Fabrication and Electrochemical Properties of Carbon Nanotube-based Composite Electrodes for Electrochemical Capacitor Applications

1 Results Electrochemical capacitors (ECs) are expected to be used in hybrid electric vehicles in combination with batteries or fuel cells because of their higher power density than batteries. ECs using electrical double layer capacitance of carbon based materials and pseudocapacitance of transition metal oxides are called electrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLC) and supercapacitors (or pseudocapacitor), respectively. Transition metal oxides are considered the best candidates for high energy dens...
