摘要: 通过水热法制备了粘附于导电碳纳米管(CNT)纸表面生长的层级花状β-Co(OH)2, 并将其作为电化学电容器高性能柔性复合电极材料。用X射线衍射(XRD)和扫描电子显微镜(SEM)表征了产物的微观结构和形貌。所得材料为三维疏松分层纳米花结构的β-Co(OH)2/CNT纸复合材料, 其直径约为3 μm。通过循环伏安法、恒电流充放电和交流阻抗等测试手段研究了该柔性材料的电容性能, 结果表明: 该复合材料在6 mol/L KOH电解液中, 电流密度为2 A/g时比容量达到2764 F/g; 碳纳米管纸赋予了复合材料优良的导电性和柔韧性, 同时β-Co(OH)2的层级花状结构利于活性物质与电解液之间的接触, 因此, 复合材料与纯的β-Co(OH)2相比, 倍率容量和循环性能都得到明显改善。

Abstract: Uniform hierarchical flower-like β-Co(OH)2 anchored on conducting carbon nanotube (CNT) papers were successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method, which could be served as flexible electrode material for high-performance electrochemical capacitors. The structure, morphology and properties of the products were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results indicated that the as-prepared material was pure brucite phase. Three dimensional (3D) loose nano-flowerlike structure with the diameter of about 3 μm were stacked by multilevel β-Co(OH)2 flakes. Electrochemical performances of this flexible paper-like electrode were investigated by cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge-discharge and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy test in 6 mol/L KOH aqueous electrolyte. Electrochemical data indicated that the interesting β-Co(OH)2/CNT paper composite delivered a considerable specific capacitance of 2764 F/g at current density of 2 A/g. The CNT paper acted as a good conductive and flexible substrate for the composite electrodes in supercapacitors, and the hierarchical flower-like structure of the β-Co(OH)2 could facilitate the contact of the electrolyte. the β-Co(OH)2 nanoflower composite performed an obvious improvement of rate capacity and cycling stability, compared with pure phase β-Co(OH)2.

Key words: β-Co(OH)2, carbon nanotube paper, flexible electrode, specific capacitance
