Enhanced capacitance of manganese oxide via confinement inside carbon nanotubes.

چکیده
The confinement within carbon nanotubes (CNTs) improves the electrochemical reversibility of CNT-confined MnO(2) nanoparticles and benefits their capacitive enhancement, which exhibit a specific capacitance of 225 F g(-1) for the composites and MnO(2) normalized capacitance as high as 1250 F g(-1).

Effects of Confinement in Carbon Nanotubes on the Performance and Lifetime of Fischer-Tropsch Iron Nano Catalysts
The effects of confinement in carbon nanotubes on Fischer-Tropsch (FT) activity, selectivity and lifetime of Carbon NanoTubes (CNTs) supported iron catalysts are reported. A method was developed to control the position of the catalytic sites on either inner or outer surface of carbon nanotubes. TEM analyses revealed that more than 80% of iron oxide particles can be controlled to be position...
متن کاملWater Plasma Functionalized CNTs/MnO2 Composites for Supercapacitors
A water plasma treatment applied to vertically-aligned multiwall carbon nanotubes (CNTs) synthesized by plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition gives rise to surface functionalization and purification of the CNTs, along with an improvement of their electrochemical properties. Additional increase of their charge storage capability is achieved by anodic deposition of manganese dioxide lining t...
متن کاملEffect of percolation on the capacitance of supercapacitor electrodes prepared from composites of manganese dioxide nanoplatelets and carbon nanotubes.
Here we demonstrate significant improvements in the performance of supercapacitor electrodes based on 2D MnO2 nanoplatelets by the addition of carbon nanotubes. Electrodes based on MnO2 nanoplatelets do not display high areal capacitance because the electrical properties of such films are poor, limiting the transport of charge between redox sites and the external circuit. In addition, the mecha...

The chemistry of high-performance magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents remains an active area of research. In this work, we demonstrate that the potassium permanganate-based oxidative chemical procedures used to synthesize graphite oxide or graphene nanoparticles leads to the confinement (intercalation) of trace amounts of Mn(2+) ions between the graphene sheets, and that these manganese ...
متن کاملGraphene oxide nanoribbons and their applications in supercapacitors
We report the enhanced capacitance of the Multi-Walled Carbon NanoTubes (MWCNTs) after a chemical unzipping process in concentrated sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and potassium permanganate (KMnO4). The effects of the test duration and temperature were investigated on the unzipping process of the MWCNTs to synthesize the graphene oxide nanoribbons. The SEM and TEM studies were carried out on untreated a...
