Capacitive Deionization with carbon nanotubes electrodes as an electrochemical means of saving energy and delivering clean water. Abstract:In the 21st century, nanotechnology has been proven to be a new solution to mitigate the the word,s energy crisis and environment contamination problems.Electrochemical properties of carbon nanotubes have shown unique applications in the fields of energy storage system and water purification.Carbon nanotubes have high conductivity, large surface area and optimal pore size distribution,and have been proposed as electrodes for supercapacitors.on the other hand,the electrochemical capacitor properties of carbon nanotubes make it possible for water purification by capacitive deionization(CDI). Capacitive deionization is a water purification technology with low cost,energy saving,simple and easy operating, It,s shown to be crucial significance for the prevention of water pollution,safeguard of people health and continual economy development.Key word:carbon nanotubes electrodes,Capacitive Deionization , CDI Introduction:The removal of dissolved inorganic contaminants such as metal ions from aqueous solutions is of great importance in environmental processes. Compared with conventional deionization technologies such as evaporation, reverse osmosis,and electrodialysis, electrosorption has been shown to be more efficient and energy saving water purification technology since it is conducted at ambient conditions and low voltages (e.g. 1 V) with no secondary waste and requires no high-pressure pumps, membranes, distillation columns, or thermal heaters [1-10].In the electrosorption process ionic species are removed from aqueous solutions by the imposed electric field via electrostatic attraction within the electrode electrolyte interface.Carbon materials of porous structure constitute very attractive electrodes for CDI processes because of their high specific surface area and their good electrical conductivity[12]. Activated carbons (ACs) are the electrode materials that are used most frequently in CDI, but have several intrinsic disadvantages, such as low conductivity and irregular pore structures that result in limited electrosorption capacity. Thus, the most effective way to improve CDI performance is to develop new electrode materials with high conductivity and regular pore structures,such as Carbon nanotube (CNTs), due to their high ratio of surface area to volume and other outstanding properties, are suitable to be used as electrodes for CDI, which has been described in our previous studies [13]..Text:1.BackgroundElectrodialysis is the closest cousin of capacitive deionization systems and has been successfully used for the desalination of brackish waters. Due to its similarity to CDI processes, it is instructive to examine this technology from two perspectives. Firstly, it is a commercially accepted technology for water treatment. Secondly,there are commonalities between CDI and electrodialysis processes particularly with respect to ion transport in solution as well as through membranes that are worth noting and comparing.A critical review of electrodialysis separation technologies was written by Xu and Huang in 2008 [14]. In addition, Davis has written an excellent chapter concerning the electrodialysis process in Handbook of Industrial Membrane Technology[15] .2.CDI historyA recent review of the CDI process directed specifically to the desalination community has been presented by Oren [16]. In this article, all of the fundamental aspects concerning the electro-adsorption process were exposed and therefore will not be examined in detail here. Historically, CDI dates back to the pioneering electrochemical demineralization work of the Caudle and Johnson groups in the late 1960s and early 1970s [17-19]. Oren also worked on his own version of CDI, which he referred to as electrochemical parameter pumping [20,21]. During the late 1970s until the mid-1980s, Oren was the single largest advocate of the CDI process publishing papers on new carbon materials as well as fundamental electrochemical double layer aspects of electrodes[22-26]. However, a renewed interest in the CDI concept came in the mid-1990s when Farmer et al.[27-29]at Lawrence Liver more National Labs (LLNL), working on high surface area conducting carbon aerogels, developed their own version of a CDI device. The crucial aspect of these new materials was their large increase in surface area. As already stated, capacitance scales with surface area(); thus high surface area carbon materials used as electrodes improve capacitance and have better performance with respect to electro-sorption. These high surface area materials have been essential in the development of both CDI devices and also electrical double layer (EDL) capacitors (sometimes called super or ultracapacitors). Both processes (EDL capacitors and CDI systems) operate in an identical fashion by adsorbing ions at a charged interface.Therefore, these aerogels and other similar high surface area conducting carbon materials can be used in both devices.3.The electrodialysis processElectrodialysis involves moving ions in a potential field across polymeric anion and cation-exchange membranes.Cation- and anion-exchange membranes are placed alternatively between the cathode and the anode. When a potential difference is applied between both electrodes, the cations are drawn towards the cathode (negative electrode) and anions towards the anode (positive electrode). The cations migrate through the cation-exchange membranes, but are retained by the anion-exchange membranes. The opposite occurs with the anions that migrate through the anion-exchange membranes but not through the cation-exchange membranes. This movement produces a rise in the concentration of ions in some compartments (brinestreams) and the decrease in the adjacent ones (dilute streams), from which purified water exits. As a result of the anion and cation migration, electric current flows between the cathode and anode with equal charge equivalents transferred so that charge balance is maintained in each stream.4.the material of CDIMost studies related to CDI have focused on the preparation of electrodes in order to increase capacitance. Various carbon materials with a high specific surface area and good conductivity have been used to produce electrodes for CDI. High-performance carbon electrodes have been developed with materials such as carbon cloth, carbon nanotubes, and carbon aerogels [30-36].So ,the material of the electrode is very important .In this work ,we use carbon nanotube due to its high conductivity,large surface area and optimal pore distribution.It has high efficient in deionization.Carbon Nanotubes(CNTs) have the character of optimum pore size,high surface area and low electrical resistivity. As a typical representative of nanomaterial, they have drawn widespread application in the field of hydrogen storage, quantum nanowires,catalyst supports and energy storage,quantum nanowires,catalyst supports and energy storges(eg.supercapacitor),ect.5. DevelopmentAlthough it is still in its infancy, electrosorptiod deionization is a new desalination technology which has been proposed recently to lower water treatment cost and prevent environmental pollution[37,38]. It is energy-efficient and environmentally friendly since it is operated at low DC voltages without high-pressure pumps, thermal heaters, high direct current voltage, or chemicals.This process removes inorganic ions by charge eparation[39]. An aqueous solution containing dissolved inorganic salts passes between matching pairs of activated carbon electrodes on which electric potential is applied. Inorganic ions are held at the charged electrode surfaces and removed from aqueous solution. After the electrodes become saturated with ions, they are regenerated by releasing the absorbed ions into the purge stream through the reversed potential.It would seem that a lot more research and work are needed for its commercialization in thepresent state. Even though it requires low energy consumption, its capital cost is higher than other technologies due to a high production cost of the module. The module mainly consists of electrodes,spacers, and current collectors. The cost of the electrode manufacture is the highest among the module elements. Accordingly, if this technology can be applied to desalination field cost-effectively,it is essential to develop a carbon electrode that has a reasonable price and high ion adsorption Capacity.Conclusions:The CDI technology is young and needs testing. As Oren[40] reminds us, there are only a few companies trying to commercialize this technology. While some results ofthese early commercialization stories seem to look promising, no information can be obtained on the length of field-testing, or how the electrodes behaved after longer periods of operation. More work remains, however, we should remember the pioneering work of Loeb and Sourirajan on RO membranes[41] .Their work on new materials made presentday reverse osmosis of seawater possible. Perhaps new electrode materials and better process control strategies will make this true for CDI. One hopes that we can recover our water resources and save energy as well.References:[1] Welgemoed, T.J.; Schutte, C.F. Capacitive deionization technology:An alternative desalination solution.

