Characteristics of electric double layer in different aqueous electrolyte solutions for supercapacitors

Aiming to find suitable electrolytes for electric double layer capacitor (EDLC),the relationship between the formation velocity of electric double layer and the specific capacitance in different electrolyte (H 2 SO 4,KOH,KCl,NH 4 Cl,and LiOH) solutions was investigated by cyclic voltammetry and AC impedance with varying frequency and potential,which was also analyzed based on Stern model and Gouy-Chapman diffusion layer model.It shows that the capacitance is positively correlated with the formation velocity of the electric double layers,which is affected by the type of ions applied,the concentration of the electrolyte solution,and the potential and frequencies as well.The electrolyte solutions of 6 mol/L KOH and 4 mol/L H 2 SO 4 provide the largest capacitance,reaching 214 and 186 μF/cm 2,respectively.Both 6 mol/L KOH and 4 mol/L H 2 SO 4 solutions are suitable electrolytes for EDLC applications using Pt as electrodes.     

Polymer Electrolytes Based on Ionic Liquids

1 Results Classical solutions of electrolytes are obtained by dissolution of salts in molecular solvents. Such systems consist of solvated ions, their charged or neutral combinations and solvent molecules. On the other hand, a salt may be melted down, or in other words ‘liquified’, by providing to the system a heat to counterbalance the salt lattice energy. Such a system, called molten salts or ionic liquid (IL), consists of ions and their combinations and is free of any molecular solvent. Relatively hi...     

STUDY ON FUNCTIONAL GROUPS OF CARBON FIBER SURFACE

Rayon-based carbon fibers were anodically oxidized in the presence of a variety of electrolytes. The functional groups produced on carbon fiber surface were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Both K Br pellet spectra and ATR difference spectra indicate that carboxyl and phenolic and carbonyl groups were produced. The acidic groups, carboxyl and phenol, were measured by potentiometrie titration with standard solutions of acid and alkali. The results show that the amount of acidic groups is related to the electrolyte used.     

NMR Studies on Diffusion and Molecular Motions of Imidazolium Ionic Liquids doped by Lithium Salts Related to Ionic Conductivity and Computational Interaction Energy

1 Results Room-temperature Ionic liquids (RTILs) are special class of compounds, where a combination of cations and anions produces neutral, stable and viscous liquids with high ionic conductivity. Widely spread applications are proposed to use conductors, electrolytes, clean solvents and others. Especially, RTILs are expected to be safe electrolytes in the ion-lithium batteries. In this study, NMR methods are used to clarify the basic properties of the individual movements of the anions and cations of the imidazolium ionic liquids which have been demonstrated to be valid as the lithium electrolytes. The ion self-diffusion and the molecular reorientational motions are interpreted by the mutual ion interactions calculated by ab initio molecular orbital method.     

Gelation Behavior of Poly （Vinylidene Fluoride ）-based Gel Polymer Electrolyte

Poly （ vinylidene fluoride ） （ PVdF ）-based gel polymer electrolytes with various compositions were prepared by solution casting technique, The kinetics of gelation was analyzed via the correlation between the apparent gelation rate and concentration of PVdF at a given temperature, Combination the results of the kinetics of gelation and the DSC study, it revealed that the phase separation was the major behavior and the fibrils were the major junction joints of the three-dimensional network even in the case the concentration of PVdF was higher than 25 wt%. The porous surface observed by ESEM also reflected that the phase separation took place during the gelation.     

Prediction of Solid-Liquid Equilibrium for KCI in Mixed Water-Ethanol Solutions Using the LIQUAC Model

The LIQUAC model is often used to predict vapor-liquid equilibria, osmotic coefficients, and mean ion activity coefficients for electrolyte systems. This paper describes a thermodynamic method to analyze solid-liquid equilibrium for electrolytes in mixed solvents solutions using the LIQUAC model. The KCI solubilities in mixed water-ethanol solutions are predicted with the LIQUAC model and its original interaction parameters. This method is also used to obtain new K^＋-ethanol interaction parameters in the LIQUAC model from the solubility data. The new interaction parameters accurately predict the vapor-liquid equilibrium data of K^＋ salts （including KCI, KBr, and KCOOCH3） in mixed water-ethanol solutions. The results illustrate the flexibility of the LIQUAC model which can predict not only vapor-liquid equilibrium but also solid-liquid equilibrium in mixed solvent systems.     

