High-performance three-dimensional nanoporous NiO film as a supercapacitor electrode

Abstract: A three-dimensional nanoporous NiO film was fabricated using a two-step process through an electrochemical route. The as-prepared NiO film exhibited a highly nanoporous structure and high surface area (264 m2 g−1). The textural characterization of the film and its electrochemical performance as an electrochemical electrode were investigated. The electrode showed a high specific capacitance (1776 F g−1), power density (89 Wh kg−1), and energy density (16.5 kW kg−1). In addition, the electrode exhibited high and stable specific capacitance retention after a long cycle test in KOH solution. More importantly, the power density met the power requirements of the Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles (PNGV).

Hierarchical MnCo-layered double hydroxides@Ni(OH)2 core–shell heterostructures as advanced electrodes for supercapacitors

Abstract: Rational assembly and hetero-growth of hybrid structures consisting of multiple components with distinctive features are a promising and challenging strategy to develop materials for energy storage applications. Herein, we propose a supercapacitor electrode comprising a three-dimensional self-supported hierarchical MnCo-layered double hydroxides@Ni(OH)2 [MnCo-LDH@Ni(OH)2] core–shell heterostructure on conductive nickel foam. The resultant MnCo-LDH@Ni(OH)2 structure exhibited a high specific capacitance of 2320 F g−1 at a current density of 3 A g−1, and a capacitance of 1308 F g−1 was maintained at a high current density of 30 A g−1 with a superior long cycle lifetime. Moreover, an asymmetric supercapacitor was successfully assembled using MnCo-LDH@Ni(OH)2 as the positive electrode and activated carbon (AC) as the negative electrode. The optimized MnCo-LDH@Ni(OH)2//AC device with a voltage of 1.5 V delivered a maximum energy density of 47.9 W h kg−1 at a power density of 750.7 W kg−1. The energy density remained at 9.8 W h kg−1 at a power density of 5020.5 W kg−1 with excellent cycle stability.

Rotating-Disk-Based Hybridized Electromagnetic-Triboelectric Nanogenerator for Sustainably Powering Wireless Traffic Volume Sensors.

Abstract: Wireless traffic volume detectors play a critical role for measuring the traffic-flow in a real-time for current Intelligent Traffic System. However, as a battery-operated electronic device, regularly replacing battery remains a great challenge, especially in the remote area and wide distribution. Here, we report a self-powered active wireless traffic volume sensor by using a rotating-disk-based hybridized nanogenerator of triboelectric nanogenerator and electromagnetic generator as the sustainable power source. Operated at a rotating rate of 1000 rpm, the device delivered an output power of 17.5 mW, corresponding to a volume power density of 55.7 W/m3 (Pd = P/V, see Supporting Information for detailed calculation) at a loading resistance of 700 Ω. The hybridized nanogenerator was demonstrated to effectively harvest energy from wind generated by a moving vehicle through the tunnel. And the delivered power is capable of triggering a counter via a wireless transmitter for real-time monitoring the traffic vo...

Intermediate Temperature Solid Oxide Fuel Cells Using a New LaGaO3 Based Oxide Ion Conductor I. Doped as a New Cathode Material

Abstract: ‐based perovskite oxides doped with Sr and Mg exhibit high ionic conductivity over a wide range of oxygen partial pressure. In this study, the stability of ‐based oxide was investigated. The ‐based oxide was found to be very stable in reducing, oxidizing, and atmospheres. Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) using ‐based perovskite‐type oxide as the electrolyte were studied for use in intermediate‐temperature SOFCs. The power‐generation characteristics of cells were strongly affected by the electrodes. Both Ni and (Ln:rare earth) were suitable for use as anode and cathode, respectively. Rare‐earth cations in the Ln site of the Co‐based perovskite cathode also had a significant effect on the power‐generation characteristics. In particular, a high power density could be attained in the temperature range 973–1273 K by using a doped for the cathode. Among the examined alkaline earth cations, Sr‐doped exhibits the smallest cathodic overpotential resulting in the highest power density. The electrical conductivity of increased with increasing Sr doped into the Sm site and attained a maximum at . The cathodic overpotential and internal resistance of the cell exhibited almost the opposite dependence on the amount of doped Sr. Consequently, the power density of the cell was a maximum when was used as the cathode. For this cell, the maximum power density was as high as 0.58 W/cm2 at 1073 K, even though a 0.5 mm thick electrolyte was used. This study revealed that a ‐based oxide for electrolyte and a ‐based oxide for the cathode are promising components for SOFCs operating at intermediate temperature.
