Electrochemical characterization of carbon nanotubes as electrode in electrochemical double-layer capacitors
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 that the carbon nanotube electrode could be an excellent candidate as the electrode 2 4 in electrochemical double-layer capacitors. In addition, the influence of the potential scan rate, aging, and the electrolyte solution on the specific capacitance of nanotube electrodes was also studied. 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Electrochemical capacitors, also called supercapacitors, store energy using either ion adsorption (electrochemical double layer capacitors) or fast surface redox reactions (pseudo-capacitors). They can complement or replace batteries in electrical energy storage and harvesting applications, when high power delivery or uptake is needed. A notable improvement in performance has been achieved thro...

متن کاملLimits to the magnitude of capacitance in carbon nanotube array electrode based electrochemical capacitors
Nanostructured electrochemical capacitors (ECs) are advantageous for charge and energy storage due to their intrinsically large surface area, which contributes to a large electrostatic/double layer capacitor (Cdl). However, the intrinsically small density of states in nanostructures results in a quantum capacitor (CQ) in series with Cdl which could diminish the total device capacitance value (C...
