Spherical Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ and Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ carbon nanotube (CNT) composites were synthesized using a colloid system. The electrochemical properties of the composites were thoroughly examined to determine their applicability as hybrid capacitor anodes. The electrical conductivity of the spherical Li₄Ti₅O₁₂-CNT composite was improved over that of the spherical Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ composite. The synthesized composites were utilized as the anode of a hybrid capacitor, which was assembled with an activated carbon (AC) positive electrode. The CNTs attached on the spherical Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ particles contributed to a 51% reduction of the equivalent series of resistance of the Li₄Ti₅O₁₂-CNTs/AC hybrid capacitor compared to the Li₄Ti₅O₁₂/AC hybrid capacitor. Moreover, the Li₄Ti₅O₁₂-CNTs/AC hybrid capacitor showed a larger capacitance than the Li₄Ti₅O₁₂/AC hybrid capacitor; specifically, the Li₄Ti₅O₁₂-CNT/AC hybrid capacitor showed 1.6 times greater capacitance at 40 cycles with a 10 mA cm⁻² loading current density.

Rayon 분리막에 poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)를 코팅하고 potassium polyacrylate (PAAK)-KOH 하이드로겔 전해질을 사용하여 기계적 강도 및 전기화학적 성질을 시험하였고, 이를 활성탄 수퍼커패시터에 적용하여 커패시터 특성을 조사하였다. PEO 코팅량의 증가에 따라 기계적 강도는 증가하였으며, PEO 함량을 5 wt.% 이하로 유지하면 이온전도도가 $10^{-2}S\;cm^{-1}$ 이상을 유지하여 실제 커패시터에의 활용이 가능하였다. 결과적으로 Rayon/PEO 분리막과 PAAK/KOH 전해질을 적용한 활성탄 수퍼커패시터는 $1000mV\;s^{-1}$의 높은 스캔속도에서도 비축적용량이 1000 사이클까지 안정하게 나타나는데, 이는 PEO 코팅이 Rayon의 장섬유 필라멘트간 엉킴점을 고정시켜 고출력 안정성을 얻을 수 있기 때문이다.

Amorphous $MnO_{2}{\cdot}nH_{2}O$ in 1M KOH aqueous electrolyte proves to be an excellent electrode for a faradic electrochemical capacitor cycled between -0.5 and +1.0 versus Ag/AgCl. The effect of thermal treatment on the crystalinity, particle structure, and corresponding electrochemical properties of the resulting xerogel remained amorphous as Mn(OH)2 up to 160$^{\circ}C$. With an increase in the temperature above 200$^{\circ}C$, both the surface area and pore volume decreased sharply, because the amorphous Mn(OH)2 decomposed to form MnO that was subsequently oxidized to form crystalline Mn3O4. In addition, the changes in the crystallinity, and particle structure all had significant but coupled effects on the electrochemical properties of the xerogels. A maximum capacitance of 160.6F/g was obtained for an electrode prepared with the MnOx Xerogel calcined at 150$^{\circ}C$, which was consistent with the maxima exhibited in both the surface area and pore volume. This capacitance was attributed solely to a surface redox mechanism.

Electrochemical capacitor made with metal oxide electrode uses rapid and reversible protonation/deprotonation of metal oxide material under the aqueous acidic solution, generally. Electrochemical stability window of aqueous electrolyte-type capacitor is narrow compared to that of organic electrolyte-type capacitor. Electrochemical characteristics of electrochemical capacitor made with metal oxide electrode and lithium cation based organic electrolyte were evaluated. Electrochemical capacitor based on $RuO_2$ electrode material and 1M $LiPF_6$ in mixed solvents of EC, DEC, and EMC has anodic and cathodic specific capacitance of 145 and 142 F/g-$RuO_2{\cdot}nH_2O$, respectively, by using cyclic voltammetry with scan rate of 2 mV/sec g-$RuO_2$ in potential range of 2.0~4.2V(Li|$Li^+$).

The activated carbon materials were prepared from waste biomass by ultrasonic assisted chemical activation method (UCA), ultrasonic assisted physical activation method (UPA) and Manganese nitrogen doped carbon (Mn/N-C). The XRD result shows the turbostatic (fully disordered) structure. The cyclic voltammetry test was done at 50 mV/s using 1M sodium sulfate and the values of specific capacitance were found to be 93, 100 and 115 F/g for UCA, UPA and Mn/N-C respectively. The power density values for the samples UCA, UPA and Mn/N-C were found to be 46.04, 87.97 and 131.42 W/kg respectively. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was done at low frequency between 1 to 10 kHz. The Nyquist plot gives the resistant characteristics of the materials due to diffusional resistance at the electrode-electrolyte interface. The Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopyanalysis (EDAX) analysis showed that the percentage doping of nitrogen and manganese were 3.53 wt% and 9.44 wt% respectively. It is observed from the experiment Mn/N-C doped carbon show good physical and electrochemical properties.

