In this dissertation, the simple and fast electrochemical deposition method has been implied to directly deposit transition metal oxide and selenide on suitable substrates to form thin films, which effectively avoids the use of polymer binders and conductive additives, thereby reducing the loss of electrode capacity. Moreover, the morphology, structure and composition of thin films can be controlled for better performance by simply adjusting the electrodeposition parameters, such as temperature, current, potential, and the composition of electrolyte. The main aspects of this research are as follows: (i) A temperature-controlled electrodeposition method was designed and utilized to Mn3O4 and Mn3O4/MnOOH nanocomposite thin films on FTO substrates. The performance of Mn3O4 based electrode was improved due to the optimized morphology and the synergistic effect between Mn3O4 and MnOOH. (ii) Mn3O4/MnOOH thin film with nanorods morphology was obtained by introducing Pt atoms during the electrodeposition and exhibited a superior electrochemical behaviour. (iii) In potentiostatic method, the influence of HCl content in electrolyte and temperature on the morphology and structure of cobalt selenide thin films was systematically analysed. The CoSe film with 3D porous network structure prepared with the addition of 20 μl HCl at 5 °C showed an excellent capacitive storage capacity. (iv) Various nickel selenides, including Ni3Se4, Ni3Se2, and NiSe, were synthesized on FTO substrates by potentiostatic deposition with different potentials. The performance of nickel selenide was further optimized by using carbon foam, nickel foam and copper foam as substrates. (v) Cobalt nickel bimetallic selenide (CoxNi1-xSe) thin films were synthesised on nickel foams in electrolytes with various ratios of Co2+/Ni2+. When the ratio was 7:3, the prepared electrode showed the best electrochemical performance. This work provides a novel temperature-controlled electrodeposition method for improving the performance of Mn3O4 based electrodes and demonstrated the great potential of electrodeposited transition metal selenide thin films for supercapacitor applications.

    T 4 SEDERHOLMITE, WILKMANITE, KULLERUDITE, M..AKINENITE and TRUSTEDTITE, FIVE NEW NICKEL SELENIDE MINERALS 1) BY Y. VUORELAINEN, A. HUHMA AND A. H.A.KLI Outokumpu Co., Finland ABSTRACT Five new nickel selenide minerals from Kuusamo, NE-Finland are described. The minerals occur in veinlets in albitites associated with uranium mineralisation. Sederholmite, which is identical with the synthetic hexagonal fJ-NiSe phase, has a o = 3.62 - 3.65 A and eo = 5.29 - 5.34 A depending upon composition. Wilkmanite corresponds to the artificial monoclinic Ni3Se4 phase. Its a o = 6.22 A, b o = 3.63 A, CO = 10.52 A and fJ = 90.55°. Kullerudite NiSe 2 is an ortho-rhombic nickelian analogue of ferroselite with a o = 4.89 A, b o = 5.96 A and Co = 3.76 A. M:ikinenite, which is the same as the artificial y-NiSe phase, has a trigonal symmetry with a o = 10.01 A and Co = 3.28 A. Triistedtite is a cubic spinel type Ni3Se4 having a o = 9.94 A. It forms a solid solution series with polydymite. Members of this series with 40-70 mole per cent polydymite component have also been found.

Burrow, and C. Buddie Mullins* Cite This: ACS Appl. Mater. Interfaces 2020, 12, 20366−20375 Read Online ACCESS Metrics & More Article Recommendations *sı Supporting Information ABSTRACT: An efficient and inexpensive electrocatalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) must be found in order to improve the viability of hydrogen fuel production via water electrolysis. Recent work has indicated that nickel chalcogenide materials show promise as electrocatalysts for this reaction and that their performance can be further enhanced with the generation of ternary, bimetallic chalcogenides (i.e., Ni1−aMaX2); however, relatively few studies have investigated ternary chalcogenides created through the addition of a second chalcogen (i.e., NiX2−aYa). To address this, we fi studied a series of Se-modi ed Ni3S2 composites for use as OER electrocatalysts in alkaline solution. We found that the addition of Se results in the creation of Ni3S2/NiSe composites composed of cross-doped metal chalcogenides and show that the addition of 10% Se reduces the overpotential required to reach a current density of 10 mA/cm2 by 40 mV versus a pure nickel sulfide material. Chemical analysis of the composites’ surfaces shows a reduction in the amount of nickel oxide species with Se incorporation, which is supported by transmission electron microscopy; this reduction is correlated with a decrease in the OER overpotentials measured for these samples. Together, our results suggest that the incorporation of Se into Ni3S2 creates a more conductive material with a less-oxidized surface that is more electrocatalytically active and resistant to further oxidation.

