비닐에틸렌 카보네이트(VEC: vinyl ethylene carbonate)를 전해질 첨가제로 사용했을 때 하이브리드 커패시터(hybrid capacitors) 전극에서 나타나는 전기화학적 특성변화에 대해서 고찰하였다. 하이브리드 커패시터는 양극은 활성탄(AC : activated carbon) 음극은 리튬티타늄옥사이드(LTO: $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$)를 사용하였고, 전해질로서는 에틸렌 카보네이트(EC: ethylene carbonate): 디메틸 카보네이트 (DMC: dimethyl carbonate) : 에틸메틸 카보네이트(EMC : ethyl methyl carbonate)를 사용하였고, 염으로 육불화인산리튬($LiPF_6$: lithium hexafluoro phosphate)을 사용하였다. 전극 표면의 산소관능기 그룹을 제거하고, 표면을 환원시킴으로써 전극에 안정성을 향상시킨다고 알려진 VEC의 첨가량에 따른 전기화학적 특성을 평가하였으며, 0.7%(부피비)의 VEC첨가시, 가장 우수한 전기화학적 특성을 얻을 수 있었다. 0.7% 이상 첨가하였을 경우, 오히려 부반응 증가로 전기화학적 성능이 감소하였다. X-ray photoelectron spectrocopy (XPS) 결과로부터 LTO 전극에서 VEC가 첨가되지 않은 전해질에 비해 LiF가 감소한 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. VEC가 첨가되지 않은 전해질은 2500 사이클 후, 43.2 %의 용량 유지를 나타냈지만, 최적화된 VEC 첨가를 통하여 82.7 %의 높은 용량을 유지하는 특성을 가진 하이브리드 커패시터를 얻을 수 있었다.

Pseudo capacitors belong to one group of super capacitors which are consisted with non carbon based electrodes. As such, conducting polymers and metal oxide materials have been employed for pseudo capacitors. Conducting polymer based pseudo capacitors have received a great attention due to their interesting features such as flexibility, low cost and ease of synthesis. Much work has been done using liquid electrolytes for those pseudo capacitors but has undergone various drawbacks. It has now been realized the use of solid polymer electrolytes as an alternative. Among them gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) are in a key place due to their high ambient temperature conductivities as well as suitable mechanical properties. In this study, composition of a polyacrylonitrile (PAN) based GPE was optimized and it was employed as the electrolyte in a pseudo capacitor having polypyrrole (PPy) electrodes. GPE was prepared using ethylene carbonate (EC), propylene carbonate (PC), sodium thiocyanate (NaSCN) and PAN as starting materials. The maximum room temperature conductivity of the GPE was $1.92{\times}10^{-3}Scm^{-1}$ for the composition 202.5 PAN : 500 EC : 500 PC : 35 NaSCN (by weight). Performance of the pseudo capacitor was investigated using Cyclic Voltammetry technique, Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) technique and Continuous Charge Discharge (GCD) test. The single electrode specific capacity (Cs) was found out to be 174.31 F/g using Cyclic Voltammetry technique at the scan rate of 10 mV/s and within the potential window -1.2 V to 1.2 V. The same value obtained using EIS was about 84 F/g. The discharge capacity ($C_d$) was 69.8 F/g. The capacity fade over 1000 cycles was rather a low value of 4%. The results proved the suitability of the pseudo capacitor for improving the performance further.

A hybrid supercapacitor is fabricated using a composite material from $LiMn_2O_4$ (LMO) and activated carbon (AC) as the positive electrode and AC as the negative electrode to form the (LMO + AC)/AC system. Volume ratio (positive : negative) of electrodes is controlled to investigate of the power and energy balance. The (LMO + AC)/AC system shows better performances than the LMO/AC system. Especially, electrochemical impedance spectra, rate charge.discharge and cycle performance testing show that the (LMO + AC)/AC system have an outstanding electrochemical performance at volume ratios of (LMO + AC)/AC = 1 : 1.7 and 1 : 2. Electric double layer capacitor (EDLC) capacitance between AC of the positive electrode and AC of the negative electrode improves power density without loss of capacitance. Stable capacitance is achieved by lowering the positive electrode resistance and balancing the energy and power densities between the positive and negative electrodes by the addition of AC to the positive electrode at high current density.

A conducting polymer layer was introduced into the pore surface of mesoporous carbon via vapor infiltration of a monomer and subsequent chemical oxidative polymerization. The polypyrrole, conducting polymer has attracted considerable attention due to the high electrical conductivity and stability under ambient conditions. The mesoporous carbon-polypyrrole nanocomposite exhibited the retained porous structure, such as mesoporous carbon with a three-dimensionally connected pore system after intercalation of the polypyrrole layer. In addition, the controllable addition of pyrrole monomer can provide the mesoporous carbon-polypyrrole nanocomposites with a tunable amount of polypyrrole and texture property. The polypyrrole layer improved the electrode performance in the electrochemical double layer capacitor. This improved electrochemical performance was attributed to the high surface area, open pore system with three-dimensionally interconnected mesopores, and reversible redox behavior of the conducting polypyrrole. Furthermore, the correlation between the amount of polypyrrole and capacitance was investigated to check the effect of the polypyrrole layer on the electrochemical performance.