降至2.5V，在不远的将来还将降至1.9V 左右［2］.根据Kumagai等［2］的报道，五氧化二铌（Nb2O5）是少数的几个充电电压低于2 V的阳极材料.1981年，Reichman等［3］首次将Nb2O5应用于锂离子电池的电极材料.Nb2O5材料具有不同的晶体结构，其充电／放电行为也各不相同.Koshiba等也曾对Nb2O5的不同晶体结构与其电化学行为做过深入研究，发现四方形结构的Nb2O5具有非常好的脱嵌锂离子能力.Nb2O5的理论电容量值约200mA·h／g.相对于Li＋／Li，其工作电压平台较低，约1.5V［4－6］，故Nb2O5材料被纳入可靠的阳极候选材料之一，但其导电性能较低，电导率σ仅3×10－6 S／cm［7］.根据现有的文献资料，有若干种方法来克服Nb2O5材料电导率低的问题，例如，通过在铌电极体系中引入一些导电因素的方法，通过增加碳黑导电剂的比例，可以使电极的倍率性能得到显著提高，但引入碳黑材料后会导致电极电容量值的下降［6］.最近，Dunn实验小组［8］报道了多孔Nb2O5薄膜电极的合成，显著提高了Nb2O5电极的倍率性能，但是有限的膜厚度（约200nm）极大限制了其在很多领域的应用.同时，有相关文献报道，尺寸在几百纳米至几微米之间的晶体材料具有最佳的电化学性能.为了增加Nb2O5材料固有的导电性，而不引入其他导电材料，本文采用酚醛树脂作为模板，制作尺寸合适且相对均一的Nb2O5晶体材料，再采用高温热处理的方法来增加Nb2O5材料固有的导电性.1 实验方法及设备1.1 Nb2O5晶体的合成为得到尺寸均一且尺寸分布在几百纳米至几微米的晶体材料，本实验使用酚醛树脂作为模板来辅助Nb2O5晶体颗粒的生长.合成方法如下：将1.0g五氯化铌（NbCl5）粉末，0.333g三嵌段共聚物F127与0.5 mL 37%的浓盐酸共同溶解于10mL乙醇溶液中.将0.5 mL 20%酚醛树脂寡聚体乙醇溶液加入上述溶液中，搅拌2h形成无色透明溶液.将该无色透明溶液转移至玻璃表面皿中静置，至溶剂挥发完全形成凝胶.该凝胶置于140℃条件下保温12h后，置于180℃保温12h，使其进一步聚合.随后，将该凝胶置于马弗炉中在空气条件下煅烧除去碳组分，升温程序为3h内由室温升至530℃，30 min内由530℃升至720℃，并在720℃下保温10h，得到的白色粉末状Nb2O5在900℃下分别由氮气和氢气退火处理4h.样品分别标记为PA－Nb2O5－N2和PA－Nb2O5－H2，两个样品的颜色分别为白色和蓝色.1.2 材料结构的检测与表征材料的晶体结构用X 线衍射仪测得，样品的扫描范围（2θ）为10°～80°.样品颗粒的形貌用扫描电子显微镜（SEM）来观察.1.3 电极材料的组装及电化学性能测试在电极制备中，按照质量比m（活性物质材料）∶m（碳黑）∶m（聚偏二氟乙烯）＝81∶1∶1制作电极.按比例取Nb2O5晶体材料、聚偏二氟乙烯（PVDF）和碳黑（Carbon Black），将混合物均匀分散在甲基吡咯烷酮（NMP）中，超声并磁力搅拌使混合的浆状物保持均匀稳定.再将浆状物均匀涂抹在用镍片制成的衬底上形成电极，随后将电极在100℃烘箱中保温8h.电化学性能充放电测试使用仪器LAND CT2000.在氩气条件下的手套箱中组装标准的2032 型纽扣电池.锂箔片既作为对电极又作为参比电极使用.将1 mol／L 六氟磷酸锂（LiPF6）溶于碳酸乙烯酯／二甲基碳酸酯（ED／DMC）（V（ED）∶V（DMC）＝1∶1）中，制成锂电池电解液.随后，在不同的电流密度下进行充放电测试电池.2 结果与讨论2.1 材料的晶体结构与形貌不同的合成与处理条件对Nb2O5晶体结构有较大的影响［5］.本实验分别考察了在相同温度（900℃）下经氮气、氢气退火样品的晶体结构，如图1所示.通过XRD 图发现，两种样品的谱峰上并未出现明显的杂峰，这表明，在处理过程中，没有分相现象发生.如图1（a）所示，氮气退火的Nb2O5样品具有单斜晶形，与JCPDS卡片单斜晶形Nb2O5完全吻合.而经氢气退火的样品却具有完全不同的晶形，如图1（b）所示，属于正交晶系的Nb2O5，产物呈深蓝色.可以推测，在高温氢气还原过程中，出现了部分还原现象，Nb2O5晶体产生了悬键.据文献报道，部分还原的铌原子可显著提高Nb2O5的导电性.因此，经氢气退火的Nb2O5样品应具有良好的电化学性能.SEM 图像清晰地显示了Nb2O5晶体的形貌特征.如图2所示，通过酚醛树脂模板的辅助合成，氧气条件下预处理除去多余的碳，留下的Nb2O5晶体大小、结构统一，尺寸分布在几百纳米至几个微米之间.而经过进一步的高温处理，晶体进一步生长融合，孔洞逐渐消失，形成了团聚状态，如图3所示.图1 样品PA－Nb2O5－N2与PA－Nb2O5－H2的XRD图Fig.1 XRD pattern of samples PA－Nb2O5－N2and PA－Nb2O5－H2图2 预处理后Nb2O5晶体的低倍率和高倍率SEM 图Fig.2 Low－magnification and high－magnification SEM images of as－synthesized Nb2O5图3 氢气退火处理后Nb2O5晶体的低倍率和高倍率SEM 图Fig.3 Low－magnification and high－magnification SEM images of H2－treated Nb2O5 2.2 材料的电化学表征本实验对高温条件下经氮气与氢气退火后的两个样品进行了电化学性能测试，比较了电极在100圈恒电流充放电过程的循环性能，如图4 所示.选择电流密度为50mA／g，经过氢气处理后的Nb2O5晶体材料的电容量值得到了显著提高，在第一圈时放电容量达到了240 mA·h／g，而氮气处理后的Nb2O5晶体的首圈放电容量仅约为165 mA·h／g，与文献［7］报道相符.实验表明，经过氢气处理后的Nb2O5晶体材料的充放电性能得到了很大提高，氢气对Nb2O5晶体部分的高温退火还原增强了其自身的导电性能.本实验发现，两个样品100圈充放电循环中均出现了电容量缓慢衰减现象.一般来说，纳米或微米级结构的材料由于比表面积的增加，使得电极与电解液的接触界面显著增加，大量形成的固体电解质中间相（SEI）层不仅不断消耗电解液，而且逐步降低材料的电容量值，造成电容量衰减［9－11］.图4 样品PA－Nb2O5－N2与PA－Nb2O5－H2的循环性能比较Fig.4 Cycling performance comparison of samples PA－Nb2O5－N2and PA－Nb2O5－H2为了进一步考察氢气高温退火处理后Nb2O5晶体的导电性能，本实验又对PA－Nb2O5－H2样品做了倍率性能测试，见图5.通过不同的电流密度，40、100和200 mA／g测试，Nb2O5材料具有的电容量分别为160、120和80mA·h／g，电容量值始终保持稳定.可以推测，经退火处理后Nb2O5晶体的导电性能得到提高，同时也对提高电极的锂离子扩散速度起着重要的作用.图5 样品PA－Nb2O5－H2的倍率性能Fig.5 Rate capability of PA－Nb2O5－H23 结语通过实验可以发现，在不同气氛下经过高温处理的样品所表现出的电化学性能完全不同.经氮气高温处理后的样品，其电化学性能仍然较差；而经过氢气处理后的样品，电化学性能则大大提高.这说明，经过氢气高温处理后的样品的导电性能增加.这是由于经高温还原后，Nb2O5晶体出现了部分悬键，更有利于电子之间的传递，故在锂离子电池中的应用提高了电极的性能指标，这也为今后的锂离子电池研究提供了一条新思路.参考文献：［1］Conway

由于库仑力、分子间力、原子间力的作用，使固液界面 出现稳定的、符号相反的双层电荷，称为界面双层。 双电层电容器使用的电极材料多为多孔碳材料， 有活性炭（活性炭粉末、活性炭纤维）、碳气凝胶、 碳纳米管。双电层电容器的容量大小与电极材料的孔 隙率有关。通常，孔隙率越高，电极材料的比表面积 越大，双电层电容也越大。但不是孔隙率越高，电容 器的容量越大。 保持电极材料孔径大小在 2～50 nm 之 间提高孔隙率才能提高材料的有效比表面积，从而提 高双电层电容。

Horticulture,Henan Agricultural University,Zhengzhou 450002,China)Abstract :Supercapacitors have attracted much attention because of their high power density,fast charging /discharging speed,and long cycle life.However,the low energy density restricted their wide application.Developing novel and efficient electrode materials is imperative to improve the electrochemical performance of supercapacitors.Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)have attracted extensive attention in the field of energy conversion and storage,owing to their large specific surface area,controllable pore size,rich active sites and easy synthesis.Nevertheless,due to the inferior structural stability and low conductivity of MOFs,the electrochemical performance of supercapacitors with MOFs electrode materials is unsatisfactory.MOFs derivatives,prepared from the MOFs precursor,possess excellent structural stability and conductivity,thus prominently improve the electrochemical performance of supercapacitors.This work mainly focuses on the MOFs-derived electrode materials for supercapacitors,including MOFs-derived carbides,oxides,hydroxides,phosphides and sulfides.The synthesis strategies of electrode materials for supercapacitors are discussed,providing guidance for the research of nano-MOFs-derived materials for supercapacitors.Key words :supercapacitor;electrode

超级电容器实验室测试工艺
超级电容器实验室测试工艺工作电极的制作（合肥工业大学李学良老师)电化学超级电容器(Electrochemical Supercapacitors，缩写为ES），也叫电化学电容器（Electrochemical Capacitors），或简称为超级电容器（Supercapacitors or Ultracapacitors），是上世纪60、70年代率先在美国出现，并于80年代随着电动车行业的发展而迅速发展起来的一类新兴的储能器件［1］。
超级电容器的能量密度是传统电容器的几百倍，功率密度高出电池两个数量级，很好地弥补了电池功率低、大电流充放电性能差和传统电容器能量密度小的缺点.此外,超级电容器具有温度适应范围宽、循环寿命长（大于100000次）、充放电速度快(几毫秒）、循环效率高（大于99 %）、无污染等优良特性，因此，超级电容器有望成为本世纪新型的绿色能源[2]。

电催化剂英语Electrochemical Catalysts: Revolutionizing Energy Conversion and StorageElectrochemical catalysts have emerged as a critical component in the global pursuit of sustainable energy solutions. These remarkable materials have the ability to accelerate chemical reactions, enabling more efficient and cost-effective energy conversion and storage technologies. From fuel cells to metal-air batteries, electrochemical catalysts have the potential to transform the way we harness and utilize energy, paving the way for a cleaner and more sustainable future.At the heart of electrochemical catalysis lies the intricate interplay between the catalyst's structure, composition, and the electrochemical reactions it facilitates. Catalysts can be designed to target specific reactions, optimizing their performance and selectivity. This tailored approach allows for the development of highly efficient systems that can overcome the limitations of traditional energy technologies.One of the primary applications of electrochemical catalysts is in fuelcells. Fuel cells are electrochemical devices that convert the chemical energy of fuels, such as hydrogen or methanol, directly into electrical energy. The efficiency of fuel cells is largely dependent on the performance of the catalysts used in the electrochemical reactions. Platinum-based catalysts have been widely used in fuel cell technology, but their high cost and limited availability have driven the search for alternative, more cost-effective catalysts.Researchers have explored a wide range of non-precious metal catalysts, such as transition metal oxides, nitrides, and sulfides, as well as carbon-based materials, to address the cost and scarcity issues associated with platinum. These alternative catalysts have shown promising performance, often matching or even exceeding the activity and durability of their platinum-based counterparts. The development of these cost-effective and earth-abundant catalysts has the potential to significantly improve the commercialization and widespread adoption of fuel cell technology.Another crucial application of electrochemical catalysts is in metal-air batteries, which have gained attention due to their high energy density and potential for low-cost energy storage. In these batteries, the electrochemical reactions at the air cathode are catalyzed by specific materials, enabling efficient oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution. The performance of these catalysts directly impacts the battery's energy efficiency, cycle life, and overall viability as anenergy storage solution.Researchers have explored a variety of catalyst materials for metal-air batteries, including transition metal oxides, perovskites, and carbon-based materials. These catalysts have shown improved activity, stability, and selectivity, addressing the challenges associated with traditional metal-air battery technologies. The development of advanced electrochemical catalysts has the potential to unlock the full potential of metal-air batteries, making them a more attractive option for large-scale energy