Cobalt hydroxide cathodlcally deposited fiom Co（NO3）O2 solution with carbon nanotubes as matrix exhibited large pseudo-capacitance of 322 F/g in 1 mol/L KOH. To characterize the cobalt hydroxide nanocomposite electrode, a charge-discharge cycling test, cyclic voltammetry, and an impedance test were done. This cobalt hydroxide composite exhibiting excellent pseudo-capacitive behavior （i.c. high reversibility, high specific capacitance, low impedance）, was demonstrated to be a candidate for the application of electrochemical supercapacitors. A combined capacitor consisting of cobalt hydroxide composite as a cathode and activated carbon fiber as an anode was reported. The electrochemical pcrformance of the combined capacitor was characterized by cyclic voltammetry and a dc charge/discharge test. The combined capacitor showed ideal capacitor behavior with an extended operating voltage of 1.4 V. According to the extended operating voltage, the energy density of the combined capacitor at a current density of 100 mA/cm^2 was found to be 11 Wh/kg. The combined capacitor exhibited high-energy density and stable power characteristics,展开更多

The model is one dimensional and can be used to optimize SOECs that have composite electrodes. It includes an average mass transfer analysis used to simulate concentration polarization, activation polarization, as well as ohmic loss. The electrochemical reaction that occurs within the electrode functional layers has been accounted for in the calculation of the concentration polarization. This is believed to give a more realistic view of the mass transfer that occurs in SOECs with composite electrodes via a simple and straightforward one dimensional model. Experimental work with SOECs also has been done and some results are reported. The simulation results are compared with experimental data and the agreement is satisfactory. The model can be conveniently used for optimization of the SOEC electrodes and operational conditions.展开更多
