چکیده
We report a detailed theoretical investigation on electrochemical capacitance of a nanoscale capacitor where there is a DC coupling between the two conductors. For this “leaky” quantum capacitor, we have derived general analytic expressions of the linear and second order nonlinear electrochemical capacitance within a first principles quantum theory in the discrete potential approximation. Linear and nonlinear capacitance coefficients are also derived in a self-consistent manner without the latter approximation and the self-consistent analysis is suitable for numerical calculations. At linear order, the full quantum formula improves the semiclassical analysis in the tunneling regime. At nonlinear order which has not been studied before for leaky capacitors, the nonlinear capacitance and nonlinear nonequilibrium charge show interesting behavior. Our theory allows the investigation of crossover of capacitance from a full quantum to classical regimes as the distance between the two conductors is changed. 61.16.Ch,72.10.Bg,71.24.+q Typeset using REVTEX 1

Enhanced Cycleability of Amorphous MnO2 by Covering on α-MnO2 Needles in an Electrochemical Capacitor
An allomorph MnO₂@MnO₂ core-shell nanostructure was developed via a two-step aqueous reaction method. The data analysis of Scanning Electron Microscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy, X-Ray Diffraction and N₂ adsorption-desorption isotherms experiments indicated that this unique architecture consisted of a porous layer of amorphous-MnO₂ nano-sheets which were well grown onto the surface of α...
متن کاملGreat improvement in pseudocapacitor properties of nickel hydroxide via simple gold deposition.
In this letter, we report a facile approach to improve the capacitor properties of nickel hydroxide (Ni(OH)2) by simply coating gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) on the surface of Ni(OH)2. Au NP-deposited Ni(OH)2 (Au/Ni(OH)2) has been prepared by application of a conventional colloidal coating of Au NPs on the surface of 3D-Ni(OH)2 synthesized via a hydrothermal method. Compared with pristine Ni(OH)2...

Characterization was performed on 60 nm +/3 nm films of atomic layer deposition (ALD) hafnium dioxide (HfO2) and aluminum oxide (Al2O3), and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) silicon nitride (Si3N4) as MIM capacitor dielectric for GaAs HBT technology. The capacitance density of MIM capacitor with ALD HfO2 (2.73 fF/m 2 ) and Al2O3 (1.55 fF/m 2 ) is significantly higher than tha...
متن کاملStudies on the Capacitance of Nickel Oxide Films: Effect of Heating Temperature and Electrolyte Concentration
Nickel oxide films were prepared by electrochemically precipitating the hydroxide and heating it in air to form the oxide. The resulting oxide films behave as a capacitor. The capacitance of the oxide depends on the heating temperature, showing a maximum at 3008C. The mechanism of charge storage was studied by measuring the capacitance and surface area as a function of heating temperature, and ...
