Low Temperature Synthesis of MnO2/Graphene Nanocomposites for Supercapacitors

Facile synthesis of graphene-CeO2 nanocomposites with enhanced electrochemical properties for supercapacitors.

Graphene-ceria (CeO2G) nanocomposites were prepared by using a low-temperature solution process with different weight percentages of graphene, and their electrochemical properties were investigated. Structural properties of the nanocomposites were studied by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and FTIR spectral analyses. FE-SEM and HRTEM images revealed a "wrinkled paper"-like morphology of ...

Performance of polyaniline/manganese oxide-MWCNT Nanocomposites as Supercapacitors

Composite electrodes of polyaniline/MnO2-Multi walled carbon nanotube (PANI/MnO2-MWCNT), MnO2-MWCNT nanocomposites and MWCNT was produced by the in situ direct coating approach. The supercapacitor performance of the nanocomposites was studied by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The electrochemical properties of electrodes were also investig...

Application of Nanocomposites for Supercapacitors: Characteristics and Properties

Synthesis, characterization and low temperature electrical conductivity of Polyaniline/NiFe2O4 nanocomposites

Conducting polymer/ferrite nanocomposites with an organized structure provide a new functional hybrid between organic and inorganic materials. The most popular among the conductive polymers is the polyaniline (PANI) due to its wide application in different fields. In the present work nickel ferrite (NiFe2O4) nanoparticles were prepared by sol-gel citrate-nitrate method with an average size of 2...

LOW TEMPERATURE SYNTHESIS OF NANOCRYSTALLINE MgAl2O4 SPINEL VIA SUCROSE PROCESS

Abstract: Nanocrystalline MgAl2O4 spinel powder was synthesized using metal nitrates and a polymer matrix-based composed of sucrose and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The precursor and the calcined powders were characterized by simultaneous thermal analysis (STA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). According to XRD res...
