Abstract
To reduce polarization of electrochemical capacitor based on carbon nanotube, titanium oxide nanoparticles were deposited by ultrasound. The pore distribution of TiO2/CNT nanoparticle exhibited surface area of 341 m2g?1 when TiO2 content was 4 wt %, which was better than that of pristine CNT with surface area of 188 m2g?1. The analyses indicated that titanium oxide (particle diameter < 20 nm) was deposited on the CNT surface. The electrochemical performance was evaluated by using cyclic voltammetry (CV), impedance measurement, and constant-current charge/discharge cycling techniques. The TiO2/CNT composite electrode showed relatively better electrochemical behaviors than CNT electrode by increasing the specific capacitance from 22 Fg?1 to 37 Fg?1 in 1 M H2SO4 solution. A symmetric cell assembled with the composite electrodes showed the specific capacitance value of 11 Fg?1 at a current loading of 0.5 mAcm?2 during initial cycling.
