Electrochemical performance of MoS2 nanoflakes has been investigated through cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analyzer. The results demonstrated that the new electrode maintains a relatively high power density and a good cycle performance in 6 M KOH electrolyte. A maximum specific capacitance of 0.11 F g-1 in an aqueous electrolyte solution has been obtained. The supercapacitor devices exhibit excellent long cycle life along with ~ 40% specific capacitance retained after 500 cycle at scan rates of 500 mV s1.

The purpose of this paper is to develop feasible composite electrodes with a long cycle life and large specific capacitance and to investigate optimal ratio between aniline and carbon aerogels (CA) materials. The characterization of the composite electrode materials was studied by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and the constant charge-discharge. The specific capacitance of the composite electrode materials, measured using cyclic voltammetry at scan rate of 1mV•s-1, was found to be 1139.66F•g-1. For a simple supercapcitor, the highest specific capacitance (127.53 F•g-1 at 30mA) is obtained at ratio between aniline and CA is 1:4.

A series of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) based on 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic (BTC) acid and M(II) acetate hydrate (M=Co, Ni, and Zn) were successfully synthesized and named as M3(BTC)2·12H2O. These compounds were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns. Electrochemical properties of the materials were characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in 6 M KOH aqueous solutions. The maximum specific capacitance of Ni3(BTC)2·12H2O is found to be 429 F g-1 at 5 mV s-1 and 154 F g-1 at 200 mV s-1 scan rate.

Impact of moisture sorbed from air by porous carbon electrodes after vacuum drying on their specific capacitance in aqueous 1.0 M Na2SO4 solution was studied. It was shown by cyclic voltammetry and impedance spectroscopy that electrodes lose more than 20 % of the capacitance after such drying procedure and in order to recover it takes about 1 month.

Nanoflakes Co(OH)2 porous films were successfully synthesized by a facile electrochemical technique. The morphology was characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). Electrochemical techniques such as cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostaitc charge/discharge and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used to study the effects of deposition temperatures on the capacitance of the films. The results exhibited that the Co(OH)2 films single electrode had high specific capacitance in KOH electrolyte. A maximum specific capacitance of 2780 F/g could be achieved for the Co(OH)2 film deposited at 50°C in 2 M aqueous KOH with 0 to 0.4V potential at a charge-discharge current density of 4 mA/cm2. Therefore, the obtained nanoflakes Co(OH)2 porous films can be a potential application electrode material for supercapacitors.

The CeO2/rGO composites were prepared by hydrothermal method. The microscopic phase structure and microstructure of the samples were characterized by SEM, XRD and FTIR. The cyclic voltammetry (CV) and constant current charge and discharge tests were used to study the electrochemical stability and cycle ability of the CeO2/rGO composite electrode. The results show that the incorporation of graphene effectively increases the reversibility of CeO2 as an electrode material. The special structure of graphene provides a continuous network and more active sites for redox reactions. In the 6mol/L KOH electrolyte, the specific capacitance of CeO2/rGO composite reached 114F·g-1 when the current density was 0.5A/g. After 1000 cycles, the specific capacitance only decreased by 12.66%, which proves that this material has good cycle performance.

The demand for eco-friendly renewable energy resources as energy storage and management devices is increased due to their high-power density and fast charge/discharge capacity. Recently, supercapacitors have fascinated due to their fast charge–discharge capability and high-power density along with safety. Herein, the authors present the synthesis of 3D-hierarchical peony-like ZnCo2O4 structures with 2D-nanoflakes by a hydrothermal method using polyvinylpyrrolidone. The reaction time was modified to obtain two samples (ZCO-6h and ZCO-12h) and the rest of the synthesis conditions were the same. The synthesized structures were systematically studied through various techniques: their crystalline characteristics were studied through XRD analysis, their morphologies were inspected through SEM and TEM, and the elemental distribution and oxidation states were studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). ZCO-12h sample has a larger surface area (55.40 m2·g−1) and pore size (24.69 nm) than ZCO-6h, enabling high-speed transport of ions and electrons. The ZCO-12h electrode showed a high-specific capacitance of 421.05 F·g−1 (31.52 C·g−1) at 1 A·g−1 and excellent cycle performance as measured by electrochemical analysis. Moreover, the morphologic characteristics of the prepared hierarchical materials contributed significantly to the improvement of specific capacitance. The excellent capacitive outcomes recommend the 3D-ZnCo2O4 hierarchical peony-like structures composed of 2D-nanoflakes as promising materials for supercapacitors with high-performance.

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.
