摘要
The supercapacitive properties of nickel(II) tetraaminophthalocyanine (NiTAPc)/ multi- walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) nanocomposite films have been interrogated for the first time and found to possess a maximum specific capacitance of 981 +/- 57 F g(-1) (200 +/- 12 mF cm(-2)), a maximum power density of 700 +/- 1 Wkg(-1), a maximum specific energy of 134 +/- 8 Wh kg(-1) and excellent stability of over 1500 charge-discharge continuous cycling. Impedimetric study proves that most of the stored energy of the MWCNT-NiTAPc nanocomposite can be accessible at high frequency (720 Hz). When compared to MWCNTs modified with unsubstituted nickel(II) phthalocyanine (MWCNT-NiPc) or nickel(II) tetra-tert-buty/phthalocyanine (MWCNT-tBuNiPc), MWCNT-NiTAPc exhibited superior supercapacitive behaviour, possibly due to the influence of nitrogen-containing groups on the phthalocyanine rings.