Effect of Electrolyte Impurities within Starch on the Adhesion of Quaternary Ammofiium Starch to Fibers

Influences of some electrolyte impurities within starch and starch cationization on the adhesion of quaternary ammonium cornstarch to cotton and polyester fibers were investigated. The electrolytes considered included NaCI, Na2SO4, NaH2PO4 and Na2HPO4. The adhesion to fibers was evaluated in terms of maximum strength and work-to-break of the roving sized with the starch pastes containing electrolytes. It was found that the cationization showed a positive effect on the adhesion to both fibers whereas the electrolytes gave an adverse effect and reduced the adhesion. The adverse effect depends on the type and amount of electrolytes. The influence of electrolytes on the adhesion can be ranked in a series of NaH2PO4〉 Na2 HPO4〉 Na2SO4 〉 NaCl. The adhesion enhances as the modification extent increases and the electrolyte content decreases. Furthermore, the adverse effect can be compensated by the positive effect of the starch modification even at a low modification extent. If the electrolytes are fully eliminated, the cationic starch can increase the adhesion strength by more than 10% for both fibers.     

Progress on the Electrolytes for Dye-sensitized Solar Cells

1 Results The development of a new type of solar cell has been promoted by public concern about pollution and energy consumption.Since the prototype of a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) was reported in 1991 by M.Gratzel,it has aroused intensive interest over the past decade due to its low cost and simple preparation procedure.The typical cell is a sandwiched structure consisting of a dye-sensitized TiO2 electrode,a platinized counter electrode and a filled redox couple electrolyte between the electrodes.The electrolyte plays an important role in the photoelectronic performance and long-term stability for DSCs.In this review,the progress on the electrolytes in dye-sensitized solar cells is reported.A novel concept both thermoplastic and thermosetting gel electrolytes is proposed.Based on the new electrolytes,two quasi-solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells with good photovoltaic performance and long-term stability are fabricated,which are two kinds of the most available electrolytes for DSCs in practical uses and industrialization.     

Migration of Cations and Anions in Amorphous Polymer Electrolytes

1 Results Polymer electrolytes are used as ion conductors in batteries and fuel cells.Simple systems consist of a polymer matrix complexing an inorganic salt and are fully amorphous at the temperatures of interest.Both cations and anions are mobile and contribute to charge transport.Most studies on polymer electrolytes use the electrical conductivity to characterize the ion mobility.However,conductivity measurements cannot discriminate between cations and anions.This paper reports some recent results from radiotracer diffusion experiments performed on electrolytes consisting of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and sodium iodide (NaI)[1-3].It is found that the self-diffusivities of cations and anions show differences in magnitude and temperature dependence[1].In addition,the measured dc conductivities are smaller than corresponding data calculated from the tracer diffusion coefficients.The discrepancy can be explained within a model[2] that makes allowance for the formation of mobile cation-anion pairs.     

Insight into the covalent grafting of organic films onto carbon steel surfaces for protection

The novel use of p-nitrophenyldiazonium tetrafluoroborate salt(GG salt)as a protectant that is electrochemically grafted onto carbon steel has been investigated in0.05 mol L-1H2SO4and 5 wt%NaCl solutions using various corrosion monitoring techniques,such as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy,potentiodynamic polarisation,infrared spectra and scanning electron microscopy measurements.The electrochemical study reveals that this compound is a mixed inhibitor that predominantly controls the cathodic reaction.The surface-grafted film decreases the double-layer capacitance and obviously increases the charge transfer resistance relative to a bare carbon electrode.The values of inhibition effect remain nearly unchanged with an increase in temperature range of 298–318 K.The aryl diazonium is covalently bonded on the steel surface,causing a slight decrease in the apparent activation energy.Overall,the surface-grafted films exhibit excellent inhibition performance in acid and saline solutions within the studied temperature range.     

