Abstract
ABSTRACT RuO2 electrodes were spray-deposited utilizing an aqueous/organic solvent mixture at varied substrate temperatures. X-ray diffraction data supported the rutile structure and tetragonal phase of RuO2. FESEM images showed a porous structure with small spherical grains covering the entire substrate surface. Optical studies have shown that RuO2 films have bandgaps between 1.90 and 2.13 eV. Electrical resistivity was found in the range of 0.57 × 104 Ω-cm to 1.23 × 104 Ω-cm. CV (scan rate 5 mVs−1) results confirmed the specific capacitances of 560, 637, 687, 602 and 527 Fg−1 at substrate temperatures of 250, 275, 290, 300 and 325°C, respectively, in 0.5 M H2SO4 electrolyte. RuO2 provided a high specific capacitance 741 Fg−1 (current density 0.5 Ag−1) from GCD profile besides good specific capacitance holding of 87.66% over 3000 continuous charge–discharge cycles. The results show that RuO2 films spray deposited with aqueous/organic solvent mixtures give the best results.
期刊介绍:
Phase Transitions is the only journal devoted exclusively to this important subject. It provides a focus for papers on most aspects of phase transitions in condensed matter. Although emphasis is placed primarily on experimental work, theoretical papers are welcome if they have some bearing on experimental results. The areas of interest include:
-structural phase transitions (ferroelectric, ferroelastic, multiferroic, order-disorder, Jahn-Teller, etc.) under a range of external parameters (temperature, pressure, strain, electric/magnetic fields, etc.)
-geophysical phase transitions
-metal-insulator phase transitions
-superconducting and superfluid transitions
-magnetic phase transitions
-critical phenomena and physical properties at phase transitions
-liquid crystals
-technological applications of phase transitions
-quantum phase transitions
Phase Transitions publishes both research papers and invited articles devoted to special topics. Major review papers are particularly welcome. A further emphasis of the journal is the publication of a selected number of small workshops, which are at the forefront of their field.
