Definitions

  • This invention pertains generally to synthesis schemes and methods for producing networks of carbon containing nanostructures and inorganic nano- scale materials, and more particularly to the synthesis and use of networks of interconnected and interpenetrating networks of crystalline carbon,
  • Electrode materials play a central role in a variety of devices, including energy storage, electronic and opto-electronic devices. Batteries and supercapacitors require electrodes with high electrochemical activity and large electrical conductivity. Opto-electronic devices require light sensitive materials in combination with electrically conductive materials. Solar cells and light emitting diodes (LEDs) also require optically transparent and highly conducting electrodes.
  • Li ion insertion is slow, limiting the power that can be delivered, and the charging time for these batteries is comparatively long.
  • Electrochemical or supercapacitors represent alternative charge
  • Double-layer capacitance normally results from the separation of charge at the interface between high surface area electrodes and liquid electrolytes.
  • the capacitance, and thus the energy storage capacity for double layer supercapacitors where the energy is stored at the interface between the electrode and the electrolyte formed by two carbonaceous electrodes, is proportional to the surface area of the electrodes.
  • Typical energy and power values for double layer supercapacitors are 5 Wh/kg and up to 10 kW/kg respectively.
  • Pseudocapacitance arises from reversible faradaic electrochemical reactions taking place at or near the surface of an electrode over a suitable range of electrical potentials. Transition metal oxides have been shown to be useful electrode materials that utilize pseudocapacitance as the charge storage mechanism. There has been a concentrated effort in recent years to increase the energy storage capacity of supercapacitors and advanced batteries by using materials which have significant electrochemical activity, characteristically due to faradaic reactions at the surface or in the bulk. [0012] In addition to the electrochemical process based charge storage that occurs in batteries and supercapacitors, there is also a need for materials that that display significant electrochemical activity and respond to an external stimulus such as light. Such activity can be used for energy generation devices such as solar cells, and devices such as light emitting diodes. In all these cases the material is in contact with a charge collector in addition to a medium, such as an electrolyte that is inductive of the electrochemical activity.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un ensemble réseau interpénétrant avec un réseau de flocons connectés de carbone cristallin nanométriques et de particules nanométriques d'un matériau électroactif interconnecté avec les flocons de carbone. Les ensembles réseaux conviennent particulièrement à des applications de stockage d'énergie qui utilisent des matériaux électroactifs d'oxydes de métaux et un seul collecteur de charge ou une source et un drain. Les réseaux interpénétrants de flocons de graphène et de nanofeuilles d'oxyde de métal peuvent former des passages indépendants entre la source et le drain. Les matériaux conducteurs nanométriques comme des nanofils, des nanotubes de carbone, du charbon activé ou du noir de carbone peuvent être inclus comme partie du réseau conducteur pour améliorer le transfert de charge.
