Birnessite-type manganese dioxide($MnO_2$) was coated uniformly onto carbon nanotubes (CNTs) through a spontaneous direct redox reaction between CNTs and permanganate ions($MnO_4\;^-$). The initial specific capacitance of the $MnO_2/CNT$ nanocomposite in an organic electrolyte at a large current density of 1 A/g was 250 F/g, which is equivalent to 139 mAh/g based on the total weight of the electrode material including the electroactive material, conducting agent and binder. The specific capacitance of the $MnO_2$ in the $MnO_2/CNT$ nanocomposite was as high as 580 F/g (320 mAh/g), indicating excellent electrochemical utilization of the $MnO_2$. The addition of CNTs as a conducting agent can improve the high rate capability of $MnO_2/CNT$ nanocomposite considerably. An analysis of the in-situ X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) showed an improvement in the structural and electrochemical reversibility of the $MnO_2/CNT$ nanocomposite by heat-treatment.

Supercapacitor is a capacitor with extraordinarily high energy density, which basically consists of current collector, active material and electrolyte. Ruthenium oxide ($RuO_2$) is one of the most widely studied active materials due to its high specific capacitance and good electrical conductivity. In general, it is known that the coating of $RuO_2$ on nanoarchitectured current collector shows improved performance of energy storage device compared to the coating on the planar current collector. Especially, the surface structure with standing coaxial nanopillars are most desirable since it can provide direct paths for efficient charge transport along the axial paths of each nanopillars and the inter-nanopillar spacing allows easy access of electrolyte ions. However, well-known fabrication methods for metal or metal oxide nanopillars, such as the process using anodize aluminum oxide (AAO) templates, often require long and complicated nanoprocess.In this work, we developed relatively simple method fabricating indium tin oxide (ITO) nanopillars via sputtering. We also electrodeposited $RuO_2$ nanoparticles onto these ITO nanopillars and investigated its physical and electrochemical properties.

This paper presents two new circuit topologies of the dc busline side active resonant snubber assisted voltage source high frequency link soft switching PWM full-bridge dc-dc power converters acceptable for either utility ac 200V-rms or ac 400V-rms input grid. These high frequency switching dc-dc converters proposed in this paper are composed of a typical voltage source-fed full-bridge PWM inverter, high frequency transformer with center tap, high frequency diode rectifier with inductor input filter and dc busline side series switches with the aid of a dc busline parallel capacitive lossless snubber. All the active switches in the full-bridge arms as well as dc busline snubber can achieve ZCS turn-on and ZVS turn-off transition commutation with the aid of a transformer leakage inductive component and consequently the total switching power losses can be effectively reduced. So that, a high switching frequency operation of IGBTs in the voltage source full bridge inverter can be actually designed more than about 20 kHz. It is confirmed that the more the switching frequency of full-bridge soft switching inverter increases, the more soft switching PWM dc-dc converter with a high frequency transformer link has remarkable advantages for its power conversion efficiency and power density implementations as compared with the conventional hard switching PWM inverter type dc-dc power converter. The effectiveness of these new dc-dc power converter topologies can be proved to be more suitable for low voltage and large current dc-dc power supply as arc welding equipment from a practical point of view.

Electro-Discharge Sintering (EDS) employs a high-voltage/high-current-density pulse of electrical energy, discharged from a capacitor bank, to instantaneously consolidate powders. In the present study, a single pulse of 0.57-1.1 kJ/0.45 g-atomized spherical $Ti_{52}Zr_{28}Ni_{20}$ powders in size range of 10~30 and $30\sim50{\mu}m$ consisting of ${\beta}$-(Ti, Zr) and icosahedral phases were applied to examine the structural evolution of icosahedral phase during EDS. Structural investigation reveals that high electrical input energy facilitates complete decomposition of icosahedral phase into C14 laves and ${\beta}$-(Ti, Zr) phases. Moreover, critical input energy inducing decomposition of the icosahedral phase during EDS depends on the size of the powder. Porous Ti and W compacts have been fabricated by EDS using rectangular and spherical powders upon various input energy at a constant capacitance of $450{\mu}F$ in order to verify influence of powder shape on microstructure of porous compacts. Besides, generated heat (${\Delta}H$) during EDS, which is measured by an oscilloscope, is closely correlated with powder size.

A graphene electrode with a novel in-plane structure is proposed and successfully adopted for use in supercapacitor applications. The in-plane structure allows electrolyte ions to interact with all the graphene layers in the electrode, thereby maximizing the utilization of the electrochemical surface area. This novel structure contrasts with the conventional out-of-plane stacked structure of such supercapacitors. We herein compare the volumetric capacitances of in-plane- and out-of-plane-structured devices with reduced multi-layer graphene oxide films as electrodes. The in-plane-structured device exhibits a capacitance 2.5 times higher (i.e., $327F\;cm^{-3}$) than that of the out-of-plane-structured device, in addition to an energy density of $11.4mWh\;cm^{-3}$, which is higher than that of lithium-ion thin-film batteries and is the highest among in-plane-structured ultra-small graphene-based supercapacitors reported to date. Therefore, this study demonstrates the potential of in-plane-structured supercapacitors with high volumetric performances as ultra-small energy storage devices.

$LiMn_2O_4$와 활성탄을 양극의 활물질로 사용하여 비수계 슈퍼커패시터를 제조하고 $LiMn_2O_4$의 함량에 따른 특성을 분석하였다. Cyclic voltammetry, AC impedance 분석 등을 통하여, 활성탄의 전기 이중층으로 인한 capacitive 효과에 $Li^+$ 이온의 intercalation/deintercalation에 의한 faradaic 효과가 더해진 pseudocapacitance의 발현을 확인할 수 있었으며, $LiMn_2O_4$의 함량이 증가할수록 비정전용량 및 에너지 밀도가 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. $LiMn_2O_4:C$의 비율이 0.86:0.14인 복합 양극을 사용하여, 순수 활성탄 양극 대비 2배 이상인 23.83 F/cc의 비정전용량과 17.51 Wh/L의 에너지밀도를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한, 1,000회 충방전 후에도 60% 이상 향상된 비정전용량과 에너지 밀도를 얻을 수 있었다.

Fuel cell power system is one of the most promising energy source for the alternative energy because it has unique advantages such as high energy density, no power drop during operation, and feasible to make compact size. However, due to very low response time, fuel cell is difficult to correspond to drastic load changes and start-up operation. For solving these problem, fuel cell power system must include energy storage device such as Li-Poly battery or super capacitor. Therefore, bi-directional DC-DC converter must be required for this storage device and fuel cell-PCS control. This paper presents a design and modeling of the bi-directional DC/DC converter. Firstly, we present modeling the boost and buck mode of the bi-directional converter through both PWM switch model and state space averaging technique. Secondly, in order to minimize output ripple and transient response overshoot, we have two identical DC-DC converters interleaved and adopt two-loop voltage-current controller. The proposed bi-directional DC-DC converter's modeling method and control design have been verified with computer simulation and experimentation.

This paper presents a nontraditional laser power system in which an active compensated pulsed alternator (ACPA) drives a flashlamp directly without the use of capacitor groups. As a result, the volume of the laser system is decreased because of the high energy density of the ACPA. However, the difficulty in matching the output of the alternator with the laser flashlamp is a significant issue and needs to be well analyzed. In order to solve this problem, based on the theory for ACPA, the authors propose a simplified model for the system of ACPA with flashlamp load by the way of circuit simulation. The simulation results preliminarily illuminate how the performance of the ACPA laser power system is affected. Meanwhile, the simulation results can also supply a consultation for future ACPA laser power system design and control.
