Abstract

Composite electrodes for redox supercapacitor were prepared potentiodynamically by the deposition of $RuO_2$ and the co-deposition of Ru-Co mixed oxide on the surface of single-walled carbon nanotube. Electrode of Ru-Co mixed oxide, in which Ru(13.13 wt%) and Co(2.89 wt%) were deposited on the carbon nanotube, exhibited a similar specific capacitance(${\sim}620\;F\;g^{-1}$) with $RuO_2$ electrode at a low potential scan rate($10\;mV\;s^{-1}$), but showed a superior one ($570\;F\;g^{-1}$) at a high scan rate($500\;mV\;s^{-1}$) than that of $RuO_2$($475\;F\;g^{-1}$). Such increase in the specific capacitance at high scan rate by the co-deposition of Ru and Co species was due to the structural support of Co species to provide the electronic conduction through Ru species.

단일벽 탄소나노튜브의 표면 위에 동력학적 전위법으로 산화루테늄($RuO_2$)의 석출 및 루테늄-코발트 혼합산화물(Ru-Co mixed oxide)의 공석출에 의해 산화환원 수퍼커페시터용 복합전극을 제조하였다. 루테늄 성분이 13.13 wt%, 코발트 성분이 2.89 wt%가 석출된 Ru-Co 혼합산화물 전극은 낮은 전위 스캔속도($10\;mV\;s^{-1}$)에서는 $RuO_2$ 전극과 유사한 비용량(${\sim}620\;F\;g^{-1}$)을 나타내지만, 높은 스캔속도($500\;mV\;s^{-1}$)에서는 $RuO_2$ 전극보다 큰 비용량을 보인다. 높은 스캔 속도에서 Ru-Co 혼합산화물 전극이 비용량의 증가를 나타내는 것은 Ru 성분을 통한 전기전도성을 Co 성분이 구조적으로 지지해주기 때문이다.
