Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) of different diameter were synthesized by chemical vapor deposition using LaNi5 alloy of micrometer magnitude as catalyst. High-power ultrasonic grinder was employed to disperse CNTs for various time. CNTs with different dispersion levels were obtained and their impacts on the performance of CNTs supercapacitor electrode were researched as well. Constant current charge-discharge, Cycle Votammetry was employed to study the supercapacitors properties of carbon nanotubes. And the results showed that the specific capacitance of CNTs electrode without ultrasonic was 95.88F/g. However CNTs electrode has preferable electrochemistry properties with 16 hours ultrasonic dispersion, CNTs diameter about 30-50nm and well dispersibility: the specific capacitance had enhanced 69.9%, as high as 162.88F/g.

NiFe2O4 powders were synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method at 180°C followed by a thermal treatment at 300°C. The phase composition and morphology were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results showed that the NiFe2O4 powders were well-crystallized, and they possessed a particle size in the range of 50-100 nm. The electrochemical property was characterized via cyclic voltammetry (CV) and constant current charge-discharge method. Encouragingly, the NiFe2O4 powders had an excellent electrochemical property, whose specific capacitance reached 266.84 F/g at the electric current density of 1 A/g due to the small particle size. Compared with other Fe-based metal compound oxides, NiFe2O4 has a better electrochemical performance, which can be widely used in the supercapacitor electrode materials.

Aligned carbon nanotubes (ACNTs) array is synthesized by plasma-enhanced hot filament chemical vapor deposition of the stainless steel substrate covered by ferric nitrate. The morphology and structure of the carbon nanotubes array are characterized by Scanning Electron Microscope and Transmission Electron Microscope. Cyclic voltammetry, constant current charge-discharge technique are employed to test the electrochemical performance of the button-like super-capacitor fabricated using the ACNTs array as electrode. The specific capacitance of the ACNTs array electrode reached 160.9F/g in the potential range of -0.2~+0.8V, at a scan rate of 1mV/s in 1mol/L Na2SO4 aqueous electrolyte.
