Laser Direct Writing of Hydrous Ruthenium Dioxide Micro-Pseudocapacitors
نویسندگان
چکیده
We are using a laser engineering approach to develop and optimize hydrous ruthenium dioxide (RuOxHy or RuO2·0.5 H2O) pseudocapacitors. We employ a novel laser forward transfer process, Matrix Assisted Pulsed Laser Evaporation Direct Write (MAPLE-DW), in combination with UV laser machining, to fabricate mesoscale pseudocapacitors and microbatteries under ambient temperature and atmospheric conditions. Thin films with the desired high surface area morphology are obtained without compromising their electrochemical performance. The highest capacitance structures are achieved by depositing mixtures of sulfuric acid with the RuO2·0.5 H2O electrode material. Our pseudocapacitors exhibit linear discharge behavior and their properties scale proportionately when assembled in parallel and series configurations.

We have successfully employed laser direct write and micromachining to fabricate high capacity hydrous ruthenium oxide (RuOxHy or RuO2 • xH2O) microultracapacitors. A laser direct-write process is used to deposit uniform pads of RuO2 • 0.5H2O in sulfuric acid under ambient temperature and atmospheric conditions. Ultraviolet laser micromachining is used to tailor the shape and size of the deposi...

Ruthenium dioxide nanoparticles (RuO2 ) with an average particle size of 50 nm are readily synthesized from RuCl3.xH2O via the precipitation process in the presence of in-situ sodium octanoate as anionic surfactant. The phase composition, morphology, lattice parameters and size of nanoparticles in these products are characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffrac...

The ability of 8 picosecond pulse lasers for three dimensional direct-writing in the bulk of transparent dielectrics is assessed through a comparative study with a femtosecond laser delivering 600 fs pulses. The comparison addresses two main applications: the fabrication of birefringent optical elements and two-step machining by laser exposure and post-processing by chemical etching. Formation ...