storage applications.Beyond fuel cells and metal-air batteries, electrochemical catalysts play a crucial role in other energy conversion and storage technologies, such as water electrolysis and metal-ion batteries. In water electrolysis, catalysts are used to facilitate the splitting of water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen, enabling the production of clean hydrogen fuel. Similarly, in metal-ion batteries, electrochemical catalysts can enhance the efficiency of the redox reactions, leading to improved energy density and cycle life.The versatility of electrochemical catalysts extends beyond energy applications. These materials also find use in environmental remediation, such as the electrochemical treatment of wastewater and the removal of pollutants. Catalysts can be designed to selectively target and degrade various contaminants, making themvaluable tools in the quest for sustainable and eco-friendly solutions.The development of advanced electrochemical catalysts is an ongoing and dynamic field of research, with scientists and engineers continuously exploring new materials, structures, and synthesis methods to enhance their performance and cost-effectiveness. Computational modeling and machine learning techniques have played a crucial role in accelerating the discovery and optimization of novel catalyst materials, enabling rapid progress in this field.As the global demand for clean and efficient energy solutions continues to grow, the importance of electrochemical catalysts cannot be overstated. These remarkable materials hold the key to unlocking the full potential of energy conversion and storage technologies, paving the way for a more sustainable and environmentally-conscious future. Through continued research and innovation, electrochemical catalysts will undoubtedly play a pivotal role in shaping the energy landscape of tomorrow.。

Unlike batteries, electrochemical capacitors (ECs)can operate at high charge and discharge rates over an almost unlimited number of cycles and enable energy recovery in heavier-duty systems.Like all capacitors, ECs (also called super-capacitors or ultracapacitors because of their extraordinarily high capacitance density)physically store charge. Conventional electro-static and electrolytic capacitors store charge on low-surface-area plates, but ECs store charge in an electric double layer set up by ions at the interface between a high-surface-area carbon electrode and a liquid electrolyte (1,2). ECs first appeared on the market in 1978 as farad-sized devices to provide com-puter memory backup power.A simple EC can be constructed by insert-ing two conducting rods in a beaker of salt water. During charging, charge separation occurs at each liquid-solid interface and potential builds up between the rods.Solvated ions in the electrolyte are rapidly attracted to the solid surface by an equal butopposite charge in the solid.These two parallel regions of charge are the source of the term “double layer.” This process in effect creates two capacitors, connected inseries by the electrolyte, thatstay charged after the circuit is opened. Because the sur-face area of activated carbon electrode mat-erial can be thousands of square meters per gram, a 5000-farad EC(a million times the capacitance offered by typical electrostatic orelectrolytic capacitors)can be small enoughto be handheld.This very high ca-pacitance comes at a cost: T he operating volt-age of an EC cannotexceed the potential at which the electrolyte undergoes chemical re-actions (typically 1 to 3 V per cell). For high-voltage applications, ECcells, like batteries, can be series-connected.One of the mostimportant advantages of batteries over ECs is that for a given volume, they can store 3 to 30times more charge. However, ECs can deliver hundreds to many thousands of times the power of a similar-sized battery. In addition,the highly reversible electrostatic charge stor-age in ECs does not produce the changes in volume that usually accompany the redox reactions of the active masses in batteries.Such volume changes are the main cause ofElectrochemical Capacitors for Energy ManagementJohn R.

