The effect of PAni content on the electrochemical performances of the alloy electrode was investigated. It was found that the CoSb3 electrode using the binary PAni/PVDF binder exhibits higher reversible capacity than that using the single PVDF binder, especially in the initial cycles. As a result, the PAni/PVDF hybrid could be a promising binder for the alloy electrode.展开更多

The microstructures and surface morphologies of nano-PANI@MnO2 were characterized by X-ray diffraction,scanning electron microscopy and fourier transformation infrared spectroscope. The electrochemical performance of these composite materials was performed with cyclic voltammetry,charge–discharge test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy,respectively. The results demonstrate that the feed ratio of aniline to MnO2 played a very important role in constructing the hierarchically nano-structure,which would,hence,determine the electrochemical performance of the materials. Using the templateassisted strategy and controlling the feed ratio of aniline to MnO2,the nanometer tubular structure of nanoPANI@MnO2 was obtained. A maximum specific capacitance of 386 F/g was achieved in aqueous 1 mol/L Na NO3 electrolyte with the potential range from 0 to 0.6 V（vs. SCE）.展开更多
