摘要
An asymmetric electrochemical capacitor with an enhanced energy density has been constructed by using carbon fabric electrodes modified with complementary functionality; anthraquinone for the negative electrode and 1,2-dihydroxybenezene for the positive electrode. Cyclic voltammetry and constant current discharging were used to evaluate the performance of a supercapacitor with 1 M H2SO4 electrolyte and a Nation separator. Energy densities were found to be double the values obtained for a symmetric device with two unmodified carbon fabric electrodes. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
