Several types of supercapacitors have been developed for energy storage systems. Among them, the hybrid type has advantages such as a large capacitance per weight compared with the electric double-layer capacitator type. In this study, constant current charging and discharging tests were conducted for recently developed hybrid-type supercapacitors. Based on the experimental results, the capacitance and equivalent series resistance were obtained. The capacitance was larger than the designed capacitance at a low current but became small at a high current. In addition, the capacitance depended on the cell voltage. These results can be used to design an energy storage system.

Amorphous hydrous ruthenium oxide thin films have attracted much interest owing to the possibility of using this material in electrochemical supercapacitors. Recently, it was found that this material is also electrochromic: during the charging/discharging cycle, the optical transmittance of the thin film is modulated. The physical and chemical origin of this phenomenon is not fully understood yet. In this work, we performed in-situ Raman spectroscopy measurements on amorphous hydrous ruthenium oxide thin films during the charging/discharging cycles. Unambiguous changes in the Raman spectrum were observed as protons were injected or extracted from the thin film. When the samples were annealed to reduce the water content, there is a consistent trend in the Raman spectrum. The origins of the Raman features and their relation to the electrochromic and/or supercapacitor characteristics is discussed.

Sulphonated polysulphone (SPS) has been synthesized and subsequently applied as binder for graphene oxide (GO)-based electrodes for development of electrochemical supercapacitors. Electrochemical performance of the electrode was investigated using cyclic voltammetry in 1M Na₂SO₄ and 1M KOH solution. The fabricated supercapacitors gave a specific capacitance of 161.6 and 216.8 F/g with 215.4 W/kg and 450 W/kg of power density, in 1M Na₂SO₄ and 1M KOH solutions, respectively. This suggests that KOH is a better electrolyte than Na₂SO₄ for studying the electrochemical behavior of electroactive material, and also suggests SPS is a good binder for fabrication of a GO based electrode.

We have reported to make nanostructured cobalt oxide electrode that have large capacitance over than 400F/g (specific capacitance) and good cycleability. But, It had serious demerits of low voltage range under 0.5V and low power density. Therefore, we need to increase voltage range of cobalt oxide electrode. we report here on the electrochemical properties of sol-gel-derived nanoparticulate cobalt xerogel in 1M KOH solution and aqueous polymeric gel electrolyte. In solution electrolyte, cobalt oxide electrode had over than 250F/g capacitance consisted of EDLC and pseudocapacitance. In gel electrolyte, cobalt oxide electrode had around 100F/g capacitance. This capacitance was only surface EDLC. In solution electrolyte, potassium ion as working ion reacted with both of layers easily. However, In gel electrolyte, reacted with only surface-active layer. Its very hard to reach resistive layer. So, e have studied on pretretmetn of electrode to contain working ions easily. We'll report more details.

Amorphous MnO$_2$$.$ 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. In order to observe morphology and crystalline structure of MnO$_2$powder, we analyzed it by XRD and SEM. The effect of oxidation treatment on MnO$_2$electrode was observed by different oxidation voltages. A maximum capacitance of 364F/g was obtained by 1.1V oxidation treatment. This capacitance was attributed solely to a surface redox mechanism

본 논문에서는 수퍼캐패시터(Supercapacitor 이하 수퍼�L)를 이용하여 엔진 발전기를 전원으로 하는 권상부하 시스템의 부하전력 분배와 회생에너지의 저장 기법을 제안한다. 대표적인 권상부하 시스템인 크레인의 경우, 크게 두가지 운전모드로 동작한다. 첫번째 운전모드는 부하를 들어올리는 동작(Hoist-Up)으로서 가속 종료시점에서 최대전력을 소모한다. 두번째 운전모드는 부하를 내리는 동작(Hoist-Down)으로서 이때 희생되는 전력은 일반적으로 저항을 통하여 소모된다. 본 논문에서는 에너지 저장장치의 하나인 수퍼�L을 이용하여 Hoist-Down 운전에서 희생되는 에너지를 저장하고 Hoist-Up 운전에서 필요한 전력을 보조하도록 하였다. 수퍼�L의 충방전을 위하여 상용 3상 인버터와 동일한 구조를 가지는 DC-DC 컨버터를 제안하였다. 또한 발전기와 수퍼캐패시터의 Load Sharing을 최적화하기 위한 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안한 방법을 이용하면 디젤엔진 발전기의 크기를 대폭 줄일 수 있고 따라서 연비의 개선, 소음 및 공해의 감소를 기대할 수 있다. 제안한 방법의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 시뮬레이션과 실험을 수행하였다.

This paper describers a bidirectional DC/DC converter for charging and discharging of a supercapacitor. Simulations are carried out to see the operation and performance of the 3kW-rated converter. Simulation results show that the charging/discharging characteristics is sufficient for the compensation of the response delay of a fuel cell.

A derivative of 1,4-Naphthoquinone coded HBU671 was synthesized and used in addition to activated carbon as composite electrode for supercapacitor application. From the electrochemical properties analysis, a specific capacitance of about $300F\;g^{-1}$ exhibited almost two times of that of activated carbon at a scan rate of $100mV\;s^{-1}$ and a potential window of - 0.2 - 1V. This improvement is due to the inherent redox reaction in HBU671. Cycle test also proved that this composite is still stable even after 1000 cycle within the applied potential window and it is highly recommended for practical application.

Recently, transition-metal-based hydroxide materials have attracted significant attention in various electrochemical applications owing to their low cost, high stability, and versatility in composition and morphology. Among these applications, transition-metal-based hydroxides have exhibited significant potential in supercapacitors owing to their multiple redox states that can considerably enhance the supercapacitance performance. In this study, nanostructured Ni-Mn double hydroxide is directly grown on a conductive substrate using an electrodeposition method. Ni-Mn double hydroxide exhibits excellent electrochemical charge-storage properties in a 1 M KOH electrolyte, such as a specific capacitance of 1364 Fg-1 at a current density of 1 mAcm-2 and a capacitance retention of 94% over 3000 charge-discharge cycles at a current density of 10 mAcm-2. The present work demonstrates a scalable, time-saving, and cost-effective approach for the preparation of Ni-Mn double hydroxide with potential application in high-charge-storage kinetics, which can also be extended for other transition-metal-based double hydroxides.
