Book Description
Supercapacitors have attracted considerable attention owing to their high power density, long cycle-life, short charging time, and safe operation for promising applications to overcome limited supplies of energy and environmental problems. Supercapacitors are designed to bridge the gap between batteries and capacitors, and to form fast-charging energy-storage devices for intermediate, specific energy. The supercapacitor is an important device in energy-storage and energy-conversion systems, and is used in electric vehicles, uninterruptible power supplies, as well as memory protection for computer electronics and mobile phones. This book aids understanding of the basic technology and nanostructure of conducting polymers and their composites, which are emerging as novel fields of research and development for 'smart' materials (especially supercapacitors). Concepts of supercapacitors are explained clearly and concisely. This book is oriented around chemical engineering, so professionals involved in polymer science may find this book suitable for their advanced and applied field of research. This book will provide such professionals the opportunity to learn about conducting polymers and nanocomposites, as well as their production and processing technology for supercapacitors. Attention is focused mainly on the preparation of conducting polymer-based binary and ternary nanocomposites and their electrochemical performances for supercapacitor application. Nevertheless, this book will be a valuable reference for scientists, engineers, and students interested in the investigation and exploitation of a fascinating new class of conducting polymer nanocomposites.

Electrochemical Supercapacitors

Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1475730586
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 714
Book Description
The first model for the distribution of ions near the surface of a metal electrode was devised by Helmholtz in 1874. He envisaged two parallel sheets of charges of opposite sign located one on the metal surface and the other on the solution side, a few nanometers away, exactly as in the case of a parallel plate capacitor. The rigidity of such a model was allowed for by Gouy and Chapman inde pendently, by considering that ions in solution are subject to thermal motion so that their distribution from the metal surface turns out diffuse. Stern recognized that ions in solution do not behave as point charges as in the Gouy-Chapman treatment, and let the center of the ion charges reside at some distance from the metal surface while the distribution was still governed by the Gouy-Chapman view. Finally, in 1947, D. C. Grahame transferred the knowledge of the struc ture of electrolyte solutions into the model of a metal/solution interface, by en visaging different planes of closest approach to the electrode surface depending on whether an ion is solvated or interacts directly with the solid wall. Thus, the Gouy-Chapman-Stern-Grahame model of the so-called electrical double layer was born, a model that is still qualitatively accepted, although theoreti cians have introduced a number of new parameters of which people were not aware 50 years ago.
