Preparation of Activated Carbon/iron Oxide/chitosan Electrodes for Symmetric Supercapacitor Using Electrophoretic Deposition: A Facile, Fast and Sustainable Approach
Journal of alloys and compounds(2024)
摘要
In this research, electrophoretic deposition (EPD) was employed to prepare a porous composite film (ACF electrode) consisting of 90wt% activated carbon particles, 10wt% iron oxide nanoparticles, and a chitosan as binder in a facile, fast, and sustainable manner. This micro-mesoporous composite film, with a thickness of ~45µm and a surface area of ~208.1 m2g-1, was coated on a stainless steel substrate. The SEM and TEM investigations proved the homogeneous distribution of carbon microparticles and iron oxide nanoparticles in the deposit, while the EDX, XRD, Raman spectroscopy, and XPS confirmed the chemical composition. ACF electrodes were also used in a symmetric two-electrode cell configuration with a sandwiched gel polymer electrolyte - PVdF(HFP)-PC-Mg(ClO4)2 and revealed a specific capacitance of ~54.4Fg-1, along with satisfactory energy and power density of ~4.7Whkg-1 and 1.2kWkg-1, respectively, and excellent electrochemical stability up to ~10,000 cycles (with merely 8.5% decay by the 5000th cycle). Obtained results confirmed the stability of the used system and its possible application in the field of energy storage and conversion.
