Soucek _______________________________ ___________________________ Committee Member Dean of the College Dr. Kevin A. Cavicchi Dr. Ali Dhinojwala _______________________________ ___________________________ Acting Dean, Graduate School Committee Member Dr. Marnie Saunders Dr. Weinan Xu ___________________________ Date ii ABSTRACT In this thesis, we study flexible supercapacitors. Recent progress in flexible supercapacitors is reviewed in chapter I. Ionic liquid gel electrolytes used for approaching high-energy density supercapacitors are investigated in chapter II. In chapter III, we study the double-network hydrogel with redox additives as the solid- state electrolytes for flexible supercapacitors In Chapter I, after a brief introduction to the current situation of flexible supercapacitors and the mechanisms of different supercapacitors, we summarize the recent progress in both electrode materials and electrolyte materials for flexible supercapacitors, which includes carbon materials, conducting polymers, transition metal oxides/chalcogenides/nitrides, MXenes, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and covalent-organic frameworks (COFs) for electrode materials and the polymer-based gel electrolytes with different supporting electrolytes. In the end, we give a brief discussion on current challenges and an outlook for the future directions. In Chapter II, a novel 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (BMIMBF4) : poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) : tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate (TBABF4) (BMIMBF4:PVA:TBABF4) is developed for enhancing the energy density of supercapacitors. It is found that the BMIMBF4:PVA:TBABF4 gel electrolytes exhibit an ionic conductivity of 21.7 mS/cm, which is much higher than that of BMIMBF4:PVA gel electrolyte. The quasi-solid-state asymmetric supercapacitors assembled by using the BMIMBF4:PVA:TBABF4 gel as electrolyte, and MnO2 coated carbon cloth as the positive electrode and reduced graphene oxide coated on carbon cloth as the negative electrode, respectively, exhibit a wide operational window of 3V, iii an energy density of 61.2 Wh/kg at the power density of 1049 W/kg, an operational temperature ranging from 20 oC to 90 oC, and more than 80% capacitance retention after 3000 charge/discharge cycles. In Chapter III, we developed pHEAA-gelatin-chitosan Na2MoO4 DN hydrogel electrolytes for approaching high energy density and flexibility of supercapacitors. The pHEAA-gelatin-chitosan Na2MoO4 DN hydrogel electrolytes exhibit superior mechanical strength, good flexibility, and fast self-recovery performances. The symmetric supercapacitors (SSCs) constructed by using pHEAA-gelatin-chitosan Na2MoO4 DN hydrogel as the quasi-solid-state electrolytes and carbon cloth as electrodes show an energy density of 0.07 mWh/cm3 (~34 Wh/kg) at the power density of 3.8 mW/cm3 (~1800 W/kg), and more than 95% capacitance retention after 3000 charge/discharge cycles. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENT First of all, I am grateful to my advisor Prof. Xiong Gong for his kindness and continuous support. His unselfish and wise suggestions teach me not only how to do research and study but also to be a good person. Then I would like to show my extreme gratitude to my beloved parents for their love, support, and enouncement all the time. Then I would like to give my appreciation to my group mates: Mr. Zhihao Ma, Mr. Luyao Zheng, Mr. Tao Zhu, Mr. Xiuyuan Zhang, Mr. Baosen Zhang, Mr. Suyuan Zhou Mr. Cheng Chi, and Mr. Sian Xiao, especially for Mr. Zhihao Ma, Mr. Luyao Zheng, and Mr. Tao Zhu for their selfless help and encouragement.

  • Transition Metal Solar Absorbers
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Emmeline Beth Altschul for the degree of Master of Science in Chemistry presented on July 2, 2012 Title: Transition Metal Solar Absorbers Abstract approved: Douglas A. Keszler A new approach to the discovery of high absorbing semiconductors for solar cells was taken by working under a set of design principles and taking a systemic methodology. Three transition metal chalcogenides at varying states of development were evaluated within this framework. Iron pyrite (FeS2) is well known to demonstrate excellent absorption, but the coexistence with metallic iron sulfides was found to disrupt its semiconducting properties. Manganese diselenide (MnSe2), a material heavily researched for its magnetic properties, is proposed as a high absorbing alternative to iron pyrite that lacks destructive impurity phases. For the first time, a MnSe2 thin film was synthesized and the optical properties were characterized. Finally, CuTaS3, a known but never characterized material, is also proposed as a high absorbing semiconductor based on the design principles and experimental results. © Copyright by Emmeline Beth Altschul July 2, 2012 All Rights Reserved Transition Metal Solar Absorbers by Emmeline Beth Altschul A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Presented July 2, 2012 Commencement June 2013 Masters of Science thesis of Emmeline Beth Altschul presented on July 2, 2012.