However, only over the last ten years has major interest been manifested in commercial development of this possibility in so-called 'supercapacitors' or 'ultracapacitors' based on the large double-layer capacitance achievable at high-area, carbon powder electrodes. In parallel with the utilization of double-layer capacitance is the possibility of use of the large pseudocapacitance that is associated with e.g. electrosorption of H or metal adatoms (underpotential deposition) and especially some redox processes. Such pseudocapacitance arises when,

    micromachines Review Recent Studies on Supercapacitors with Next-Generation Structures Juho Sung and Changhwan Shin * Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Sungkyunkwan University, Suwon 16419, Korea; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-31-290-7694 Received: 27 November 2020; Accepted: 16 December 2020; Published: 18 December 2020 Abstract: Supercapacitors have shown great potential as a possible solution to the increasing global demand for next-generation energy storage systems. Charge repositioning is based on physical or chemical mechanisms. There are three types of supercapacitors—the electrochemical double layer, the pseudocapacitor, and a hybrid of both. Each type is further subdivided according to the material used. Herein, a detailed overview of the working mechanism as well as a new method for capacitance enhancement are presented. Keywords: supercapacitor; electrical double layer capacitor; EDLC; negative capacitance; energy storage system; pseudocapacitor; micropores; nanopores; ultracapacitor; Helmholtz model 1. Introduction The Fourth Industrial Revolution, which facilitates the emergence of a hyper-connected society, is the basis for data processing between people and things as well as things and things. The essence anchored in a host of electronic devices highlights the energy consumption problem to address the ever-increasing energy demand. However, the challenge confronted (based on expenditure) is proving hard to overcome. Self-powered devices are mostly based on lithium-ion batteries, which were proposed three decades ago. They demonstrate superior properties as compared to energy storage systems (ESSs) based on other materials with the highest energy storage capacity; however, the world no longer refers to them as “perfect batteries”. Moreover, the progress of battery technology would be considered as a stumbling block to the development of electrically powered industry in some parts of the world.

  • JES2016-Transport Pseudocaps Galvanostatic.Pdf
    Journal of The Electrochemical Society, 163 (2) A229-A243 (2016) A229 Electrochemical Transport Phenomena in Hybrid Pseudocapacitors under Galvanostatic Cycling Anna L. d’Entremont, Henri-Louis Girard, Hainan Wang, and Laurent Pilon∗,z Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department, University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California 90095, USA This study aims to provide insights into the electrochemical transport and interfacial phenomena in hybrid pseudocapacitors under galvanostatic cycling. Pseudocapacitors are promising electrical energy storage devices for applications requiring large power density. They also involve complex, coupled, and multiscale physical phenomena that are difficult to probe experimentally. The present study performed detailed numerical simulations for a hybrid pseudocapacitor with planar electrodes and binary, asymmetric electrolyte under various cycling conditions, based on a first-principles continuum model accounting simultaneously for charge storage by electric double layer (EDL) formation and by faradaic reactions with intercalation. Two asymptotic regimes were identified corresponding to (i) dominant faradaic charge storage at low current and low frequency or (ii) dominant EDL charge storage at high current and high frequency. Analytical expressions for the intercalated ion concentration and surface overpotential were derived for both asymptotic regimes. Features of typical experimentally measured cell potential were physically interpreted. These insights could guide the optimization of hybrid pseudocapacitors. © The Author(s) 2015. Published by ECS.

There is a growing need, for current and near-future applications, where both high energy and high power densities are required in the same material. Pseudocapacitance, a faradaic process involving surface or near surface redox reactions, offers a means of achieving high energy density at high charge–discharge rates. Here, we focus on the pseudocapacitive properties of transition metal oxides. First, we introduce pseudocapacitance and describe its electrochemical features. Then, we review the most relevant pseudocapacitive materials in DOI: 10.1039/c3ee44164d aqueous and non-aqueous electrolytes. The major challenges for pseudocapacitive materials along with a future outlook are detailed at the end. Broader context The importance of electrical energy storage will continue to grow as markets for consumer electronics and electrication of transportation expand and energy storage systems for renewable energy sources begin to emerge.

The polyaniline is characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and optical absorption studies. The energy density of a pseudocapacitor is higher than that of double-layer supercapacitors due to Faradaic reactions. A high specific capacitance of 594.92 F/g is obtained at a scan rate of 5 mV/s with a scanning potential window of (−0.8 to 0.8 V).
