Carbon fabrics are the new generation promising electrode materials for super capacitors owing to their high electrical conductivity, high chemical stability and low thermal expansion. In this work, 2D-MoS2 nanostructures have been successfully deposited over the commercially available carbon fabric by hydrothermal approach, using silicontungstic acid as an additive. MoS2 nanostructures – carbon fabric was broadly characterized using XRD, FESEM and Raman Spectroscopy. XRD patterns indicated that the fabricated MoS2 nanoparticles can be indexed to hexagonal (2H) and rhombohedral (3R) phases. FESEM images revealed the formation of hierarchical 2D MoS2 nanosheets arranged in a nanosphere like morphology over the carbon fabric. The electrochemical behavior of the MoS2 - carbon fabric and commercially available bare carbon fabric were studied using cyclic voltammetry analysis with different scan rates. The MoS2-carbon fabric exhibited an excellent electrochemical performance with a specific capacitance of 441 F/g at a scan rate of 10mV/s. The good cyclic behavior with symmetric charging/discharging curves, constant specific capacitance for longer scan rates, suggesting that the MoS2- carbon fabric electrode is a potential electrode material for high power applications.

Selection Of

Ultracapacitor is a new electrical energy storage device which has high power density than conventional battery and capacitor. It offers high capacitance in small volume compared to conventional capacitors. While selecting ultracapacitors for various applications, parameters like specific resistance, internal capacitance, pulse current, energy density are required to be considered. Amongst these factors, specific capacitance of ultracapacitor depends mainly on parameters of electrode. The present paper is focused on modeling of ultracapacitor based on variations in some of the electrode parameters. The objective of present research work is to apply a statistical method to obtain an electrode material based model for prismatic type ultracapacitor. To have deep insight about the performance through modeling approach, the number of trials have been taken by doing the variations in the electrode materials of ultracapacitor and the quantity of the electrode material loaded on the current collector. The effect of both these variations is studied over the specific capacitance, which is taken as output parameter of model. Developed model is validated at selected values of input parameters.

Nitrogen-enriched reduced graphene oxide electrode material can be successfully prepared through a simple hydrothermal method. The morphology and microstructure of ready to use electrode material is measured by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Physical characterizations revealed that nitrogen-enriched reduced graphene oxide electrode material possessed high specific surface area of 429.6 m2 · g−1, resulting in high utilization of electrode materials with electrolyte. Electrochemical performance of nitrogen-enriched reduced graphene oxide electrode was also investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge/discharge measurements and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in aqueous in 6 M KOH with a three-electrode system, which displayed a high specific capacitance about 223.5 F · g−1 at 1 mV · s−1. More importantly, nitrogenenriched reduced graphene oxide electrode exhibited outstanding stability with 100% coulombic efficiency and with no specific capacitance loss under 2 A · g−1 after 10000 cycles. The supercapacitive behaviors indicated that nitrogen-enriched reduced graphene oxide can be a used as a promising electrode for high-performance super-capacitors.

In this work, NiCo2O4 nanoparticles with enhanced supercapacitive performance have been successfully synthesized via a facile sol-gel method and subsequent calcination in air. The morphology and composition of as-prepared samples were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray dif­fraction (XRD), and Raman spectroscopy (Raman). The electrochemical per­formances of NiCo2O4 nanoparticles as supercapacitor electrode materials were evalu­ated by cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge/discharge (GCD) tests in 3 mol L-1 KOH aqueous solution. The results show that as-prepared NiCo2O4 nanoparticles have diameters of about 20-30 nm with uniform distribution. There are some interspaces between nanoparticles observed, which could increase the effective contact area with the electrolyte and provide fast path for the insertion and extraction of electrolyte ions. The electrochemical tests show that the prepared NiCo2O4 nanoparticles for supercapacitors exhibit excellent electrochemical performance with high specific capacitance and good cycle stability. The specific capacitance of NiCo2O4 electrode has been found as high as 1080, 800, 651, and 574 F g-1 at current densities of 1, 4, 7, and 10 A g-1, respectively. Notably, the capacitance retention rate (compared with 1 A g-1) is up to 74.1 %, 60.3 %, and 53.1 % at current densities of 4, 7, and 10 A g-1, respectively. After 100 cycles, higher capacitance retention rate is also achieved. Therefore, the results indicate that NiCo2O4 material is the potential electrode material for supercapacitors.

