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.

Adsorption of nitrate from aqueous solution using activated carbon-supported Fe0, Fe2 (SO4)3, and FeSO4

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...

Improvement of the structural and chemical properties of a commercial activated carbon for its application in electrochemical capacitors

The present paper shows that the performance of an inexpensive activated carbon used in electrochemical capacitors can be significantly enhanced by a simple treatment with KOH at 850oC. The changes in the specific surface area, as well as in the surface chemistry, lead to high capacitance values, which provide a noticeable energy density. The KOH-treatment of a commercial activated carbon leads...