Rapid storage and efficient delivery of electri-cal energy in heavy-duty applications are being enabled by electrochemical capacitors.the limited cycle life of batteries (generally several hundred to a few thousand cycles), compared to demonstrated full charge-dis-charge cycles for ECs into the many millions. The major differences between rechargeable (secondary) batteries and ECs, and their important fundamental properties, are com-pared in the table.An important related class of energy stor-age devices are pseudocapacitors, which undergo electron transfer reactions but behave like capacitors. These materials store energy through highly reversible surface redox (faradic) reactions in addition to the electric double-layer storage. Materials that exhibit such pseudocapacitive storage (1) range from conducting polymers to a variety of transitionmetal oxides (3–5). The RuO2 pseudocapaci-tor has the highest specific capacitance (~1000 F/g) in this class, but is prohibitive inprice (a vehicle-sized EC of RuO2would costmore than $1 million). Efforts to develop more practical pseudocapacitive materials are now quite active.The second generation of ECs used sym-metric designs and organic electrolytes—typically an ammonium salt dissolved in an organic solvent such as propylene carbon-ate—which increased the rated cell voltage from under 1 V to ~2.5 V per cell. The most recent EC designs, which date from Russian patents in the mid-1990s, are asymmetric. One electrode is identical to those used in symmetric ECs, whereas the other is battery-like (relying on electron charge transfer reac-tions) but has much greater capacity and higher operating voltage. Asymmetric cap-acitors with specific energies of >10 watts-hour/kg are commercially available (6) and are well suited for transportation (traction) applications. Charging times for such sys-tems are ~10 min.Several asymmetric EC designs under development (7–9) use a lithium-ion intercala-tion electrode with an activated carbon elec-trode in an organic electrolyte (7) or an acti-vated carbon electrode with a lead dioxide bat-tery-like electrode and sulfuric acid as the elec-trolyte, with the potential of specific energies in excess of 20 watts-hour/kg at very low cost (8). Each of these designs can provide high cycle life relative to that of a battery because of the electrode capacity asymmetry. Capacity asymmetry reduces the depth of discharge of the battery-like electrode, thereby increasing its cycle life and power performance.Symmetric ECs with specific energies of ~5 watts-hour/kg and response times of 1 s are widely available and can be used to store and release regenerative braking energy effi-ciently in vehicles and industrial equipment.They can also be used for load leveling—delivering power above the average value pro-vided by a distributed generator (such as a fuelcell) and storing excess energy when powerlevels are below average.Although lithium-ion batteries have ad-vanced greatly in recent years, they stillrequire 3 to 5 min for charging, versus ~1 sfor an EC. Thus, battery systems generallymust be grossly oversized in such applica-tions to improve their efficiency and tolengthen their cycle life. Also, ECs are gener-ally much safer than batteries during high-rate charge and discharge.Finally, ECs are being used across a vastswath of commercial and industrial equipment.One example is a seaport rubber-tired gantrycrane (see the figure) that has a capacitor systemto store energy during load lowering. The use ofECs has reduced its energy usage by 40%.References and Notes1. B. E.

锌离子混合超级电容器的研究和应用
摘要构建和制造高功率和高能量密度、长寿命、绿色无污染的新型电化学能源系统对现代社会的发展具有重要意义。
传统的储能设备主要包括电池和超级电容器，但是它们各自的缺陷限制了其进一步发展，例如电池的功率密度低和循环稳定性差，超级电容器的能量密度低。
超级电容器-电池型混合超级电容器（SBHSC）是一种典型的由高倍率电容型电极和大容量电池型电极构成的储能器件，由于兼具电池和超级电容器的优点而受到广泛关注。
水系锌离子混合超级电容器（ZHSC）作为其中的一种，以其高性能、低成本、安全环保等优点成为目前研究的热点之一。
ZHSC的发展不仅取决于合适的电极材料，还取决于优越的储能系统结构。
因此，需要对这两方面进行更深入的研究，以进一步提高ZHSC的性能，满足人们在储能领域的需求。
本文两个工作的具体内容如下：（1）这个工作以三维多孔还原氧化石墨烯（rRO）气凝胶为骨架，制备了MXene-还原氧化石墨烯（MXene-rRO）气凝胶。
具有独特多孔骨架结构的MXene-rRO气凝胶不仅在很大程度上阻止了MXene纳米片的堆积，而且赋予了该气凝胶高亲水性和良好的导电性。
首次采用多孔三维MXene-rRO气凝胶正极、锌箔负极和2摩尔ZnSO4电解质制备了MXene-rRO//ZnSO4//Zn ZHSC。
结果表明，MXene-rRO2//ZnSO4//Zn ZHSC具有优异的电化学性能，最大比电容为129 F g-1(0.4 A g-1)，能量密度为35 Wh kg-1（280 W kg-1）。
更重要的是，在电流密度为5 A g-1时，经过75000次充放电循环后，电容保持率仍高于初始电容的95%。
这为利用其它三维多孔的正极材料开发高性能的ZHSC提供了新的思路。
（2）这个工作与前面的工作相比，对ZHSC的器件结构进行了创新。
以二维层状的二硫化钛插层/脱层电池型电极代替传统的锌箔电极作为负极，与活性炭电容型正极和2摩尔ZnSO4电解质组装到一起制备了TiS2//ZnSO4//AC ZHSC。

1.超级电容器器件超级电容器，又称电化学电容器，已经有五十多年的历史，被认为是除电池外的潜在储能系统之一。
与传统电容器相比，超级电容器可以存储更多的能量（单位质量或体积），因为电荷分离发生在构成电极和相邻电解质之间双电层中的很小的距离上；超级电容器可以在高比表面积电极材料中由大量孔隙所产生的高度扩展的电极表面积上存储更多的电荷。
能量储存机制本身非常迅速，因为它只涉及离子在电极表面的运动。
在重复充放电循环中，超级电容器具有很高的可逆性，循环寿命大都可超过50万次。
循环寿命长久和良好的稳定性使得超级电容器在电动汽车中诸如轻量级电子熔断器、计算器和数字卡尺的备用电源、浪涌发电量等应用中非常有用。
在这些应用中，超级电容器是电池的免维护替代品。
超级电容器器件的电容在很大程度上取决于电极材料的特性，特别是比表面积和孔径分布。
超级电容器的工作电压通常取决于电解质的稳定性。
含有溶解季铵盐的碳酸丙烯酯或乙腈等非水电解质混合物已被应用于许多商业超级电容器中。

