Electrophoretic deposition of α-Fe2O3-based electrodes and its composites for supercapacitor application
摘要
Electrical energy storage technology is promising and is expected to play a major role in the widespread adoption of smart power grids, intermittent energy sources, and electric vehicles. The development of highly efficient charge storage materials is required for effective energy supply and to meet the current energy demand. Supercapacitors with high power density, high specific capacitance, good stability, and fast charging/ discharging characteristics are highly desirable in an electrical energy storage technology. Metal oxide composites have gained huge attention in energy storage applications due to their remarkable properties compared to pristine metal oxides. Herein, magnetic Fe2O3@SnO2 composites were synthesized by EPD (Electrophoretic deposition), and its characterization was done using Raman and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) techniques. Electrochemical performance was characterized using CV and GCD techniques in three-electrode systems with KOH as electrolyte.
