Abstract
Carbon matrix nanocomposites C / Au and C / Mn x O y are obtained by a reduction of HAuCl 4 and KMnO 4 precursor solutions with single-walled carbon nanotubes or highly porous carbon materials obtained by high-temperature alkaline activation of various metamorphism degree coals. The morphology of the nanocomposite materials is studied by the electron microscopy. It is found that the filler introduction slightly reduces the specific surface of matrices and, due to the blocking of meso-and micropore volumes, filler nanoparticles do not precipitate in the pores of a predominantly microporous matrix and partially decorate them in mixed-type matrices (meso-and micropores). Nanocomposites have been studied as supercapacitor electrode materials. It is established that decorating the matrix surface with both types fillers (Au, which increases the electrical double layer capacitance, and Mn x O y , which is electrochemically active in a given potential window due to the occurrence of Red-O x electrode processes) results in an increase in the supercapacitor electrodes capacitance. The most significant effect is observed for composites based on the SWCNT and highly porous Boghead in the region of high potential scan rates by a factor of 3.4 – 4.5, and in the region of low rates (2.5 – 2.8), depending on the filler. The results obtained allow one to consider the composites C / Au and C / Mn x O y as promising materials for the development of SC electrodes.
期刊介绍:
The aim of "Letters on materials" is to provide a fast publication of short research and review articles on various topics in materials science and related areas of material physics and mechanics. The editorial board sees it''s own task in rapid informing of the readers on the state-of-the-art challenges and achievements in materials science. The editorial board does its best to select high quality papers reporting new scientific results that are of interest for researchers in materials science, physics, and mechanics. "Letters on materials" invites Russian and foreign researches to publish papers in both the Russian and English languages. The scope of the journal covers the following research areas: structure analysis of materials, mechanical and physical properties of materials, production and processing of materials, experimental methods of investigation of materials, theory and computational methods in solid state physics. "Letters on materials" is designed for researchers, engineers, lecturers, and students working in the areas of materials science, mechanical engineering, metal forming, physics, and material mechanics.