Cs=∫I(V)dv/vΔVm式中：∫I(V)dv为CV曲线的积分面积，v为扫面速率，ΔV为电位窗口，m为电极活性物质的质量.图5a为4种不同形貌电极材料在1 A/g电流密度下的恒电流充放电曲线.可以看到在1 A/g的电流密度下镂空网状、花状、空心球状、块状二硫化钼的比电容分别为37、129、203、259 F/g，它们依次降低，这可能是由于不同的形貌造成比表面积不同而引起的.Cs=It/ΔVm式中：I 为负载电流，t为放电时间，ΔV为放电过程中的电势改变，m为电极活性物质的质量.电极材料的比电容计算根据式(2)可得.图5b是不同形貌电极材料在电流密度分别为1、2、4、5、10 A/g下根据公式(2)算得的比电容.可以看到镂空网状、花状、空心球状、块状二硫化钼的比电容依次降低，比电容最大镂空网状二硫化钼在1、2、4、5、10 A/g时对应的比电容分别为259、200、153、144、99 F/g.比电容随着电流密度的增加而降低，这是由于在高的电流密度时，充放电只能够在部分电极表面进行，来不及充分充放电导致活性物质利用率降低引起比电容的下降.1) 采用水热法低成本合成了不同形貌的二硫化钼，分别研究了其电化学电容性能的变化规律及各自的差异，镂空网状二硫化钼因为其独特的纳米结构增加了活性物质与电解液的接触面积，减少了电子和质子在充放电过程中的扩散时间，提高了活性物质利用率从而提高了二硫化钼的比电容，使其在1、2、4、5、10 A/g时对应的比电容分别达到259、200、153、144、99 F/g.2) 镂空网状、花状、空心球状、块状二硫化钼的比电容依次降低，这可能是由于不同的形貌造成比表面积不同而引起的，在1 A/g的电流密度下对应的比电容分别为259、203、129、71 F/g.【相关文献】[1] ZHANG Y,LI J,KANG F,et al.Fabrication and electrochemical characterization of two-dimensional ordered nanoporous manganese oxide for supercapacitor applications[J].International Journal of Hydrogen Energy,2012,37(1):860-866.[2] ZHAO T,JIANG H,JAN M.Surfactant-assisted electrochemical deposition of α-cobalt hydroxide for supercapacitors [J].Journal of Power Sources,2011,196(2):860-864.[3] WINTER M,BRODD R J.What are batteries,fuel cells,and supercapacitors[J].Cheminform,2004,35(50):4245-4269.[4] KOTZ R,CARLEN M.Principles and applications of electrochemical capacitors[J].Electrochimica Acta,2000,45(15/16):2483-2498.[5] SUMBOJA A,FOO C Y,WANG X,et rge areal mass,flexible and free standing reduced graphene oxide/manganese dioxide paper for asymmetric supercapacitor device [J].Advanced Materials,2013,25(20):2809-2815.[6] ZHANG G,LOU X W.General solution growth of mesoporous NiCo2O4 nanosheets on various conductive substrates as high-performance electrodes for supercapacitors [J].Advanced Materials,2013,25(7):976-979.[7] 冉奋,赵磊,张宣宣,等.纳米棒状锰氧化物的制备及其电化学电容性能 [J].兰州理工大学学报2013,39(4):23-27.[8] YANG J,DUAN X,QIN Q,et al.Solvothermal synthesis of hierarchical flower-like β-NiS with excellent electrochemical performance for supercapacitors [J].J MaterChem,2013,1(16):7880-7884.[9] 郭铁明,王力群,李小成,等.三维石墨烯/泡沫镍基底上制备Ni掺杂Co(OH)2复合材料及其超电容性能 [J].兰州理工大学学报,2015,41(2):12-16.[10] HUANG K J,WANG L,LIU Y J,et yered MoS2 -graphene composites for supercapacitor applications with enhanced capacitive performance [J].International Journal of Hydrogen Energy,2013,38(32):14027-14034.[11] MA G,PENG H,MU J,et al.In situ intercalative polymerization of pyrrole in graphene analogue of MoS2 as advanced electrode material in supercapacitor [J].Journal of Power Sources,2013,229(1):72-78.[12] HUANG K J,LAN W,LIU Y J,et al.Synthesis of polyaniline/2-dimensional graphene analog MoS2 composites for high-performance supercapacitor [J].Electrochimica Acta,2013,109(11):587-594.[13] ZHOU W,YIN Z,DU Y,et al.Synthesis of few-layer MoS2 nanosheet-coated TiO2 nanobelt heterostructures for enhanced photocatalytic activities [J].Small,2013,9(1):140-147.[14] YIN Z Y,CHEN B,BOSMAN M,et al.Au nanoparticle-modified MoS2 nanosheet-based photoelectrochemical cells for water splitting [J].Small,2014,10(17):3537-3543.[15] SU D,DOU S,WANG G.WS2@graphene nanocomposites as anode materials for Na-ion batteries with enhanced electrochemical performances [J].Chemical Communications,2014,50(32):4192-4195.[16] HENG N F,BU X H,FENG PY.Synthetic design of crystalline inorganic chalcogenides exhibiting fast-ion conductivity [J].Nature,2003,426(6965):428-432.[17] XIAO J,CHOI D,COSIMBESCU L,et al.Exfoliated MoS2 nanocomposite as an anode material forlithium ion batteries [J].Chem Mater,2010,22(8):4522-4524.[18] JIA M S,LOH K P.Electrochemical double-layer capacitance of MoS2 nanowall films [J].Electrochemical and Solid-State Letters,2007,10(11):250-254.[19] HU B,QIN X,ASIRI A M,et al.Synthesis of porous tubular C/MoS2 nanocomposites and their application as a novel electrode material for supercapacitors with excellent cycling stability [J].Electrochimica Acta,2013,100(7):24-28.[20] ZHOU X,XU B,LIN Z,et al.Hydrothermal synthesis of flower-like MoS2 nanospheres for electrochemical supercapacitors[J].Journal of Nanoscience &Nanotechnology,2014,14(9):7250-7254.[21] 杨依萍,李卓民,杨玉超,等.二硫化钼中空微球的制备、表征以及光催化性能 [J].无机化学学报,2012,28(7):1513-1519.[22] WANG X,DING J,YAO S,et al.High supercapacitor and adsorption behaviors of flower-like MoS2 nanostructures [J].J Mater Chem A,2014,2(38):15958-15963.[23] 王兰.层状二硫化钼纳米复合材料在超级电容器中的应用 [D].信阳:信阳师范学院,2014.。

电极溶液界面双电层电容 英文
电极溶液界面双电层电容英文Introduction: The double layer capacitance of the electrode-solution interface is an important concept in electrochemistry. The interaction between the charged electrode and the ions in the solution creates a region of charge separation, known as the electric double layer. This region acts as a capacitor, with the electrode serving as one plate and the solution serving as the other. The double layer capacitance plays a key role in many electrochemical phenomena, including capacitive charging and discharging, adsorption, and charge transfer reactions.Electrical Double Layer: The electrical double layer is the region of charge separation that forms at the interface between a solid electrode and an electrolyte solution. The double layer is formed due to the attraction between the negatively charged electrode and the positively charged ionsin the solution, and the repulsion between the electrode and the negatively charged ions. Thisresults in a layer of cations near the electrode surface, followed by a layer of anions further away, with a diffuse region of ions extending further into the solution.The double layer is divided into two regions: the Helmholtz layer and the diffuse