Cost effectiveness is an important parameter for producing DSSCs as compared to the widely used conventional silicon based solar cells. A fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) substrate coated with a catalytic amount of platinum is used as counter electrode in dye-sensitized solar cell. Carbonaceous materials are quite attractive to replace platinum due to their high electronic conductivity, corrosion resistance towards $I_{2}$, good catalytic effect and low cost. In this paper, the unit DSSCs with Pt and CNT as a counter electrode were connected in series-parallel externally, then the current-voltage curves were investigated to find out the connection characteristics of the DSSC with CNT counter electrode. The connection characteristics of the DSSC with CNT counter electrode is superior to that of the DSSC with Pt counter electrode. And a parallel connection of the DSSC with CNT counter electrode has higher efficiency than a series connection of that.

흑연 및 카본계 재료는 층상구조 내부로 리튬이온을 가역적으로 intercalation /deintercalation시킬 수 있는 특성을 지니고 있다. 리튬이온이 intercalation된 카본의 전기화학적 퍼텐셜은 리튬금속에 가까운 값이므로, 리튬이온전지의 부극용 재료로 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 petroleum pitch를 열분해시킨 후, 700~$1300^{\circ}C$의 서로 다른 온도에서 각각 3시간 동안 열처리한 카본을 사용하였다. XRD 측정 결과, 카본의 결정성은 열처리 온도와 함께 증가하였다. 충방전 특성 시험 및 전해질과 카본전극 표면 사이의 계면 반응특성은 각각 0.1C의 속도로 정전류법에 의한 충방전 시험과 순환전압전류법(CV)에 의해 평가하였으며, 열처리 온도와 충방전 횟수에 따른 용량과의 관계에 대하여 논의하였다. 가역용량(reversible capacity)은 열처리 온도가 증가함에 따라 $1000^{\circ}C$까지는 증가하지만, 그 이상의 온도에서는 약간 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 또한, 충방전 횟수가 증가할수록 충전용량은 감소하지만, 가역특성(reversibility)은 향상되었다.

Carbon is an attractive material on electro double capacitor which depend on charge storage in the electrode/electrolyte interfacial double layer. Carbonaceous material for double layer capacitor can be obtained from carbon powder, fiber, film and porous carbon sheet. The capacitance of electrodes using an activated carbon was influenced by a filling density of the carbon, thickness and internal resistance of the electrode. In this study. to reduce internal resistance and increase electric conductivity of the electrode. activated carbon/carbon(AC/C) composite electrode was fabricated. The capacitors which have energy densities of 68F/g(at $30^{\circ}C$), 109F/g(at $60^{\circ}C$) and $68F/cm^3$(at $30^{\circ}C$), $111F/cm^3$(at $60^{\circ}C$) were fabricated by using AC/C composite electrodes.

Electric double-layer capacitors based on charge storage at the interface between a high surface area activated carbon electrode and an electrolyte solution are characterized by their long cycle-life and high power density in comparison with batteries. However, energy density of electric double-layer capacitors obtained at present is about 6 Wh/kg at a power density of 500W/kg which is smaller as compared with that of batteries and limits the wide spread use of the capacitors. Therefore, a new capacitor that shows larger energy density than that of electric double-layer capacitors is proposed. The new capacitor is the hybrid capacitor consisting of activated carbon cathode, carbonaceous anode and an organic electrolyte. Maximum voltage applicable to the cell is over 4.2V that is larger than that of the electric double-layer capacitor. As a result, discharged energy density on the basis of stacked volume of electrode, current collector and separator is more than 18Wh/l at a power density of 500W/l.

본 연구는 리튬이온 이차전지용 탄소전극을 개발하기 위하여 다양한 종류의 흑연과 MCMB6-28을 대상으로 이루어졌다. 이들의 층간거리는 $3.358{\sim}3.363{\AA}$, BET 비 표면적은 $2.95{\sim}26.15m^2/g$이었다. 이들의 전기화학적 특성은 층간거리가 크고 적절한 크기의 BET 비 표면적을 가질 때 리튬의 삽입과 탈삽입 거동이 우수하였다. 다양한 결정성계 탄소전극 활물질에 도전재로 KJ-Black을 0, 3, 5wt% 첨가하였을 때 도전제의 함량이 많을수록 전극과 전해질의 계면저항은 작아지나 3wt%를 첨가하였을 때 우수한 가역성을 보였다. 정전류 충 방전 시 인가되는 전류밀도를 증가시킴에 따라 탄소부극의 방전용량은 작아졌다.

This study demonstrated the synthesis of high-surface-area metal-free carbonaceous electrodes (CE) from anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates, and their application as supercapacitors. Multi-walled Carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were interwoven into a porous network sheet that was attached to one side of AAO template through a vacuum filtration of the homogeneously dispersed MWCNT toluene solution. Subsequently, the conducting polymer was electrochemically grown into the porous MWCNT network and nanochannels of AAO, leading to the formation of a carbonaceous metal-free film electrode with a high surface area in the given geometrical surface area. Typical conducting polymers such as polypyrrole (PPY) and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) were examined as model systems, and the resulting electrodes were investigated as supercapacitors (SCs). These SCs exhibited stable, high capacitances, with values as high as 554 F/g, 1.08 F/$cm^2$ for PPY and 237 F/g, 0.98 F/$cm^2$ for PEDOT, that were normalized by both the mass and geometric area.

To design the effective usage of electric double layer capacitors (EDLCs) used for a storage device of dye sensitized solar cell (DSC) energy, we first investigated the accumulation state of electrical charges and the charge behavior in the EDLCs. Based on the results, the voltage characteristics of EDLCs connected to DSC energy were evaluated. The results showed that the charge accumulation region concentrated on the central part of the carbonaceous electrode in EDLCs and the required times for charging and discharging were almost the same.

This article is concerned with the overview of the activated carbon fibers. Firstly, this review provides a comprehensive survey of the overall processes for the synthesis of the activated carbon fibers from the carbonaceous materials. Subsequently, the physicochemical properties such as pore structures and surface oxygen functional groups of the activated carbon fibers were discussed in detail. Finally, as electrochemical applications of the activated carbon fibers to electrode materials for electric double-layer capacitor (EDLC), the electrochemical characteristics of the activated carbon fiber electrodes and the various methods to improve the capacitance and rate capability were introduced. In particular, the effect of pore length distribution (PLD) on kinetics of double-layer charging/discharging was discussed based upon the experimental and theoretical results in our work. And then we discussed in detail the applications of the activated carbon fibers to adsorbent materials for purification of liquid and gas.