Background: Of late, supercapacitors have been drawing great attention over other rechargeable energy storage devices. More efforts are made on the electrode materials of the supercapacitors, in order to improve the specific capacitance and energy density. Based on the past literature, it was stated that pure TiO2 (as electrode material) could promote faradaic reaction to a limited extent due to its low electronic conductivity. Further, this low conductivity could hinder the ion transfer process between electrolyte and electrode during intercalation and de-intercalation, resulting in poor energy density. Hence, it is essential to incorporate high electronic conductivity material into TiO2, for improving the electrochemical performance. Objective: In the present study, the preparation and electrochemical performance of NiO/TiO2 nanocomposites as an electrode material for supercapacitor were extensively studied. Methods: NiO/TiO2 nanocomposites were synthesized by sol-gel method. The as-prepared nanocomposites were characterized by high-resolution TEM, field emission SEM and XRD. The electrochemical behaviors of the electrode using nanocomposites were assessed by means of cyclic voltammetry (CV) and galvanostatic charge-discharge tests. Results: The maximum specific capacitance of the nanocomposites based electrode witnessed through CV test was 405 F g-1 at the scan rate of 5 mV s-1 in 1M Na2SO4 electrolyte. The capacitance retention after 5000 charge-discharge cycles was estimated as 92.32%. The energy and power densities at current density of 1 A g-1 were found to be 5.67 Wh kg-1 and 210.52 W kg-1, respectively. Conclusion: NiO/TiO2 nanocomposites synthesized via sol-gel technique appeared to be flake-like structure. NiO incorporated into TiO2 increased higher electronic conductivity while comparing to pure TiO2. Also, an introduction of NiO into TiO2 improved the specific capacitance, power density, energy density and cycle stability. Due to these facts, combining NiO with TiO2 could be considered to be an efficient way of enhancing the electrochemical performance of electrodes of the supercapacitor.

Abstract Supercapacitor is an emerging and essential energy storage device to supply energy for human activities. Optimizing electrode materials is necessary for the development of high-performance supercapacitors. Herein, we synthesize different nanostructured MnO2-TiN nanotube arrays electrode materials and discuss their electrochemical performance. The synergistic effects of TiN with high conductivity and MnO2 with high capacitance can extremely enhance the electrochemical performance of the electrode material. The specific capacitance of δ-MnO2 nanosheets-TiN nanotube arrays can reach to 689.88 F•g−1 with good magnification capacity and electron/ion transport properties. Its internal resistance and the charge transfer resistance are low as 1.183 Ω and 52.23 Ω, respectively, indicating the excellent electronic conductivity and electron diffusion. In terms of charging-discharging cycle stability, the specific capacitance retention rates are 97.2% and 82.4 % of initial capacitance after 100 and 500 cycles, respectively.

Electrode materials with a high specific capacitance, outstanding reversibility and excellent cycle stability are constantly pursued for supercapacitors. In this paper, we present an approach to improve the electrochemical performance by combining the advantages of both inorganic and organic. Ni-MnO2/PANi-co-PPy composites are synthesized, with the copolymer of aniline/pyrrole being coated on the surface of Ni-doped manganese dioxide nanospheres. The inorganic–organic composite enables a substantial increase in its specific capacitance and cycle stability. When the mass ratio of Ni-MnO2 to aniline and pyrrole mixed monomer is 1:5, the composite delivers high specific capacitance of 445.49[Formula: see text]F/g at a scan rate of 2[Formula: see text]mV/s and excellent cycle stability of 61.65% retention after 5000 cycles. The results indicate that the Ni-MnO2/PANi-co-PPy composites are promising electrode materials for future supercapacitors application.