layer. The Helmholtz layer is the tightly bound layer of ions immediately adjacent to the electrode surface, while the diffuse layer is the region of ions further away, which are more loosely bound and more mobile. The distance between the two layers is known as the Stern layer, which is typically only a few nanometers thick.Double Layer Capacitance: The interaction between the charged electrode and the ions in the solution creates a potential difference across the electrical double layer, which acts as a capacitor. The two plates of the capacitor are the electrode and the solution, and the charge separation between them gives rise to a capacitance known as the double layer capacitance. The double layercapacitance can be calculated using the following equation:Cdl = εrε0A/dWhere Cdl is the double layer capacitance, εr is the relative permittivity of the electrolyte solution, ε0 is the permittivity of free space, A is the surface area of the electrode, and d is the thickness of the double layer (i.e. the distance between the Helmholtz and diffuse layers).The capacitance of the double layer can be influenced by a number of factors, including the size and charge of the ions in solution, the surface area and roughness of the electrode, and the nature of the electrolyte solution. For example, increasing the electrolyte concentration can decrease the thickness of the double layer and increase the capacitance, while changing the pH of the solution can alter the charge distribution of the ions and affect the capacitance.Applications: The double layer capacitance has a number of important applications in electrochemistry. One common application is in themeasurement of surface area and surface charge, using techniques such as cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. These techniques rely on the capacitance of the double layer to measure changes in the electrical properties of the interface.The double layer capacitance also plays an important role in capacitive energy storage devices, such as supercapacitors. Supercapacitors store charge by adsorbing ions onto the surface of an electrode, which increases the double layer capacitance and allows for rapid charging and discharging. The high capacitance and lowresistance of supercapacitors make them ideal for applications such as regenerative braking in hybrid vehicles and high-power energy storage for renewable sources.Conclusion: The double layer capacitance of the electrode-solution interface is a fundamental concept in electrochemistry, with important applications in surface characterization, energy storage, and electrochemical reactions. Thecapacitance of the double layer is influenced by a number of factors, including the size and charge of the ions in solution, the surface area and roughness of the electrode, and the nature of the electrolyte solution. Understanding the behavior of the double layer is key to understanding many electrochemical phenomena, and will continue to be important in the development of new technologiesfor energy storage and conversion.。

EditorialElectrochemical supercapacitors for energy storage and delivery:Advanced materials,technologies and applicationsq1.IntroductionIn the effort to achieve a clean and sustainable world,energy storage and delivery have become one of today’s most important topics in globe research and development.In this regard,electro-chemical energy technologies such as batteries,fuel cells,and elec-trochemical supercapacitors have been recognized as the most important portion of the various energy storage and delivery tech-nologies.Among these technologies,supercapacitors,emerging as one of the most important energy storage and delivery devices for the 21st century,are particularly the most reliable and safe devices with extremely high power density and cycling stability in many applications including portable electronics,automobile vehicles,stationary power stations and energy storage devices,backup power supplies,etc.However,its challenges of low energy density as well as this low energy density induced high cost are the major drawbacks.To overcome these challenges,in recent years,there are tremendous efforts focusing on the development of new and cost-effective electrodes and electrolyte materials as well as electrode configuration to improve the capacitance,the energy density of the next generation of supercapacitors.In order to benchmark the state of research in this area at this time,Applied Energy organized a special issue dedicated to recent research development in Supercapacitors.The articles in this spe-cial issue cover the most recent progress of supercapacitor research and development in terms of both fundamentals and applications with focuses on cutting edge research on new materi-als for system designs and practical deployment investigations.2.Background of supercapacitorsNormally,the energy storage mechanism of supercapacitors is electrochemical in nature,but differs from that of batteries or fuel cells that rely on the coupling of Faradaic redox reactions.Instead,supercapacitors store and discharge energy dominantly through what is called electric double layer capacitance (EDLC).This occurs by employing two high surface area electrodes,that