Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/graphene oxide (PEDOT/GO) composites with wrinkled paper-like sheets morphology were electropolymerized potentiostatically at 1.2 V with different electrodeposition times (1–30 min) and various concentrations of GO (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 mg/mL). The electrochemical properties of PEDOT/GO composites as an electrode material for supercapacitor were investigated using cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD). The CV results revealed that PEDOT/GO containing 1.0 mg/mL GO and electropolymerized for 10 minutes exhibited the highest specific capacitance (157.17 F/g). This optimum PEDOT/GO was found to have energy and power density of 18.24 W/kg and 496.64 Wh/kg, respectively, at 1.0 A/g current density. The resistance of charge transfer obtained for PEDOT/GO is very low (13.10 Ω) compared to PEDOT (638.98 Ω), proving that PEDOT/GO has a good supercapacitive performance due to the synergistic effect of the high conductivity of PEDOT and large surface area of GO.

AbstractIn this report, we incorporate activated carbon (AC) onto aluminum substrate via doctor blade method to produce an all-solid-state supercapacitor. The electrochemical properties of the all-solid-state supercapacitor were characterized by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Galvanostatic charge/discharge tests also were carried out to exhibit stability of the AC-based supercapacitor. The impedance and charge/discharge curves of the all-solid-state supercapacitor showed good capacitive behavior after functionalized AC. The highest specific capacitance obtained for the AC-based supercapacitor was 106 F g−1. About 160% of specific capacitance increased after functionalization of the AC, which indicated that modification of the AC by nitric acid was able to introduce functional groups on the AC and improve its electrochemical performances.

Antimony species was chemically anchored on graphene oxide using antimony (III) chloride precursor and then converted to the reduced graphene oxide-antimony species composite by a well-established polyol method. The resultant composite was successfully used as supercapacitor electrodes in a two-electrode symmetric system with aqueous electrolyte. The specific capacitance calculated from the galvanostatic charge/discharge curves obtained for this composite was 289 F/g. The enhanced capacitance results were confirmed by the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The high capacitance of the reduced graphene oxide-antimony species composite arises from the combination of double-layer charging and pseudocapacitance caused by the Faradaic reactions of the intercalated antimony species and residual surface-bonded functional groups.

The structural and electrochemical properties of lanthanum manganate (LaMnO3) powder prepared by the sol-gel method are researched in this article. The powder calcined at 600 °C showed amorphous, and the powder calcined at 700-800 °C showed the pure phase of the LaMnO3. The grains with the size of about 80-120 nm were agglomerating together. Cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge-discharge were used to characterize the electrochemical properties in alkaline environment. The electrochemical properties calcined at 700 °C showed a specific capacitance of 73 F/g at the current density of 0.5 A/g. The raw materials for preparing the LaMnO3 powder are cheap, and the operation method is simple.

The electrochemical properties of the nitrogen-enriched carbons obtained by plant raw treatment as electrode material for supercapacitors were investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, cycling voltammetry and galvanostatic charge-discharge cycling in KOH aqueous electrolyte. The effect of activation agent (NaOH) concentration and carbonization temperature were analyzed. The separation of double layer and redox capacitance components was done. The dominating role of microporosity for capacitive properties was demonstrated. The capacitance of model capacitors based on carbons obtained at different modes was calculated from both from cycling voltammetry and galvanostatic charge-discharge data. The maximal values of specific capacitance of carbon materials carbonized at 600°C and 900°C are about 100 and 120 F/g, respectively.

Poly-2, 5-dimethoxyaniline (PDMA) coating was successfully prepared by electrochemical method on the surface of active carbon (AC) electrodes in oxalic acid aqueous solution. The resulted coating was hydrolyzed to produce poly-2,5-dihydroxyaniline (PDHA) to enhance the capacitance of the composite electrode. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge/discharge test, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to investigate the properties of these electrodes. A comparative analysis on the electrochemical properties of bare-carbon electrode was also conducted under similar conditions. The specific capacitance of the PDHA/AC composite electrode was 947.04 F•g-1 between 0.0 and 1.0 V at a current density of 3.0 mA•cm-2 in 0.5 M H2SO4 electrolyte. The capacitance retention of composite electrode was about 89.2% during 700 charge-discharge cycles.

Composite electrodes for supercapacitors have been obtained, consisting of a matrix of highly dispersed carbon materials: microcrystalline graphite and multi-walled carbon nanotubes, also a filler of nanoparticles of nickel hydroxide. Β-Co (OH) 2 and β-Ni (OH) 2 nanopowders were obtained by chemical deposition from solution. To create the electrodes, a polyvinylidene fluoride polymer in the form of a powder was used as a bonding material. The main technological stages of the manufacture of electrodes were determined, the parameters of the obtained structures were measured by the method of cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge-discharge. For the manufacture of carbon electrodes, the optimal ratios of highly dispersed carbon materials, a binder polymer and a solvent have been determined to create mechanically strong layers with high conductivity and capacity. The technique of creating capacitor structures and measuring the capacitance of the obtained electrochemical capacitors has been worked out. Capacitors made of highly dispersed carbon materials showed typical rectangular curves of cyclic voltammetry and a linear decay-rise of the galvanostatic charge-discharge dependences. Typical values of specific capacity ~ 50 F / g were obtained. Composite electrodes made of nickel hydroxide nanoparticles in a carbon matrix demonstrated an increase in capacitance to ~ 180 F / g. It is shown that composite electrodes are promising for creating capacitors with a high specific capacity.
