- Description
- SBIR/STTR Program - The proposed innovation utilizes carbon nanotubes (CNTs) coatedwith pseudo-capacitive MnO2 material as nano-composite electrode and ionic electrolytefor the construction of ultracapacitors. This novel approach of using nano-structuredCNTs architectures provides high surface area of attachment of MnO2 nano-particles tomaximize the charge efficiency and power capacity and to reduce series resistance.Preliminary results at Vanderbilt University using this CNTs/ MnO2 nano-composite aselectrode of an ultracapacitor has demonstrated enhanced capacitor behavior of >400Xover pristine CNTs as electrode.<P>During Phase I, we will demonstrate in the laboratory that the proposed novel concept isfeasible and measure the power and energy generation capacity, efficiency, andcharging/discharging cycle durability. The key factor to successful exploitation of theCNT/ MnO2 nano-structured composite for ultracapacitor applications is closely related tofurther understanding and control of the physics, materials, and micro-fabricationtechnology. The proposed Phase I work provides a systematic, logical, and coherentinvestigation of the material issue, device fabrication, characterization, simulation,evaluation, and optimization to meet high power requirements.
