It is urgent to develop energy storage devices with high specific power, high specific energy, high safety and low cost. In many application fields, some efficient and practical energy storage and conversion devices such as solar cells, lithium-ion batteries, fuel cells, supercapacitors, etc. have been gradually developed and applied. Among them, supercapacitors have the advantages of high specific power, long cycle life, and relatively complete theoretical research, and have attracted widespread attention from many researchers.
电极材料是超级电容器的“心脏和大脑”,其关乎整个器件的整体性能优劣。氧化钴、氧化钌等是大部分商用超级电容器所使用的电极材料,但由此制备得到的电极材料还存在原材料造价过高、不环保等缺陷。例如高比表面积的碳材料造价每千克可达50至100美元,导致电极材料成本较大。稀有金属钌不仅成本高昂,而且具有一定毒性,对环境有不利影响。Electrode materials are the "heart and brain" of supercapacitors, which are related to the overall performance of the entire device. Cobalt oxide, ruthenium oxide, etc. are the electrode materials used in most commercial supercapacitors. However, the electrode materials prepared therefrom also have defects such as high raw material cost and non-environmental protection. For example, the cost of carbon materials with high specific surface area can reach 50 to 100 US dollars per kilogram, resulting in high electrode material costs. The rare metal ruthenium is not only expensive, but also has certain toxicity and has adverse effects on the environment.
CuxO具有理论容量高、无毒、低成本、制备工艺简单等优点,是作为超级电容器电极材料的候选材料之一。其缺点是导电性较差,导致其实际比容量与理论比容量相差甚远。因此,有必要开发出性能更加优异的CuxO材料。Cu x O has the advantages of high theoretical capacity, non-toxicity, low cost, and simple preparation process. It is one of the candidate materials as supercapacitor electrode material. Its disadvantage is poor electrical conductivity, resulting in a large gap between its actual specific capacity and its theoretical specific capacity. Therefore, it is necessary to develop C x O materials with better performance.
