Microstructure and electrode characteristics of Ti-V-Cu-Cr-Ni metal hydride electrode alloy have been investigated by XRD, FESEM-EDS and EIS measurements. The result shows that the alloy is mainly composed of V-based solid solution phase with body-centered-cubic structure and TiNi-based secondary phase. The discharge capacity increases with increasing temperature in a wider temperature region from 303 K to 343 K. The result of electrochemical impedance spectrometry indicates that the charge transfer resistance decreases with increasing temperature, while the exchange current density in the bulk of the alloy increase with increasing temperature.

AbstractTwo hydrothermal techniques under microwave irradiation were used to synthesize γ-MnO2 from 90°C to 150°C in 10−30 min. The first technique is based on reducing KMnO4 with MnSO4, and the second one involves liquid-phase oxidation between MnSO4 and (NH4)2S2O8. The structures and morphologies of the samples were analyzed using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and N2 physisorption measurements. The electrochemical properties were evaluated through cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The γ-MnO2 materials obtained by the first technique mainly exhibited nanorods with diameters of 40–60 nm, and the samples obtained by the second technique showed flower-like microspheres with diameters of 1−2 µm; each flower was composed of nanosheets with a thickness of 10−20 nm. The processing time directly depends on the size of the nanorods. The sample synthesized by the first technique at 150°C and 10 min has the highest specific surface area of up to 59.08 m2 g−1 and mean pore diameter of 34.11 nm. Furthermore, this sample exhibits a near-rectangular cyclic voltammetry curves and high specific capacitance of 331.3 F g−1 in 0.1 M Na2SO4 solution at 5 mV s−1 scan rate. Graphic abstract

The purpose of this paper is to develop feasible composite electrodes with a long cycle life and large specific capacitance and to investigate optimal ratio between aniline and carbon aerogels (CA) materials. The characterization of the composite electrode materials was studied by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and the constant charge-discharge. The specific capacitance of the composite electrode materials, measured using cyclic voltammetry at scan rate of 1mV•s-1, was found to be 1139.66F•g-1. For a simple supercapcitor, the highest specific capacitance (127.53 F•g-1 at 30mA) is obtained at ratio between aniline and CA is 1:4.

Microstructure and Some Dynamic Parameters of Ti-V-Pd-Cr-Ni metal hydride electrode alloy have been investigated by XRD, FESEM and EIS measurements. The result shows that the alloy is mainly composed of bcc phase and TiNi-based secondary phase. The discharge capacity increases with increasing temperature in a wider temperature region from 303 K to 343 K. The result of electrochemical impedance spectrometry indicates that RT decreases with increasing temperature, which is 2.392Ω, 0.531Ω and 0.156Ω at 303K, 323K and 343K, respectively. However, I0 increases with increasing temperature, which is 72.76 mA g-1, 327.75 mA g-1 and 1262.88 mA g-1 at 303K, 323K and 343K, respectively.
