High Energy Density Supercapacitor Based on a Hybrid Carbon Nanotube – Reduced Graphite Oxide Architecture

Bekyarova E., Ramesh P., Jha N., Itkis M.E., Haddon R.C., Carbon Solutions Inc, US

We report a high energy supercapacitor device that utilizes hybrid carbon electrodes and the ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (BMIMBF¬4) as an electrolyte. The hybrid electrodes were prepared from reduced graphite oxide (rGO) and purified single [...]

Carbon Nanotube Thin Film based Fuel Cell to Reach DOE Targets

Palanisamy R., Itkis M.E., Bekyarova E., Haddon R.C., Carbon Solutions Inc, US

We demonstrate a prototype polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) that reaches the technical targets set by DOE for 2015. We show that the Pt required for automotive fuel cells can be reduced by an [...]
