The electrochemical performance of the as-synthesized mesoporous NiCo2O4 flower-like products as electrode materials for battery-type supercapacitors is systematically investigated in detail.

Supercapacitors are considered promising energy storage systems due to their high power density, fast charge-discharge, long service lifetime, wide operating temperature range and excellent capacitance retention. The electrochemical performance of the supercapacitors depends upon numerous factors such as nature of electrode materials, type of electrolyte and separator thickness, etc. Among these factors, electrolyte used in supercapacitor plays an important role in deciding final characteristics of supercapacitors. In recent decades, tremendous research work has been on the development of novel electrolytes and electrode/electrolyte configurations. In this chapter, we aimed to focus on the role of inorganic electrolytes used in supercapacitors.

Electrode materials with a high specific capacitance, outstanding reversibility and excellent cycle stability are constantly pursued for supercapacitors. In this paper, we present an approach to improve the electrochemical performance by combining the advantages of both inorganic and organic. Ni-MnO2/PANi-co-PPy composites are synthesized, with the copolymer of aniline/pyrrole being coated on the surface of Ni-doped manganese dioxide nanospheres. The inorganic–organic composite enables a substantial increase in its specific capacitance and cycle stability. When the mass ratio of Ni-MnO2 to aniline and pyrrole mixed monomer is 1:5, the composite delivers high specific capacitance of 445.49[Formula: see text]F/g at a scan rate of 2[Formula: see text]mV/s and excellent cycle stability of 61.65% retention after 5000 cycles. The results indicate that the Ni-MnO2/PANi-co-PPy composites are promising electrode materials for future supercapacitors application.

As one of the most outstanding high-efficiency and environmentally friendly energy storage devices, the supercapacitor has received extensive attention across the world. As a member of transition metal oxides widely used in electrode materials, manganese dioxide (MnO2) has a huge development potential due to its excellent theoretical capacitance value and large electrochemical window. In this paper, MnO2 was prepared at different temperatures by a liquid phase precipitation method, and polyaniline/manganese dioxide (PANI/MnO2) composite materials were further prepared in a MnO2 suspension. MnO2 and PANI/MnO2 synthesized at a temperature of 40 °C exhibit the best electrochemical performance. The specific capacitance of the sample MnO2-40 is 254.9 F/g at a scanning speed of 5 mV/s and the specific capacitance is 241.6 F/g at a current density of 1 A/g. The specific capacitance value of the sample PANI/MnO2-40 is 323.7 F/g at a scanning speed of 5 mV/s, and the specific capacitance is 291.7 F/g at a current density of 1 A/g, and both of them are higher than the specific capacitance value of MnO2. This is because the δ-MnO2 synthesized at 40 °C has a layered structure, which has a large specific surface area and can accommodate enough electrolyte ions to participate the electrochemical reaction, thus providing sufficient specific capacitance.

AbstractA comparison of pulsed laser deposited PbZr0.53Ti0.47O3 (PZT) thin film capacitors with SrRuO3 (SRO) and LaNiO3 (LNO) electrodes on (001) yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) and lattice matched (001) LaAlO3 substrates is presented. Both electrode materials allow for the formation of ferroelectric capacitors with large remnant polarization (20-30 μC/cm2) and negligible fatigue, although slight differences arise regarding the promotion of either the rhombohedral or tetragonal phases of PZT. Far more crucial seems to be the tendency of SrRuO3 to develop a rougher surface at either small (<30 nm) or large thickness (>100 nm), and on YSZ substrates. In those cases a highly defective and possibly low dielectric interface forms between the electrode and the ferroelectric layer, resulting in greatly degraded ferroelectric performance. LaNiO3 is free from these limitations except for the cracks forming at very large thickness (>300 nm), and therefore appears as a more versatile electrode material.
