In this seminar, I will present our recent work on the growth and electrochemical properties of single crystalline vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) nanorod and Ni-V2O5·nH2O nanocable arrays. These nanostructures were prepared by solution synthesis and template-based electrodeposition. Processing, morphology, structure and electrochemical properties of these nanostructures will be discussed. These nanostructured electrodes of vanadium pentoxide demonstrate significantly enhanced intercalation capcity and charge/discharge rate compared to the plain film electrodes, due to the high surface area and short diffusion distance offered by nanostructure.

Supercapacitors have attracted great attention in power source applications, due to their high power density, elevated charge/discharge rate, good reversibility and long life. Activated carbons are the most frequently used electrode material, due to their high accessibility, non-toxicity, high chemical stability, good electrical conductivity, high surface area and low cost, but in practice the capacitance values are limited by the material microstructure. In this work we report on the synthesis and electrochemical characterization of carbon/polyaniline composites, synthesized by in-situ polymerization in acid media of aniline monomer on the surface of two activated carbons having different textural properties, and on the effect of the carbon porosity on the electrochemical properties of the electrodes. Results obtained indicate that the BET specific surface of the composites decreases sharply due to the collapse of the porous structure (mainly the micropores) of the carbon by the polyaniline chains. Regarding capacitance values, Csp increases on increasing polyaniline loading in the composite, however high polymer concentration lead to a decrease on capacitance when high current were applied, probably due to diffusion restrictions of the electrolyte anions and cations to the carbon surface.

Disordered carbons prepared by the pyrolysis of peanut shells with and without a porogen were investigated. The first-cycle lithium insertion capacity of the porogen-treated carbon was 3504 mAh/g, and was related to the high surface area (2099 m2/g) of the carbon. It was concluded from x-ray diffraction studies that the extra lithium was stored in the microporous voids in the carbon. The large irreversible capacity for this carbon is believed to be associated with the loss of lithium through its reaction with surface groups as well as with lithium plating and subsequent passive film formation. The impedance profiles of the carbons at various potentials were analyzed and modeled with suitable equivalent circuits. Charge-discharge studies with the porogen-treated carbon, pre-charged and discharged prior to use in coin cells, indicated that the first-cycle reversible capacity was the greatest when the charge-discharge rate was 0.4 C. The carbon maintained capacities of about 325 mAh/g for 20 cycles, and then stabilized around 380 mAh/g for over 70 cycles.

In this work, a new hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) electrochemical sensor was fabricated. Prussian blue (PB) was electrodeposited on a glassy carbon (GC) electrode modified with zirconia doped functionalized carbon nanotubes (ZrO2-fCNTs), (PB/ZrO2-fCNTs/GC). The morphology and structure of the nanostructured system were characterized by scanning and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), specific surface area, X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Raman and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The electrochemical properties were studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronoamperometry (CA). Zirconia nanocrystallites (6.6 ± 1.8 nm) with cubic crystal structure were directly synthesized on the fCNTs walls, obtaining a well dispersed distribution with a high surface area. The experimental results indicate that the ZrO2-fCNTs nanostructured system exhibits good electrochemical properties and could be tunable by enhancing the modification conditions and method of synthesis. The fabricated sensor could be used to efficiently detect H2O2, presenting a good linear relationship between the H2O2 concentration and the peak current, with quantification limit (LQ) of the 10.91 μmol·L−1 and detection limit (LD) of 3.5913 μmol·L−1.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) composed by coordination bonds between metal ion with organic linker has a uniform combination of micro and mesoporous structures has been used for several application including battery supercapacitor hybrid. (BSH). In BSH, MOF offer several advantages including high surface area, porous, and structure tunability. This paper reports the synthesis of ternary MOF of copper (Cu), nickel (Ni) and cobalt (Co) with 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid. The Co/Cu/Ni-MOF is synthesized using hydrothermal method at 160 °C for 12h and further develop as a BSH electrode. The physicochemical properties of MOF were characterized using FESEM, FTIR, XRD, BET and the electrochemical properties were evaluated using cyclic voltammetry (CV), charge-discharge cycling (CDC) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Electrochemical analysis indicated that the MOF has high specific capacitance (CS) of 591 F g-1 at a current density of 1 A g-1 and 519 F g-1 at scan rate of 2 mV s-1, and possess low series resistance (RS) of 0.44 Ω and equivalent distributed resistance (Rd) of 1.07 Ω.

The Co3O4 nanorod bundles are synthesized by a hydrothermal method. The samples are characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), electron diffraction (ED), X-ray powder diffractometer (XRD), and nitrogen adsorption. It is important that the as-obtained Co3O4 nanorod bundles are assembled by nanoparticles. The porous nanorod bundle electrode exhibits a higher rate capacity and a higher reverse capability for lithium ion battery than the solid nanorods, which is attributed to the high surface area and the porous structure.

AbstractThe high redox potential and ion insertion properties of vanadium pentoxide have made this material a viable cathode for secondary lithium batteries. The use of sol-gel methods to synthesize vanadium pentoxide and other transition metal oxides has been well studied as the technique represents a relatively simple approach for preparing thin films and powders. Although it is well known that sol-gel processing may be used to prepare high surface area aerogels, the research on transition metal oxides has been largely limited to xerogels. The present paper compares the properties, structures and morphologies of vanadate xerogels and aerogels.
