Mesoporous carbon capsules as electrode materials in electrochemical double layer capacitors.
The performance of mesoporous carbon capsules as electrode materials in electrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLCs) was evaluated in the presence of a variety of electrolytes, including room temperature ionic liquids (ILs).
متن کاملMolecular dynamics simulation of the electrical double layer in ionic liquids
The structure of the electrical double layer in the strongly coupled ionic liquid lbutyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([BMIM][PF6]) near a basal plane of graphite was investigated by molecular dynamics simulation. It is found that near an uncharged surface the ionic liquid structure differs from its bulk structure and represents a well-ordered region, extending over ~2 nm from the su...
متن کاملTailoring graphene-based electrodes from semiconducting to metallic to increase the energy density in supercapacitors.
The semiconducting character of graphene and some carbon-based electrodes can lead to noticeably lower total capacitances and stored energy densities in electric double layer (EDL)capacitors. This paper discusses the chemical and electronic structure modifications that enhance the available energy bands, density of states and quantum capacitance of graphene substrates near the Fermi level, ther...
متن کاملRoom-temperature ionic liquids: excluded volume and ion polarizability effects in the electrical double-layer structure and capacitance.
We study structures of room-temperature ionic liquids at electrified interfaces and the corresponding electrical double-layer capacities using a self-consistent mean-field theory. Ionic liquids are modeled as segmented dendrimers and the effective dielectric constant is calculated from the local distribution of ions to accommodate the excluded volume and the local dielectric screening effects. ...
متن کاملThe Influence of Anion Shape on the Electrical Double Layer Microstructure and Capacitance of Ionic Liquids-Based Supercapacitors by Molecular Simulations.
Room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) are an emerging class of electrolytes for supercapacitors. In this work, we investigate the effects of different supercapacitor models and anion shape on the electrical double layers (EDLs) of two different RTILs: 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ([Emim][Tf₂N]) and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium 2-(cyano)pyrrolide ([Emim][CNPyr])...
