Properties of electrochemical double-layer capacitors with carbon-nanotubes-on-carbon-fiber-felt electrodes

Electrochemical characterization of carbon nanotubes as electrode in electrochemical double-layer capacitors

Carbon nanotubes uniformly 50 nm in diameter were directly grown on graphite foil. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) shows that the carbon nanotube /graphite foil electrode has a high specific capacitance (115.7 F/g at a scan rate of 100 mV/s) and exhibits typical double-layer behavior. A rectangular-shaped CV curve persists even at a scan rate of 100 mV/s in 1.0 M H SO aqueous solution, which suggests t...

Review of Electrochemical Capacitors Based on Carbon Nanotubes and Graphene

Electrochemical capacitors, which can store large amount of electrical energy with the capacitance of thousands of Farads, have recently been attracting enormous interest and attention. Carbon nanostructures such as carbon nanotubes and graphene are considered as the potentially revolutionary energy storage materials due to their excellent properties. This paper is focused on the application of...

Electrochemical properties of double wall carbon nanotube electrodes

Ion adsorption on the inner surface of single-walled carbon nanotubes used as electrodes for electric double-layer capacitors.

In the present study, ion adsorption on the outer and inner surfaces of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in different aqueous and organic electrolytes was analysed. It was found that the fundamental properties of tube size and electronic structure, particularly the transition between van Hove singularities (the band gap), reflected by the shape of the cyclic voltammogram and increase in ...