The Feasibility of ASP Flooding with Low Alkali Concentration in Heterogeneous Reservoirs

In this paper, as far as the ASP flooding in the pilot area of Daqing oilfield is concerned, the effect of apparent viscosity of ASP solution on enhanced oil recovery have been studied by comparison of experiments on artificial heterogeneous cores with on natural cores.The results showed that the decrease in the concentration of alkali could increase tile apparent viscosity of ASP solutions, namely, the apparent viscosity increased and the IFF couldn‘t get ultra low, and the oil recovery efficiency by ASP solution with a reasonably lower concentration of alkali was not less than that with a higher concentration of alkali and ultra low IFF. The experiments with models having impermeable interlayers between adjacent layers, and by means of “co-injection and separate production” showed that the ASP solution with a higher viscosity and a lower alkali concentration was more beneficial to starting-up medium and low permeability layers and enhancing total oil recovery. Therefore, to heterogeneous reservoir, as factors of affecting oil recovery, the apparent viscosity may be more important than the ultralow IFF. Furthermore, on the premise that the concentration of surfactant and the concentration of polymer keep constant, ASP flooding with low alkali concentration not only enlarges the selectable range of surfactants and decreases the cost of ASP flooding, but also solves the problem of alkali scales. Finally, a dynamic absorption experiment was performed with a 0.5 meter long linked-up natural core to determine alkali wastage in formation. The result being accord with the application case in the pilot confirmed that it was not necessary to add the alkali too much in ASP flooding from a new direction.     

Effect of Electrolyte Impurities within Starch on the Adhesion of Quaternary Ammonium Starch to Fibers

Influences of some electrolyte impurities within starch and starch cationization on the adhesion of quaternary ammonium cornstarch to cotton and polyester fibers were investigated.The electrolytes considered included NaCl,Na2SO4,NaH2PO4 and Na2HPO4.The adhesion to fibers was evaluated in terms of maximum strength and work-to-break of the roving sized with the starch pastes containing electrolytes.It was found that the cationization showed a positive effect on the adhesion to both fibers whereas the electrolytes gave an adverse effect and reduced the adhesion.The adverse effect depends on the type and amount of electrolytes.The influence of electrolytes on the adhesion can be ranked in a series of NaH2PO4 > Na2HPO4 > Na2SO4 > NaCl.The adhesion enhances as the modification extent increases and the electrolyte content decreases.Furthermore,the adverse effect can be compensated by the positive effect of the starch modification even at a low modification extent.If the electrolytes are fully eliminated,the cationic starch can increase the adhesion strength by more than 10% for both fibers.

Electrochemical characterization of ion selectivity in electrodeposited nickel hexacyanoferrate thin films

The ion selectivity of electrodeposited nickel hexacyanoferrate (NiHCF) thin films was investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). NiHCF thin films were prepared by cathodic deposition on Pt and Al substrates. EIS and CV curves were determined in 1 mol/L (KNO₃+C₅NO₃) and 1 mol/L (NaNO₃+CsNO₃) mixture solutions, which were sensitive to the concentration of Cs+ in the electrolytes. Experimental results show that all Nyquist impedance plots show depressed semicircles in the high-frequency range changing over into straight lines at lower frequencies. With increasing amounts of Cs+, the redox potentials in CV curves shift toward more positive values and the redox peaks broaden; the semicircle radius in corresponding EIS curves and the charge transfer resistance also increase. EIS combining CV is able to provide valuable insights into the ion selectivity of NiHCF thin films.     

Influences of Electrolytes on Soap-Free P(ST-MMA-AA) Emulsion Polymerization

1Introduction Functional polymer microspheres are kinds of polymer particles with special structures, morphologies or functional groups[1] , and have been gained much attention because of their specific properties and their application since 1980s. Although some researches have investigated that the latex particle size and its distribution,as well as the stability of polymerization and the resultant latex were strongly influenced by introducing electrolyte into the emulsion polymerization system[2] , few of them focused on the systematic study of electrolytes on the soap-free emulsion polymerization, which is considered as a conventional approach to synthesize functional polymer microspheres with clean surfaces[2]. In this presentation, the influences of variety and dosage of electrolytes on soap-free emulsion polymerization of St, MMA and AA were studied, and a series of micron or submicron sized latex particles with narrow distribution were obtained.
