چکیده
EDLC cells based on activated carbon as host material electrodes were fabricated and tested. The MWCNT additive was added into the host material to form a nanocomposite and the effect of the MWCNTs concentration on improving the performance of the EDLC cells was explored. 1M TEABF4-PC solution was used as organic electrolyte. The nanocomposites functioned differently in improving the specific power and energy density of EDLC cells., where impedance spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge-discharge measurements were performed to characterize the EDLC cells.

Supercapacitors, which store electrical energy through reversible ion on the surface of conductive electrodes have gained enormous attention for variously portable energy storage devices. Since the capacitive performance is mainly determined by the structural and electrochemical properties of electrodes, the electrodes become more crucial to higher performance. However, due to the disordered mi...
متن کاملVoltage Dependence of Carbon - Based Supercapacitors for Pseudocapacitance Quantification
In order to understand the participation of electrical double layer and pseudocapacitance to the overall behavior of supercapacitors, a new approach to the analysis of the electrochemical data is proposed. Both the variation of the specific capacitance values and the dependence of these values with the operating voltage window (varying from 0-0.2 V to 0-1 V) were evaluated and used to quantify ...