when charged,form a Helmholtz double layer at the interface between the con-ductive electrode materials and the electrolyte,as illustrated inFig.1.The electrodes have opposing charges,and in this fashion energy is stored by the electrostatic charge separation.As a result of this energy storage mechanism,supercapacitors can charge and discharge in a matter of seconds while delivering immense power densities (typically in the 10–1000KW/kg).Their operational life-times are also an attractive feature,boasting in excess of 100,000charge and discharge cycles before needing replacement (ref).Owing to these advanced properties,supercapacitors have gained commercial success in certain applications that include dynamic load levelling and uninterruptable power supplies.However,due to their low energy density,large untapped markets remain,including the use of supercapacitors in electric vehicles,large scale energy storage units (grid),and small scale portable electronics.For supercapacitors to effectively penetrate these markets,further technological advances,such as those reported in this special issue are required.At the current state of research,a large body of research has been focused on increasing the energy density of supercapacitors by developing novel high surface area carbon materials,such as graphene,with unprecedented electric double layer capacitance.It is expected that the viability of supercapacitors could also be extended towards a wide range of applications if energy densities can be improved to more closely resemble those of batteries.To accomplish this,psuedocapacitors (or hybrid supercapacitors)are an emerging trend of research that includes compositing conven-tional EDLC electrodes with materials that contribute redox beha-viour during charge and discharge.These materials,with a high capacity to store energy must also be integrated into operational supercapacitor cell designs.These systems may then have their performance investigated and validated towards new,promising applications.3.Research covered in this special issueIn this special issue,13papers have been included covering the areas of electric double layer capacitance materials,psuedocapac-itor material,system design and application deployment.3.1.New high surface area EDLC materialsDeveloping novel nano-structured electrode materials are one of the most active approaches in supercapacitors.For example,Article [1]reports the use of rice husks,a renewable resource,to prepare high surface area porous carbons that were used

Conversion,Advanced Materials,Technologies and Applications edited by Dr.Jiujun Zhang,Dr.Lei Zhang,Dr.Radenka Maric,Dr.Zhongwei Chen,Dr.Aiping Yu and Prof.Yan.materials for supercapacitor applications.Among different nano-materials,graphene,known for its high surface areas and charge mobility,are the most advanced ones being explored for superca-pacitor applications,such as in Article [2],with the impact of reducing agent used during graphene synthesis systematically investigated.In Article [3],carbon xerogels as EDLC materials are investigated,with the importance of tailoring their porous struc-tures clearly highlighted.3.2.Psuedocapacitor material developmentArticle [4]discusses the development of alpha-phase MnO 2nanowire based psuedocapacitative electrodes for supercapacitor devices.Paper [5]reports the synthesis and application of new supercapacitor electrodes composed of nickel-manganese oxide deposited on a MWCNT/CFP composite substrate.Article [6]uses polypyrrole,a psuedocapacitative conductive polymer,doped with fluorescent brightener CBS-X in what is deemed a smart electrode materials.Cobalt nicket silicate hollow spheres were prepared in Article [7]and were found to demonstrate very good stability for supercapacitor applications.New,three-component materials are developed and investigated in Article [8].This consisted of psuedo-capacitative RuO 2composited with carbon nanotubes and CMK-3,an ordered mesoporous carbon structure.3.3.Supercapacitor system designsAn all solid-state supercapacitor design is developed in Article [9],incorporating electrodes that are free-standing films of the aforementioned polyaniline and high surface area carbon particles.A new asymmetric design,which refers to supercapacitors employ-ing two different electrodes is reported in Article [10].The elec-trodes used are consisted of polypyrrole coated carbon nanotubes.3.4.Practical deploymentThe feasibility from a techno-economic standpoint,along with the optimization of the energy storage unit chain is investigated in Article [11]towards the first ever,quick charging plug-in ferry.Article [12]deals with the design and implementation of bi-direc-tional energy conversion systems on a DC motor drive.The integra-tion of supercapacitors to facilitate this is well characterized and reported.Article [13]hybridizes supercapacitors with batteries to prepare energy storage devices for remote area energy storage.This approach can be used to address the intermittency issues associated with renewable energy systems,such as wind and solar.References[1]Gao Y,Li L,Jin Y,Wang Y,Yuan C,Wei Y,et al.Porous carbon made from ricehusk as electrode material for electrochemical double layer capacitor.Appl Energy
