Mn3O4/Cr2O3composite materials were prepared by a chemical coprecipitation method. The structures were characterized by using SEM and XRD, and the supercapacitive behaviors of these composite materials were investigated with cyclic voltammetry (CV) and charge–discharge tests. Morphology of Mn3O4/Cr2O3composite materials showed that the Mn3O4/Cr2O3composite materials containning a small amount of Cr2O3has a better dispersion compared with that containning a lage amount of it. Owing to the higher surface area and poor crystallization, the Mn3O4/Cr2O3composite materials containning a small amount of Cr2O3show much higher specific capacitance (The highest specific capacitance value of 494 F/g was obtained), and were more promising for applications in supercapacitors.

BCN nanoparticles sandwiched between carbon nanosheets were synthesized with the P123 and borate ammonium under nitrogen atmosphere. The samples were characterized by SEM, TEM, and EELS. The SEM and TEM images show BCN nanoparticles are attached on the carbon nanosheets. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and galvanostatic charge-discharge measurements are used to evaluate electrochemical properties of the composites. The samples show the specific capacitance of 102 F/g at current density of 200mA/g and good durability.

Ceramic materials of (La0.5Sm0.5)2(Zr0.7Ce0.3)2O7 composition powder was synthesized by chemical coprecipitation method using Sm2O3, La2O3, Ce (NO3)3·6H2O and ZrOCl2·8H2O powders as raw materials. Microstructure and phases of (La0.5Sm0.5)2(Zr0.7Ce0.3)2O7 (LSZCO) powder was examined by Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The specific surface area of powders were determined by BET specific surface area test. The structure of LSZCO powder remained in pyrochlore with the increase of temperature more than 1200 °C. According to the impact on the specific surface area of LSZCO powder, the factors of the process is ordered in descending sequence as follows: pH value, dispersant content, concentration of reactants, the reaction temperature.

The VO2(B) nanobelts with monoclinic phase were synthesized by a hydrothermal method at 220°C for 48 h in the absence of any surfactants. The electron energy loss spectrum (EELS) demonstrates that vanadium exists only in the 4+ oxidation state. The SEM and TEM images reveal a belt-like structure of the VO2(B) with the length of several micrometers, the width of 140 nm and the thickness of around 20nm and growth along the [110] crystal direction. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and galvanostatic charge/discharge demonstrate that VO2(B) nano-belts electrode exhibits desirable electrochemical properties and the specific capacitance reaches up to 632.6F•g-1.

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.
