Proton Exchange Membrane Electrochemical Ultracapacitor

增加电催化粒子在电极中的分散度可以提高质子交换膜电容器的能量密度。电化学超级电容器通过利用双层和表面氧化还原过程来储存能量。该项目的主要目标是在碳表面制备高度分散的氧化Ru。然后，这种材料将被表征，并使用商业离聚体薄膜并入到超级电容器的原型中。高能量密度电化学超级电容器的可能应用包括电动汽车、脉冲功率空间应用、电力调节和计算机内存备份。

Energy density in proton-exchange-membrane unltracapacitors can be improved by increasing the dispersion of electrocatalytic particulates in the electrodes. Electrochemical ultracapacitors store energy by utilizing double-layer and surface redox processes. The key objectives of this project is the preparation of highly dispersed ruthenium oxide on carbon. This material will then be characterized and incorporated into a prototype ultracapacitor using a commercial ionomer membrane. Possible applications of high-energy-density electrochemical ultracapacitors include electric vehicles, pulse-power space applications, power conditioning, and computer memory backups.
