Facile preparation of commercial Bi2O3 nanoparticle decorated activated carbon for pseudocapacitive supercapacitor applications

Preparation and Characterization of Carbon Nanotubes for Supercapacitor Applications

Recent advancements in nanotechnology have proposed the Carbon nanotubes as electrode material for the Supercapacitor applications due to their unique properties. Synthesis of Carbon nanotube in Catalytic Chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) is the easiest and economic way of production in a larger scale. The synthesized MWCNTs were characterized by X – ray diffraction (XRD). The morphological char...

Facile Preparation of Nitrogen-Doped Activated Carbon for Carbon Dioxide Adsorption

Nitrogen-doped activated carbons with high surface areas obtained from resorcinol and formaldehyde resins were evaluated as CO2 adsorbents in a simulated flue gas stream under anhydrous and humid conditions. These carbons were prepared using two approaches, namely ammonia treatment without nitric acid pre-oxidation and amination after preoxidation. The pre-oxidation of activated carbons conside...

Preparation and Characterization of porous Carbon/Nickel Nanofibers for Supercapacitor

Two polymer solutions of polyacrylonitrile, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, and Ni(CH3COOH)2 in dimethylformamide were electrospun into ternary composite nanofibers, followed by stabilization and carbonization processes to obtain porous carbon/nickel composite nanofibers with diameters of 100-200 nm. The study revealed that carbon/nickel composite nanofibers were successfully prepared, which allowed nic...

Preparation and Characterization of Cobalt Nanoparticle-Decorated Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes

In order to increase gas storage capacity such as hydrogen and methane, various wt% of cobalt were decorated on the surface of MWCNTs which was already treated nitric and sulfuric acids to provide functional groups on the surface of MWCNTs. The characteristic peak of SO4 in FT-IR spectrum was at 1220 cm, which was resulting from sulfuric acid treatment. This peak implies that acid treatment con...
