Application of Nanotextured Carbons for Electrochemical Energy Storage in Aqueous Medium

چکیده
Este trabalho apresenta um capacitor híbrido, com dois eletrodos diferentes trabalhando em seus intervalos de potencial ótimos. O eletrodo negativo é baseado na sorção reversível de hidrogênio, que ocorre em valores baixos de potencial em carbono com nanoporos. Ciclos galvanostáticos no intervalo de temperatura entre 20 e 60 °C demonstram que o hidrogênio é fracamente quimi-sorvido. Isto é confirmado por medidas de TPD (de-sorção em temperatura programada) no material do eletrodo após carga, que mostram um pico devido ao hidrogênio, em 200-250 °C. O eletrodo positivo é um composto feito de nanotubos de carbono, como componente minoritário, e MnO 2 . Propriedades interessantes são obtidas na presença de nanotubos, tais como desenvolvimento de porosidade, alta condutividade elétrica e uma boa elasticidade, o que acentua o poder e o ciclo de vida dos supercapacitores. O capacitor híbrido é capaz de operar em valores altos de voltagem, 2V em meio aquoso, com um ciclo de vida longo.

In this laboratory scale study, impregnated almond shell activated carbon was used as adsorbent to investigate its feasibility for nitrate adsorption from aqueous medium. The effects of activated carbon dosage and contact time have been examined in batch experiments. Experimental data show that impregnated activated carbons by Fe0, Fe2 (SO4)3, and FeSO4 were more effective than virgin almond ac...
