proposed. Embedded current collectors are expected to increase the number of contact points with the porous electrodes and thereby reduce the overall contact resistance and ohmic losses of the cell. The micromachining based thin film process is compatible with the overall cell fabrication scheme, which is based on soft lithography, and does not require a substantial modification of the original cell design. The flow-through microfluidic fuel cell architecture with porous carbon paper electrodes is used as a proof-of-concept in this study. Our preliminary study shows that the peak power density of the cell with the current collector is increased by 79% at 300 μL min−1 compared to an otherwise identical cell without current collector, indicating that the contact resistance is significantly reduced. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis is carried out to estimate the overall cell ohmic resistance and confirms a 32% reduction using the current collectors.

Li0.95Na0.05Ti2(PO4)3/C nanocomposite was prepared by sol-gel method.The structure and morphology of the samples were characterized by XRD, SEM which showed the particles had typical NASICON structure and diameter range from 400~500nm. The electrochemical performance were tested by cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge–discharge. Results show Li0.95Na0.05Ti2(PO4)3/C nanocomposite exhibitsmuch better electrochemical performance than bare Li0.95Na0.05Ti2(PO4)3.