본 연구는 커패시터 전극 응용을 위한 복합체 전극에 관련된 것으로 PANI와 PANI/$TiO_2$로 구성된 수퍼커패시터 전극을 제조하여 cyclic voltammetry(CV)를 이용하여 6 M KOH 수용액에서 축전량(capacitance) 특성을 조사하였다. PANI/$TiO_2$ 복합체는 간단한 in-situ 방법을 통해 다양한 비율로 합성되었다. PANI/$TiO_2$ 복합체의 형태학(morphology)적 특징을 파악하기 위해서 주사전자현미경(SEM)과 투과전자현미경(TEM)을 통해 분석하였고, X선 회절 분석기(XRD)를 이용하여 복합체의 결정화도와 담지된 $TiO_2$의 입자크기를 확인하였다. 전기화학적 시험 결과, 아닐린 대비 $TiO_2$의 주입량이 10 wt%일 때 가장 우수한 축전량(626 $Fg^{-1}$)을 나타냈고 높은 주사속도인 100 $mVs^{-1}$에서 286 $Fg^{-1}$의 비축전량을 나타내었다. 이는 폴리아닐린(PANI) 매트릭스(matrix)에 균일하게 담지된 $TiO_2$(~6.5 nm)가 효과적인 연결 구조를 형성하여 전하이동현상이 증가하고, 축전이 가능한 반응면적이 증가한 것과 관련있다고 판단된다.

Various types of room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) containing 1,1-dicyano-1-acetylmethanide anion ($[C(CN)_2(COCH_3)]^-$, $[DCNAcC]^-$) were prepared and their physical and electrochemical properties were studied. All of these ILs exhibited high thermal stabilities over $200^{\circ}C$ and relatively high ionic conductivities up to 29.4 $mS\;cm^{-1}$ at $80^{\circ}C$. Although the ionic conductivity of IL containing bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)-imide ($[Tf_2N]^-$) anion is higher than that of ILs bearing $[DCNAcC]^-$ anion, the specific capacitance of ILs bearing $[DCNAcC]^-$ anion are higher than that of IL containing $[Tf_2N]^-$ anion and showed high temperature dependence. Such favorable electrochemical properties of these ILs are likely to be attributed to the efficient dissociation of cation and anion at higher temperature and enhanced electrosorption of $[DCNAcC]^-$ anion at the electrode.

Activated carbons (ACs) are considered important electrode materials for supercapacitors because their large specific surface areas lead to high charging capacities. In the conventional synthesis of ACs, a substantial amount of carbon is lost during carbonization of a precursor. The development of a method to synthesize ACs in high yield would lower their manufacturing cost. Here, we demonstrate the synthesis of high-specific-surface-area NaOH-AC from carbon prepared via a hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) route, with a higher yield than that achieved through conventional pyrolysis carbonization. The amorphous carbon was derived from HTC of sugar and subsequently activated at 800℃ with various NaOH etchant/C ratios under a N₂ atmosphere. The AC prepared at 4:1 NaOH/C exhibited the highest surface area (as high as 2,918 ㎡ g^-1) and the highest specific capacitance (157 F g^-1 in 1 M aqueous Na₂SO₄ electrolyte solution) among the NaOH-AC samples prepared in this work. On the basis of their high specific capacitance, the NaOH-ACs prepared from HTC sugar are suitable for use as electrode materials for supercapacitors.

$WS_2$-W-WC embedded carbon nanofiber composites were fabricated by using electrospinning method for use in high-performance supercapacitors. In order to obtain optimum electrochemical properties for supercapacitors, $WS_2$ nanoparticles were used as precursors and the amounts of $WS_2$ precursors were controlled to 4 wt% (sample A) and 8 wt% (sample B). The morphological, structural, and chemical properties of all samples were investigated by means of field emission photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. These results demonstrated that the embedded phases of samples A and B were changed from $WS_2$ to $WS_2$-W-WC through carbothermal reaction during carbonization process. In particular, sample B presented high specific capacitance (~119.7 F/g at 5 mV/s), good high-rate capacitance (~60.5%), and superb cycleability. The enhanced electrochemical properties of sample B were explained by the synergistic effect of the using 1-D structure supports, increase of specific surface area, and improved conductivity from formation of W and WC phases.
