Intercalation-type electrodes of copper-cobalt oxides for high-energy-density supercapacitors

초록

A series of CuxCo3-xO4 nanostructures (CCO) with a controllable surface morphology and oxygen vacancy density are directly grown on charge-collecting substrates via an electrochemical deposition process and subsequently used as intercalation-type electrodes for high-energy-density supercapacitors (SCs). The capacitive performance of the CCOs is strongly dependent on the rate of oxygen diffusion via intercalation in oxygen-deficient CCOs. The nanopetal electrode of Cu0.95Co2.05O4 calcined at 200 degrees C (CCO-200) exhibits a capacitance of similar to 1890 F g(-1) at a scan rate of 10 mV s(-1), whereas it decreases gradually with increasing sintering temperature. A symmetric CCO-200@stainless steel SCs exhibits a capacitance and an energy density as high as similar to 865.50 F g(-1) and 108.18 W h kg(-1), respectively, at a current density of 1.25 A g(-1) with high durability for 10,000 cycles. The enhanced capacitive performance is attributed to the high electrical conductivity and high oxygen diffusion rate in CCO-200. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
