(McMaster University, Canada) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Igor Zhitomirsky, Distinguished Engineering Professor, Ph.D., P.Eng. NUMBER OF PAGES: CCXVI, 216 II Ph.D. Thesis Ryan Yuk Yeung Poon McMaster University Materials Science and Engineering Lay Abstract In modern society, the demand for clean and renewable energy have grown drastically and there is a need in development of advanced energy storage devices. Currently, the most common energy storage devices are batteries or conventional capacitors. Batteries can store a large amount of energy, however they are limited by their low power performance. Capacitors can charge and discharge rapidly, but the amount of energy stored is relatively low. Other than batteries and capacitor, electrochemical supercapacitors are emerging energy storage devices that offer the advantages of high power and energy density, fast charge-discharge and long lifetime. The objective of this work was to develop advanced nanocomposite electrode materials for electrochemical supercapacitor applications. New colloidal processing strategies have been developed and advanced dispersants were employed for the fabrication of high performance nanocomposites for electrochemical supercapacitor applications. The results presented in this work showed exceptional performances compared to literature data and paved a new way for further developments. III Ph.D. Thesis Ryan Yuk Yeung Poon McMaster University Materials Science and Engineering Abstract Electrochemical supercapacitors (ESs) are currently under development for electronics and automotive applications due to their hybrid properties inherited from batteries and capacitors. ESs exhibit higher power densities than batteries and energy densities than capacitors, and offer long cyclic life and rapid charge-discharge suitable for many applications. A promising candidate of electrode materials is manganese dioxide (MnO2), which has the advantages of high theoretical capacitance, low cost and environmentally friendly. However, the low electronic and ionic conductivities of MnO2 have limited its performance for practical applications. It has been demonstrated in literature that composite materials, which consist of conductive additives such as multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and MnO2 can address this problem, however further investigations are required to produce ESs with superior performance for real-world applications. In this dissertation, novel colloidal fabrication techniques have been developed and advanced dispersants were employed to fabricate advanced nanocomposite electrodes. MnO2-MWCNTs composite electrode was fabricated with use of multifunctional dispersant. The multifunctional dispersant cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) showed good dispersion of MWCNTs and capability of forming complex with the precursor of MnO2, which improved the homogeneity of the composite and generated unique morphology. The MnO2-MWCNTs composite electrode fabricated exhibited remarkable areal capacitance at high active mass loadings. New scalable fabrication technique was developed for MnO2- MWCNTs by using high solubility sodium permanganate (NaMnO4) precursor. The IV Ph.D. Thesis Ryan Yuk Yeung Poon McMaster University Materials Science and Engineering fabricated composite electrode showed superior performance compared to electrodes fabricated by other colloidal techniques at similar mass loading. Liquid-liquid extraction was employed to address the problem of particles agglomeration upon drying. Bio-inspired advanced extractor lauryl gallate (LG) was used for liquid-liquid extraction of particles. LG has organic catechol group allowed for strong adsorption on inorganic particles. Using LG as an advanced extractor has facilitated the transfer of particles from aqueous to organic phase to prevent agglomeration associated with drying procedure and improved mixing with MWCNTs. Advanced dispersants from bile acid salts and charged aromatic dyes families such as sodium taurodeoxychloate (TDS) and tolonium chloride (TL) were used as MWCNTs dispersants, to fabricate composite electrode with alternative metal oxides such as Mn3O4 and V2O3. Furthermore, 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldhyde (DHB) was investigated as a dispersing agent for Mn3O4 and used to fabricate Mn3O4-MWCNTs composite electrode with TL by Schiff base formation. Mn3O4 offers the advantages of small particle size compared to MnO2, and can be converted to MnO2 by electrochemical cycling to enhance capacitive performance. V2O3 was considered as an alternative to MnO2 due to its metallic conductivity at room temperature. An activation procedure has been developed, which promoted the formation of capacitive V2O5 surface layer on conductive V2O3 to increase capacitance. The advanced dispersants have shown excellent dispersion of MWCNTs in aqueous solutions at low concentrations and facilitated the formation of homogeneous composite with Mn3O4 and V2O3. Activation procedures were developed for the Mn3O4 and V2O3 composite electrodes, and the electrodes with high active mass loadings showed exceptional performance after activation.

Why was the Common Core revised? The Common Core was updated to reflect current practices in the mining industry in Ontario. It was recognized that, in the evolution of the mining industry today, the composition of the previous Common Core required training in several modules that were no longer universally required by all mill process operators. The fact that all workers must be properly trained for the work they are performing has not changed. 2. When will the revised program #810050 be effective? The program will be effective January 1, 2012. 3. Are there new guidelines for the revised Program #810050 now that the specialty modules have been revised? Yes. The guidelines for Program # 810050 have been updated to reflect recent changes to the program. Copies of these guidelines are available from your local MTCU Apprenticeship Office.
